	Each [[decision]] is defaulted as a generic [[win on points\|points win]]. This is particularly true for older bouts, where it is often unknown how the judges scored the fight. Some countries (Britain most notably) have not always used [[judge]]s, and thus decisions were given solely by the [[referee]]. Therefore, there had never been any need of unanimous or majority decisions so all decisions were recorded simply as "points." The judges' tallies for more current fights are usually known, however. If it is documented by some source to be a [[unanimous decision]] (UD), [[split-decision]] (SD), or [[majority decision]] (MD), the bout will reflect that.
