    Jim Braddock v Max Baer is almost always listed on as a UD for Braddock.

    But on boxing rec the scores read as following.

    Ref McAvoy 5-9
    Judge Kelly 7-7
    Judge Lynch 4-11

    Is this not a Majority Decision? If so why is it reported as a unanimous one on wikipedia and everywhere else?

    From Boxrec: -

    “Judge George Kelly scored it 7-7-1 but saw Braddock ahead on supplemental points.”

    I understand your question.

    This is a win for Braddock; without controversy.
    And whether it is a win for UD, MD, or SD - that is of less importance.
