Do you think the result of a Draw in professional boxing should be taken out ?

Not particularly, sometimes a draw is the best decision in a tough fight.

What needs to go is what happened with the Fury Wilder situation the immediate rematch should be automatically enforced in a contract in the event of a draw

Agreed, but it wasn't enforced.

Absolutely not

Draw has its place. And I think there should be more 10-10 rounds too. I don't like even rounds being sent one way on a whim cause judges are too scared to score a controversial 10-10.

Tony Thornton and Doug De Witt battled to a draw and they then went back at it with an extra round. We should bring that in, huge added drama and a bonus round with it all on the line.

Easy to do really, fck knows why we have such a delay before the decision when they hand over the cards each round then just have to add a few 10's, 9's, 8's and occasional 7's ffs

You would think technology would allow big fights scorecards to be counted 10 seconds after the last bell.

I was at an unlicensed show where the away fighter fought the local girl to a standstill, IMO did enough to win, and they declared it a draw over 3 (no scores announced, just that its a draw). At that point, not mentioned before, the promoter of the show gets in the ring and announces that there will be a fourth round as a decider. They box one more round and they decide the local girl has won it. If it had been my fighter in the away corner I'd have told the promoter to get stuffed.

Personally I think a draw is as valid a result as any other. its not like its a contrived result. Sometimes its all they can bring themselves to do for the away corner.
