A draw is a fight that went the distance and no clear cut winner was declared based💹 on scoring by the judges and so the fight then is declared a draw. A no contest is different and💹 usually when you don't have a fight that goes the distance and is stopped before its completion and no clear💹 winner is declared.

nowadays you have very few if any 'no decision' fights. A No Contest is usually💹 called if a fight ends in unusual circumstances, such as the the recent Chad Dawson v Bernard Hopkins fight, in💹 the 2nd round Hopkins was dropped onto his shoulder in an accidental clash with Dawson, and Hopkins wasn't able to💹 continue.
