:''For the CW pilot, see Split Decision (TV series). For a pricing game from ''The Price Is Right'', see Split Decision (pricing game)''
A 'split decision' in boxing is the outcome of a boxing match (professional or amateur) in which two of the three judges score for the same boxer as the winner, while the third judge scores for the other boxer.
A split decision is different from a majority decision, which occurs when two judges pick the same fighter as the winner, while the third judge scores a draw (evenly for both fighters). Note that the effect is the same in both split and majority decision with the difference being that the margin of victory is greater in a majority decision. A split decision is the closest possible result in boxing where there is a winner and a loser. Many times split decisions outcomes create controversy.
