    The saying "Has to knock him to get a Draw"

    That is the saying when a fighter is against all odds in terms of corruption. One fighter who went through this was Sergio Martinez, when he technically knocked out Kermit Cintron, but ended up getting a Draw on the scorecards.

    Has this ever happened before?

    I know Edison Miranda made Arthur Abraham quit when he broke his jaw in Germany, AA himself shook his head indicating he could not continue. The fight was either about to be waved off, or was literally waved off by the ref IRRC then revived by Abraham's corner. Abraham went on to win and I felt he deserved it and that was what made me a fan of his.

      The title confused me way too much to formulate an opinion.
