Draw or Technical Draw Boxing
Boxing RESULTS EXPLAINED
Boxing results broken down in our convenient guide, listing every kind of fight outcome.
What Practise All the Dissimilar Boxing Results Mean?
Information technology's true that battle results can be more a petty disruptive at times, mainly due to various factors – seemingly subtle – that decide a fight'southward outcome.
Here's a quick breakdown:
Unanimous Decision (UD)
All three ringside judges scored the fight in favor of the same fighter. Fighter A, for example. (run across Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Marcos Maidana II)
Split up Decision (SD)
The judges disagree on the fight'south victor. For example:
- Gauge one – Fighter A
- Judge 2 – Fighter B
- Judge 3 – Fighter B
Fighter B would exist the victor of the fight as he received the nod from the bulk of the judges. (see Saul Alvarez vs. Erislandy Lara)
Bulk Decision (MD)
Two of the judges scored the fight in favor of 1 fighter, while the other scored it evenly as a draw. For example:
- Judge 1 – Fighter A
- Judge 2 – Fighter A
- Judge 3 – Draw/Even
(come across Danny Garcia vs. Lamont Peterson)
Points (PTS)
Ofttimes dislocated with a Unanimous, Split or Majority Decision, and it'southward easy to see why. By and large speaking, a Points determination is awarded from a single judge, that being the bout'south referee, who, in addition to refereeing the contest, scores each round (often using the same criteria of a three-slice judging console). Normally Points judging is used in fights consisting of eight rounds or less, peculiarly for up-and-coming fighters or those in the early years of their professional careers. For instance, immature prospects in debut fights or those with less than 10 professional fights. It is also widely used in non-championship bouts in the UK.
Knockout (KO)
A knockout victory occurs when a fighter is knocked down and cannot rise to his feet in an upright-continuing position before the referee has issued a 10 count. This may be due to disorientation/concussion from the blow/south received prior to the knockdown, or due to the fighter being 'out cold' due to a astringent concussion. (see Gennady Golovkin vs. Marco Antonio Rubio)
Technical Knockout (TKO)
Often dislocated with a KO, a technical knockout occurs not based on whether a fighter can beat a 10 count, but due to the referee's discretion. In other words, a TKO occurs when the referee, out of concern for a fighter'due south safety, stops the fight. The referee will usually betoken this decision past crossing his hands. For case, fighter A may lose a fight by way of TKO if he is:
- Knocked down, gets back to his feet before the count of ten, just appears to exist seriously hurt; his legs may be shaky, eyes glazed, or is unable to reply to the referee'south instruction to 'walk towards him' (see Carl Froch vs. George Groves II)
- On the ropes, appears to be injure, and or caught, while returning picayune or no punches at Fighter B who is unloading a barrage of punishment the referee feels could seriously injure Fighter A (see Shawn Porter vs. Paulie Malignaggi)
- Barely able to compete. Fifty-fifty though he appears somewhat mobile and able to punch, he has become heavily fatigued and or despondent due to an accumulation of punishment from Fighter B over the form of the fight. The referee therefore feels Fighter A is unable to properly defend himself and compete due to the visible attrition. (encounter Terence Crawford vs. Yuriorkis Gamboa)
- Taking serious punishment from Fighter B; the referee sees Fighter B's corner throw the towel in the ring and promptly halts the bout (see Andre Ward vs. Paul Smith)
Retired (RTD)
This is an outcome that often comes about due to a determination made in betwixt rounds, more often than not when either a fighter decides he does not wish to continue the bout any farther, or his corner, in consideration of their fighter'due south safety, makes that decision for him (see Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs. Andrzej Fonfara)
Technical Determination (TD)
This occurs when an accidental foul has been committed which has caused the fight to be halted. As long as a minimum of four rounds have been completed, the fighter who has received the near points by the judges will exist the tour's victor by way of Technical Decision (see Evgeny Gradovich vs. Lee Selby). If four rounds have not been completed when the tour is halted, a No Decision is ruled (run into beneath). If judges score the tour even, a Technical Depict is ruled – if at least iv rounds have been completed (run across below).
Technical Depict (TD)
Generally, a Technical Draw occurs when an adventitious foul has taken place which has caused the tour to be halted; the bout's outcome is then determined by the judges' scorecards to this point equally long as at to the lowest degree 4 rounds have been completed.
No Decision (ND) / No Contest (NC)
Generally, this is scored when an accidental foul, such every bit a head butt or low blow, or a bizarre/unusual event takes place before four rounds have elapsed. For instance, Fighter A accidentally head butts fighter B in the 1st circular, and the fight ends in the 3rd round due to the cut. Additionally, postal service-fight a tour's issue can be inverse to a ND/NC; for instance, the victor may have since been tested positive operation enhancing drugs (PEDs).
Draw (D)
A Draw takes place when all three ringside judges score the bout dead even. For example:
- Estimate 1 – 114-114
- Judge 2 – 114-114
- Guess 3 – 114-114
This is very uncommon, even so, every bit at that place is usually a slight discrepancy between scorecards. It is far more common for a Split up Draw/Bulk Draw to be announced (meet beneath).
Split Draw (SD)
Essentially a Draw and may appear on some official boxer records as and so. However, a Dissever Draw is realized when one judge scores the fight even and the other two disagree on the tour's victor. For example:
- Approximate 1 – Even
- Estimate 2 – Fighter A
- Estimate 3 – Fighter B
(run across Andy Lee vs. Peter Quillin)
Majority Draw (MD)
Over again, substantially a Draw. A Majority Depict is reached when 2 judges score the fight even, and the other for one fighter. For case:
- Judge 1 – Fifty-fifty
- Judge 2 – Even
- Estimate 3 – Fighter A
(see Darleys Perez vs. Anthony Crolla)
Disqualification (DQ)
This occurs when a fighter has committed either a series of fouls or a unmarried major infringement that has prompted the referee to end the contest immediately, such every bit an intentional head butt which has opened up a severe cut. For example, a fighter may be Butterfingers for throwing rabbit punches, depression blows, intentional head butts, bitter, using illegal use of elbows, thumbing his opponent's optics, hit his opponent during a 'break', or intentionally after he has been knocked down or later the bell has rung to end the round. (see Mike Tyson vs. Evander Holyfield Ii)
