What is a Majority Decision?

What is the technical reasoning behind a Majority Decision?

 

[gotBooched]

That means two judges saw it in way of one fighter and the third judge saw it as a draw

Majority 2-1 versus UD 3-0

Whereas a split is two judges to one fighter. One judge to the other.

Its the correct answer when Conor fans say he dominated Nate in their 2nd fight.

 

[Airdack]

Get this guy a job judging, he's already more qualified then the people we have now

Anderson/Maia wasn't a majority decision, though, deceptive gif...

Yeah the graphic is wrong.

Scores were definitely all Anderson
50-45 50-45 49-46

It's a decision that's made by the majority.

jeez, conor is deep rooted in this poor guy's brain

HERe is what the decisions look like
Unanimous Decision is all three judges give it to one person
Split Decision is when one judge has it for one person and two judge have it for the other.
Majority Decision is when two judges have it for a person and the other judge has it a draw
Majority Draw is when two judges have it as a DRAW and the other judge has it for either guy, in THIS CASE, THE MAJORITY, which is 2 judges, outweight the one judge and it is a DRAW!
SPlit Draw is when one judge has it for one fighter, another judge hs it for the other fighter, and the third judge has it a draw

What's the last time you've seen a majority decision, again?

I know a lot of people bring McGregor for whatever reason, but the last one I recall was indeed Diaz vs. McGregor.

I remember when you could take a joke and not get too butthurt about it .

 

[BoTyson]

Its rocket science, you won't understand it.

 

[Thy]

it's a useless opinion. all fighters should instantly blow up if someone doesn't tap or get ko'ed.

 

[KingBeef]

It's a decision that's made by the majority.

Two judges score the fight for the same fighter the third judge scores it a draw!

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

They fucked up one of the Wonderboy v Woodley fights, they got the scores right but the name of the decision wrong.

Never once heard of a split draw ever. Mind is blown over here.

Any examples?
