That's included in split decision. Split decisions are any decision that's not unanimous. From BoxRec.com:

Quote:
A split decision occurs when two of the three judging officials decide in favor of one boxer, while the third official deems the opponent the winner. A split decision officially is recorded as a win in a boxer's fight record. (Compare majority decision.)

I figured since there's no way to have a split decision and not have it be a majority - assuming three judges - that was self-explanatory. If it was one and one with one even, the fight would be a draw. So it's either a split decision, a unanimous decision, or a draw. I see what you mean, though. I think the official classification is still split - at least in boxing terms.

Colloquial usage is different, and in that sense, you're absolutely right.
