GGG easily had 8, maybe 9 rounds.
It's funny when white guys get robbed in boxing and MMA against black champions they always trot out the "beat the champ to be the champ" excuse. It's clearly nonsense.

Absolutely horrible.

Works for me. I didn't want to see either fighter lose. GGG has a moral victory, and Canelo upholds the national honor.
Damn I'm an easy going guy.

Believe it or not Abe Attell was the master of the paper decision he would run and hide late because before official decisions you had to be ko'd to win the belt. I think this fight went back to that era.

Worst judge in boxing history. Gives GGG only 2 rounds. Thankfully GGG keeps his belts.

Anyone shocked that Adelaide Byrd had another blatantly corrupt scorecard? 118-110 Canelo?
It was expected. Disgraceful "judge."

She is trending on Twitter now and getting absolutely hammered.

From now on anytime i plan on watching a fight...will make sure Who the Judges are first...IF Adelaide Bryd happens to be one of them...will REFUSE to Watch!!! Her License needs to be REVOKED/Banned for Life after this foolishness!!! Had the feeling if GGG didn't get the KO...He'd get screwed on the decision. Was it rigged to get $$$ making rematch...to make up for the Mayweather/McGregor jackpot???
GGG was in control of the fight...was the aggressor over 80%...walked right thru Canelo's punches/ My only complaint was GGG didn't go to the body enough...but his peppering jab alone was enough to Win....

This year sucks...I knew GGG was going to star the fight 2 point down just because he was figthing in las Vegas. And I had him winning the fight by 2 point...the result a draw obviously. But yeah the only way he could have won this fight was by KO.

Have to be honest guys, I'm a huge GGG fan and was pulling for him bigtime, but scoring the fight in real time I had it a draw 6 rounds to 6. I gave Canelo Rounds 1, 2, and 12. The midrounds were scattered. I congratulate both guys on a fight well fought. It delivered substantially more than the mega fights of recent years.
A couple things stood out to me: GGG was effective with the jab, Canelo was effective with "big shots", and GGG had Canelo on the backfoot and ropes throughout.
There's an old adage in boxing that to beat the champ you need to be on the frontfoot and take the fight to him. Canelo failed to do that and GGG was unquestionably the aggressor in the fight. In that respect, if I had to choose I'd say GGG slightly edged it.
118-110 Alvarez is hands down one of the worst scorecards ever recorded. She needs to be fined, fired, and replaced but this is boxing the most corrupt sport on Planet Earth so nothing will happen, in fact she'll be promoted.
GGG was the aggressor but boxing has turned into a sport that values defensive styles over landed punches.
I just imagine what would have happened had GGG been younger. I think it may have been a different ballgame.
If I was GGG I'd say "Fc-uk you. No rematch. You fought like a girl on the backfoot. I still have my titles and successfully defended.". A draw is a win for the champ in a sense he keeps his titles. His management should get him an easy defense for record tying #20, GGG has earned a victory lap.
Well done from the young guy even though he ran like a girl.
Well done from the older veteran. Maybe in his younger days it would have been more decisive.
In effect, a draw is a win for the champ (GGG) in that he keeps his titles and it counts as a successful defense. Rightfully so.
That's boxing. If I'm GGG I say Fc-uk you, no rematch!

One other thing, Max Kellerman was horrible tonight. And he always is. He needs to be fired and pink slipped ASAP. Someone should write HBO and start a petition. I'll sign it. He's the worst commentator I've ever seen.

Thankfully I streamed the UK feed without him but they still aired his terrible post fight interview. He is garbage.
GGG got 8 rds to to 4 and I am being somewhat generous. Moreover, WTF is Loeffler thinking? He should know that black c*nt Judge Byrd is on take. If I am GGG, fire Loeffler, and hire other management. Take the show to England and pulverize Saunders. Then hold all belts.

My score as well, and many others scored it the same.
It's probably the most accurate scorecard, either that or 117-111 for GGG.

This is outrageous! GGG says this messing up the sport. F*ck it. F*ck Canelo and Golden Boy. Mopped the floor with Saunders and have all the belts. Tell Canelo to go to Russia for the rematch. Sure the money will not be same, but you will get justice. I am pissed.

Well sounds like boxing done shot itself in the foot again. "World" titles long ago became meaningless to me. Now official decisions no longer mean anything to me. I just care about the fight itself. The watered down titles, outrageous decisions, the corruption, the whole farce of it all is almost comic at this point.
I mean, they go to the trouble to finally make this great match-up, and then this. Vegas is just like our rotten to the core government. Yeah we're crooked. So what? What are you piss ants gonna do about it?
Enough to make a guy a little cynical.

Byrd gets hammered front page of Yahoo:
https://www.yahoo.com/sports/contro...nues-embarrass-refusing-change-082853459.html
NSAC Bob Bennett is an idiot. She will never be punished but fighters and promoters should see to it that she doesn't work their fights.

Why do you think Byrd did this? This is the same racist that scored the fight for Hopkins against Calzaghe. This was done to protect Hopkin's legacy. How they can allow this racist to be a referee is beyond me. She is clearly a black racist.

To be fair who is she racist against? She had no dog in this fight in that sense. She is just corrupt/incompetent.
In the old days you had to put your time in as a world class referee before they put you out to pasture as a referee and you became a judge, but with AA hirings, Byrd was promoted to this job and unless we have people with cameras and a bag of cash or other valuables we will never see her fired or even suspended. I remember years ago Eugenia Williams turned in a scorecard like this in Lewis-Holyfield I and reporters found out she had a 20K credit card debt and still nothing came of her obvious corruption.
