Just because the rounds are an even number doesn't severly effect the chance of a draw. That's why knockdowns are worth extra and point deductions cause a flux in points.
I think having an odd number of rounds will definitely MINIMIZE the "draw" results... since it will eliminate the situations where judges gave same number of rounds to both boxers in a 10-point must system and assuming no knockdowns in the fight...

If there's no point deductions and no knockdowns, it's expected that the fight will NOT end in a draw for an odd number of rounds fight...

Your forgetting odd number of judges
And that leads to inconclusive mixed decisions all the time
You could play Clazeghe/Hopkins in front of 151 different judges,and you allmost allways end up with different results
