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.

Famous quotes containing the words technical and/or draw:
“The axioms of physics translate the laws of ethics. Thus, “the whole is greater than its part;” “reaction is equal to action;” “the smallest weight may be made to lift the greatest, the difference of weight being compensated by time;” and many the like propositions, which have an ethical as well as physical sense. These propositions have a much more extensive and universal sense when applied to human life, than when confined to technical use.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Ultimately, it is the receiving of the child and hearing what he or she has to say that develops the child’s mind and personhood.... Parents who enter into a dialogue with their children, who draw out and respect their opinions, are more likely to have children whose intellectual and ethical development proceeds rapidly and surely.”
—Mary Field Belenky (20th century)
