” I am a champion and I believe have won the match. I beat her in the two rounds. She has no punch and has to go and train again,” said a boastful Esther
Sandra said despite sustaining a deep cut, she had begged the doctors to allow her to continue.
” I begged the doctors to continue but they said i was not fit. I definitely want a rematch,” she said
Technical draw
A technical draw is a term used in boxing when a fight has to be stopped because a fighter is unable to continue from an accidental injury (usually cuts) or foul.
Draws occur when the bout goes to the scorecards, and the officials can’t determine a winner. If a winner is determined, the decision is referred to as a technical decision.
Technical draws also occur when a bout has not completed a certain number of rounds (usually four), thereby not making it an “official fight”. Most states have eliminated the technical draw decision for bouts that don’t go a required distance, and have replaced it with a no contest.
But that cut was not accidental she was punched.
