Obviously a knockout and/or knock downs would fix this but I was wondering in close championship fights do you think that the judges may view it as Boxer A is the champ and Boxer B has to beat him and not necessarily the other way around. Basically in a close match will the champ get the benefit of the doubt because they are the champion.
What got me thinking about this was an old WWF match between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. It was a 60 minute Iron Match at wrestlemania and it went to a draw. Bret Hart was leaving and was told that there had to be a winner. He ended up losing. He then stated that he was robbed because as the challenger Shawn Michaels had to beat him during the initial match but he didn't have to beat Shawn Michaels.
