I think the official list is:
  • Knock Out
  • Technical Knock Out (strictly according to the rules, this is what happens if a corner or the doctor stops the fight, or if a fighter quits on his stool as well as if the fight is stopped by a referee mid-action)
  • Submission
  • Decision (Split or Unanimous)
  • Disqualification

The other outcomes are:
  • No Contest (Fight is stopped because of a breach of rules or incident that is of no fault of either fighter but keeps the fight from continuing under the agreed-upon rules of the contest)
  • Draw

All except submission are true of boxing as well. If a fighter cannot continue, whether it's because of a cut, doctor stoppage - whatever - the ruling SHOULD BE "Technical Knock Out."

I think that covers it...
