Judging in boxing can often time be very, very, very, very, very, very awful. Sometimes it's good. Max Kellerman says judging doesn't matter because he knows who won the fight. I'd say it does matter, if only because it's a real sport and not pro wrestling. But I don't want to stray too far from the topic: I want to use this thread to discuss my opinion on some boxing decisions after I watch fights.
I just watched the GGG vs Canelo fight. What everybody says about Adelaide Byrd appears to be correct. She had it 118-110 in favor of Canelo... I thought GGG won the fight 117-111, but I'd be willing to go with you if you had Canelo with a couple more rounds. 118-110 Canelo? No way. Admittedly, I'm a novice when it comes to knowledge on pugilism, but I think GGG's jab, pressure, footwork, and pace allowed him to rack up the rounds on Canelo. Canelo took the shots well and landed the bigger shots, but he resorted to fighting up against the ropes and let GGG do what he wanted to do for most of the fight.
Even if it is only Camo that responds, I'm interested in hearing other opinions on this. Also curious about other fights somebody might want to talk about.
