A no contest is usually ruled when a fighter tests positive for some kind of illegal substance e.g toney- ruiz. Some fights are ruled a no contest if a damaging intentional headbutt occurs before round 4. I've no idea what a no decision is.

a no contest is when a different decission is made than the 1st 1 due to sumthin happenin or unknown infmormation

[Derranged_]

A "no contest" ruling usually occurs when the fighter who wins the bout tests positive for a banned substance i.e. steroids, marijuana. The reason for this is, that the fighter's performance may have been enhanced due to the banned substances.

However, if the loser of fight tests positive, then the victory stands because the winner didn't cheat.

Makes sense?

No decision

Although uncommon these days, a "no decision" bout occurred when--by law or by pre-arrangement of the fighters--if both boxers were still standing at the bout's conclusion and there was no knockout, no decision was rendered and neither boxer was declared the winner. There were two primary reasons for ND bouts: 1) some jurisdictions, in an attempt to curb ******** on the outcome of fights, enacted laws prohibiting decisions; and 2) some reigning boxing champions, in order to protect their titles, would demand in advance that a bout be "no decision" so that his opponent could not capture his crown by a win on points. But this did not prevent the pool of ringside newspaper reporters from declaring a consensus result among themselves and printing a newspaper decision in their publications. Officially, however, a "no decision" bout results in neither boxer winning or losing.
