Assuming there's no KDs and deductions, in odd number of rounds a judge is expected to determine a winner. For example Judge A has Boxer 1, then Judge B has Boxer 2. Judge C can't give an even (draw) total score for the fight because of the odd number of rounds so Judge C has either Boxer 1 or Boxer 2 as winner then it results to a majority decision (MD) win of either boxers.
But the judge has all the capability to manipulate the score. The judge can score a round even, 9-9 or a 10-10 round that can result to a draw but these are exceptional situations.
Though as always, the question still remains the same, does that boxer really deserve the win? At least they proclaim someone a winner instead of a draw. Odd number of rounds become a motivation (or added pressure?) for the boxer for there will be a minimal chance for a draw. So meaning if the boxer feels he's behind in the scorecards then he really needs a KO to win, he can't hope for a draw.
.
Even then,it really doesnt lessen the odds of a draw
Fullmer/Robinson Fullmer/Giardello Pep/McCallister Carmen Basillio had 7 draws
This is true. Draws are usually the resut of shady ass judges who don't have the nuts to give an all-out robbery and save their own boy with a draw. They also set up another fight quite nicely.

An odd number of rounds will minimize a "draw" result...

Never did before
Odd number of rounds will not totally eliminate the "draw" results but I think it will minimize or lessen it...

Love tough evenly matched fights but I believe draws have earned the stigma of shady officiating and a wink & nod for some.Just seems that for the Pac/Marquez 1's and Toney/McCallum 1's we see declared draws that they are way over shadowed by the Whitaker/Chavez,Nelson/Fenech 1,and Lewis/Holyfields1's of the world.I just don't think anyone likes Draws. Though,their are instances when they seem unavoidable.

Wonder why it is that fighters in Argentina have so many draws on their records. Might be because that have so many fights. :confused:
