Technical draw
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Technical draw is a term used in boxing when a fight has to be stopped because a fighter is unable to continue from an accidental injury (usually cuts), or foul.
Draws occur when the bout goes to the scorecards, and the officials can't determine a winner. If a winner is determined, the decision is referred to as a Technical Decision.
They also occur when a bout has not completed a certain number of rounds (usually four), thereby not making it an "official fight." Most states have eliminated the technical draw decision for bouts that don't go a required distance, and have replaced it with a no contest.
