What is a split-decision draw?

[Hallmans Budgie]

I've never heard of that before?

 

[savemgs]

Very good question.

3 judges, 3 different results = Split draw.

 

[Katsumi Yamada]

Apparently it's a split draw.

Not sure why they called it a split decision draw.

If two judges scored the fight for fighter a and the third scored for fighter b, that'd be a split decision.

If two judges scored the fight for fighter a, and the third scored the fight a draw, it'd be a majority decision.

If two judges scored the fight for a draw, and the third scored it for fighter a, it'd be a majority draw.

If 1 judge scores for a, a second scores for b, and the third scores it a draw, it's a split decision draw.

Ok...I've always known that to be called a split draw. Not that it matters

 

[Jin Akutsu]

I was confused when they didn't announce it as a split draw but it sounds like they reached that result.

 

[filthynumber1]

That's called a bullshit announcement jimmy

If 1 judge scores for a, a second scores for b, and the third scores it a draw, it's a split decision draw.

And if all 3 judges score it a draw then it would be a unanimous decision draw.

It is a "split decision" any time the judges don't agree. It was a "draw" due to the result.

Also remember that the job of the announcer is to keep it exciting. He can't just say "we have a draw". He has to start with saying "split decision" then read out the judges scoring then confirm the result.

Uhh... Golovkin/canelo 1 was a split draw. Have you never watched a fight in your life?

It is when we all bet a lot money on winner Wilder or Tyson and we all lose and they all take our money
