Why is it a draw?

That is the way it is done and always has been and always will be. It won't change because you don't like it or you don't get it or agree with it. I think the current system is fine as is. One judge said a guy won and two judges say it was a draw then it's a draw . Majority rules and one judge does not overrule the other two. It is simple and fair and correct. I know the rules and what not, just stating I never cared for them. I was just using this fight as an example.

Your not bright eh Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids. (also, it's *you're...just before anyone else rubs it in;))

Oh I get it. Just saying I don't get it if you get my drift. Obviously it's a majority win if say Clayton wins 2 cards and Sergiy one. But Clayton winning one should break the tie. Your not bright eh

Good result for boxing. Spence doesn`t have to fight the winner, because there is no winner. Danny -Spence winner should fight Crawford - Brook winner.

Has a unanimous draw ever happened? There was one recently actually. Early this month or last month I believe. Think it was on a UK card. Yeah just did a quick search was early September. https://boxrec.com/en/event/814505/2531530 https://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=855349 This one too from some quick research https://boxrec.com/en/event/567417/1380130

You're talking about a unanimous draw which is very rare. There are 3 kinds. 2 judges scores a draw and one a winner is a Majority Draw. 2 judges score a win for each fighter and one a draw is a Split Draw then the UD which is pretty obvious. Has a unanimous draw ever happened?

It’s reasonable enough as it is , as it discounts for one bad scorecard. Obviously we have seen more than one before but it reduces the risk. Similarly - if you had a fight where judges 1&2 score the fight 1 point to fighter A; but judge 3 gave a landslide to fighter B you could argue on aggregate fighter B won. But on the same basis it’s a majority win for fighter A. To me this seems to the fairest solution.

How come it is a draw when one card shows a winner? Example, tonight's Showtime card. Two judges had it a draw, but the other scored it for Clayton. I never got that. A draw should be all three score cards are the same or one card for opponent A, another for opponent B and a equal card. the third vote is not a decider... majority rules more judges think it was a draw, than did not think it was a draw I agree that Clayton was "unlucky"... but when 2/3 judges think it was a draw, then the fight is scored a draw

Well it's majority wins so 2 overrule the 1. Like in a split decision. Even though it's a majority draw I guess that's why it's confusing you? Oh I get it.

Shouldn't Clayton have won? It's like 2 judges had a tie and one broke the tie. That's how I see it. Well it's majority wins so 2 overrule the 1. Like in a split decision. Even though it's a majority draw I guess that's why it's confusing you?

majority of decision determines the result even if one card favors the other. that's also what i'm thinking... the last scorecard should be the tie breaker. but they chose majority over it.

Hey I had it 7-5 Clayton but now that the IBF is out of the way for a few more months Spence can fight Crawford Yeah this is a good result for boxing. :lol1:
