And it was actually Nokweed who summed the round situation up in what I believe to be the best and clearest way at the WBC 2011 Las Vegas Convention:

"All 5 rounds score evenly - it should be looked at like 5 separate fights - that is why we stop and score at the end of each round"

The comparison with a marathon is not accurate - it would be if it was 1 x 15 minute round I agree - but it is a whole different scenario.

As a coach I may employ the strategy to conserve energy in the early rounds to save for later - and both fighters are feeling each other out so not taking risks - however you must be aware that you could also gain a valuable point by taking advantage of knowing your opponent could be relaxed in the first round. And if both fighters dont try because they feel they wont score - it would be as damaging as football teams just passing for the first half and only actually being competitive in the second half.
