Question

What is the meaning of draws in boxing?

Answer 1

thats the same as a draw in anything else it means there cannot be a definite winner both boxers fought enenly

Answer 2

Draw - When a match ends with completion of the specified maximum number of rounds, and the judges of the match have awarded an equal amount of points to both contestants, or if there are three judges (as is the custom) and one judge awards the fight to one fighter, another awards the fight to the opposing fighter, and the third scores it a draw, the match is declared a draw. The contest would be scored a draw even if two of three judges score it a draw and the third does not. Draws are relatively rare in boxing: certain scoring systems make it impossible for a judge to award equal points for a match. If a championship bout ends in a draw, the champion usually retains the title.

Majority Draw - A majority draw (MD) is an outcome in several full-contact combat sports, including boxing, mixed martial arts, and others sports involving striking. In a majority draw, two of the three judges agree that neither fighter won (i.e. tied scorecards), while the third judge indicates one fighter being the clear winner on his/her scorecard [1]. Thus, the majority of judges see the outcome as even and the result is announced as such, although one judge gave a clear victory on his/her card to one fighter.

The outcome is the rarest of professional boxing judged decisions. The most recent majority draw in a higher-profile contest was the March 2006 fight between then WBC heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman and James Toney. The contest produced a highly disputed outcome which judge John Stewart had scored the bout 117-111 for Rahman, but judges Tom Kaczmarak and Nobuaki Uratani saw it 114-114 even.

Technical Draw - A Technical draw is a term used in boxing when a fight has to be stopped because a fighter is unable to continue from an accidental injury (usually cuts), or foul.

Draws occur when the bout goes to the scorecards, and the officials can't determine a winner. If a winner is determined, the decision is referred to as a Technical Decision.

They also occur when a bout has not completed a certain number of rounds (usually four), thereby not making it an "official fight." Most states have eliminated the technical draw decision for bouts that don't go a required distance, and have replaced it with a no contest.

Answer 3

It means the fight was a tie, there is no winner.

Answer 4

A draw in boxing means that, according to the ringside judges, the fight was even, or "a tie."  There are a few different kinds of draws, but they all count the same on your record.  Here they are:

"Split draw"- One judge scores for fighter "A", another scores for fighter "B", and the third scores the fight even.  Example: 115-113 for fighter "A", 115-113 for fighter "B", and 114-114.  (Scoring can obviously be different)

"Majority draw"- One judge scores the fight for fighter "A", but he is overruled by the other two judges who scored the fight even.  Example: 115-113 for fighter "A", 114-114, and 114-114.  (Scoring can obviously be different)

You can also have a draw where all three judges score the fight even, but this is fairly rare.

There are also "technical draws", which can be where there is an accidental headbut in the first 4 rounds, and the fight must be stopped.  As a result, the fight gets ruled a "technical draw" and the draw goes on both fighter's records.  This rule is only in certain states- in many states, the fight will be declared a "no contest."  I think that a no contest is more fair because a technical draw could be the first blemish on an unbeaten fighter's record just because he was accidentally headbutted, even though he'll still be undefeated.
