Big fights that ended in a Technical Decision

[handsofstone]

Its never nice to see fights end that way but sometimes their a godsend when a fights scrappy and the styles just aren't gelling,last nights European BW title fight between Lee Haskins and Omar Lamiri is a prime example as was Martin Murray's fight with Domenico Spada

Thankfully they aren't too common and I can't remember them happening often in big fights,Ward-Kessler and Bradley-Alexander are the ones I can remember

Any others?

Chávez v Randall 3 I think
Paul weir in a world title fight

Pongsaklek vs Naito, Martin Castillo vs Felix Machado, Ruslan Chagaev vs Carl Davis Drummond, Joichiro Tatsuyoshi vs Paulie Ayala, all title fights that ended on a tech. decision ... Pacquiao vs Agapito Sanchez a technical draw.

Only know all this stuff off the top of my head because I researched a piece on head-clash endings for Boxing Monthly not that long ago, with special emphasis on southpaw fighter vs orthodox fighter head-clash endings. All the fights mentioned above were southpaw vs orthodox matches. Cory Spinks vs Rafael Pineda was another.

Hope this helps...

Daorung Chuwatana vs Nana Yaw Konadu

Surely the king of all world title technical decisions was Sung Kil Moon. He won the WBA bantamweight title on a TD, then later won the WBC super-flyweight title on a TD, and one of his defences was also a TD. See http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_ ... &cat=boxer . From what I recall from Boxing News's reports, he used to cut incredibly easily and any cuts seemed to be ruled to have come from accidental butts, without exception...

The Ruslan Chagaev-Carl Davis Drumond WBA title fight ended with a TD win for Chagaev.

[Boxing Prospect]

Kompayak Porpramook vs Jonathan Taconing was another recent one.

[Graham Houston]

Just thought of two more: Amir Khan vs Barrera and Khan vs McCloskey (the latter an orthodox style vs southpaw style bout).

[littlepug]

Eubank v sherry
Lewis v klitchko

[littlepug]

Oops Lewis v kilt wasn't

[Monte Fisto]

khan vs barrera, ok wasnt a huge fight, but relatively big and would have been much more competitive if not for the cut.
