• SD=Split decision
  • A split decision (SD) is a winning criterion in boxing, most commonly in full-contact combat sports, in which two of the three judges score one particular competitor as the winner, while the third judge scores for the other competitor.
• UD=Unanimous decision
  • A unanimous decision (UD) is a winning criterion in several full-contact combat sports, such as boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, mixed martial arts and other sports involving striking and submission in which all three judges agree on which fighter won the match.
• KO = Knockout
  • A knockout (abbreviated to KO or K.O.) is a fight-ending, winning criterion in several full-contact combat sports. A full knockout is considered any legal strike or combination thereof that renders an opponent unable to continue fighting.
• TKO = Technical Knockout
  • A technical knockout (TKO or T.K.O.), stoppage, or referee stopped contest (RSC) is declared when the referee decides during a round that a fighter cannot safely continue the match for any reason. Certain sanctioning bodies also allow the official attending physician at ringside to stop the fight as well. In amateur boxing, and in many regions professionally, a TKO is declared when a fighter is knocked down three times in one round. Furthermore, in amateur boxing, a boxer automatically wins by TKO if his opponent is knocked down four times in an entire match.
• RTD = Corner Retirement or Corner Stoppage
  • A corner retirement or corner stoppage – abbreviated "RTD (Retired)" by BoxRec – are terms used in boxing to describe a fight that ends when, during any rest period between rounds, a boxer refuses to continue or their corner pulls them out, thereby forcing the referee to call an end to the fight.
• MD = Majority Secision
  • A majority decision (MD) is a winning criterion in several full-contact combat sports. In a majority decision, two of the three judges agree on which fighter won the match, while the third judge indicates that neither fighter won (i.e., a "draw").
