    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
    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.
