And I LOOOOVED Benny Leonard v Lew Tindler(I'm not sure if I spelt that right). Classic boxer v puncher,2 greats at lightweight if I'm correct. Anyway,1thing that perplexed me was that the commentator mentioned,that all Benny had to do was not get knocked out and he would keep his title,via no decision? This confused me! Why would it be a no decision and not go to the scorecards?

CC for any responses,I must have made a few mistakes in there so forgive me!

This was a difficult research, but I learned a lot about boxing history in my quest. This may be the answer to your question:

The State of New Jersey (site of the July 27, 1922, match) had a “no-decision law” that meant a champion could only lose his title by a knockout.
