    Not much you can do, a draw just means one guy didn't take over the fight, this is on the fighters, not the judges. I'm sure if you look at any draw you would see that if one fighter just decided to do the little extra like not hold on the break and work, there wouldn't be a draw.

    A 13th round sounds good to me. OT, a tiebreaker, like other sports do. "Sudden Death".

    So you saying the boxers fight for 12 rounds. Then stop, wait five minutes for the decision which comes out as a draw and then box one more round? Lmao.

    Also: even if they are mad enough to introduce your suggestion, what if the 13th round is even. Box another? Then another? Lmao, lmao....

    Draws are unsatisfactory but part of sport.

    They should NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, use Compubox to decide a winner.

    Compubox is already taken way too seriously as it is.

    I think that in some fights it's very hard to tell who actually won. everyone got a different opinion. and although it may not be satisfying for the people watching sometimes in a fight no one deserves to lose. :p

    A draw in any sport is bad, in Boxing it seems ten times worse. But its just the way it is, id rather a drawn fight be called a draw than one of the equally deserving Boxers getting shafted on some questionable technicality.

    Output of punches landed could be a good way to seperate the 2 whilst also encouraging fighters to be a bit more proactive during the fight but all the Boxing stats i see from fights differ from one set of people to the next so are pretty questionable.

    And having a 13th round try get a winner is nice but they would need to seriously speed up the offical scorecard counts these knackered, energy spent Boxers would be struggling to not start seizing up, even with excercises.

    There is nothing wrong with two people being equal.

    If it has to be called a draw then let it be called a draw.

    The only thing wrong with draws is most of them shouldn't really have been draws.

    Not exactly. That was considered retaining the belt in his 1st defense. He was elevated from interim to regular champion in between Munroe II and Salinas.

    They should go to a slow motion replay like they do in the NFL.
