Levi Martinez is probably a mexican-American Judge, check his birth certificate. Any way,it was a really close fight and maybe canelo edged it, im not 100% sure because i have to rewatch the fight again
The smoking gun he could have gotten away with it if only he would have made it close, but had to make it obvious to everyone without realizing it. Harder to convince the world who had Lara edging it that they had it wrong when 1 of the guys wasn't even watching the fight.

This score card is asinine. The 12th and a few other rounds are notable for all of the judges. Martinez card....is a sham.

I knew it was a Canelo win when I heard 117-111. I had it 115-113 Canelo, but I could see the 115-113 for Lara and potentially a draw.
If it wasn't for the crowd roaring it would have been a pretty ****ty fight.
This. Gave Canelo 115-113 win. Maybe the 2 of the judges were not impressed in the middle rounds when Lara went full on Oscar mode (Oscar v trinidad final rds).
Levi Martinez is a fine judge. 117-111 wasn't ridiculous.

He's made a ton of good calls, including Loma/Salido where he had it for Loma (which I agreed with)
They're going to ignore this.....I think he was paying attention to all the body shots Canelo was doing. I give Lara an extra round though compared to him.
It's so ignorant to say the rounds were close, then vilify someone for seeing the close rounds going to one guy.
Blaming it on race is just weak.
BTW, I had Canelo barely edging it.
Mexico is not a race for your information, it is a Nationality and it is a fact that Mexico is extremely Nationalistic almost to a fault!

Horrible scorecard, almost as bad as the 114-114 in canelo/Floyd..
Had canelo beating Lara 115-113.. No way did Lara only win 3 rds
I'm with you. Had it a draw though but no way did Lara only win 3 rounds. As soon as I heard "judge Levi MARTINEZ" I knew the jig was up

Close fight. Nobody won 117-111, but if they did, it wasn't Saul Alvarez.
