    I have my own reasons as to why they happen but im always up to be corrected and see other peoples viewpoint. So how does a draw happen? and what are the determining factors as to how they come up with one?

    well the easy answer would be one fighter starting well and winning the first 6 rounds clearly, but fading down the stretch and losing the next 6, also close round in fights dont help matters

    If a fight is a draw, they should immediately fight one more round to determine the winner. That would be interesting wouldn't it. Two fighters knowing that the result rests on one single round.

    That's the K1 way.
    I don't get why there always has to be a winner? A lot of fights that have been debatable in the past were better of being a draw.

    uneven number of rounds? would that be an option, instead of 6, 8, 10 and 12, ie as long as there are no even rounds scored, then a winner must be declared,

    I've often wondered this myself. You'd still have the potential for 10-8 rounds, etc. factoring in, but particularly in shorter fights, 5 or 7 rounds makes more sense than 4, 6, and 8.
