1. When a fighter gets stopped, the announcer should say (as he once did) this fight has ended by way of knockout (or TKO), and the picture should show the ref holding one boxer's glove up while the other guy is helped to his corner. Then the ring announcer gives the official time of the stoppage. "Referee Boils O'Donahue calls a halt at 2 minutes 53 seconds of round 3!"

2. The game's AI will have to run individual fight cards in the background while the gamer runs his own. At the beginning, or perhaps any time in the running of an AU, the gamer would select a stable of fighters to run and maybe a few others to control, while the AI runs all the rest. Injured or suspended boxers are unable to participate during specified periods of game-time.

3. When a majority decision is announced, the first two verdicts should be a winning call and the even call, then the third would be, "...and Judge Smoot scores it 114-107 for the winner by majority decision....Abe Reles!" In this way the gamer is left unsure after the first two verdicts as to whether it may be a draw or a majority win. [In reality, in the old days they often gave it away with the first two verdicts.]

With a split decision, you announce one for each fighter then pause, and announce, "...Judge Farkle scored it 120-103 for the winner by split decision....Joe Schmedley!"
