Outlandish Judging In Saul Canelo Alvarez Fights: Corruption Or Coincidence?

So, Khan needs a KO to get a Draw?

I dunno about Moretti to be honest... he judges so many big event fights in Vegas. I wouldn't be surprised.. http://boxrec.com/person/401002/25?human_id=584917&role=judge He must be making a lot of money there, jeez. He judged 9 out of 11 of Floyd's last fights That's a lot of Floyd fights, there could be something to it. Another thing: since the Canelo vs Cotto fight, he judged 4 fights and all of them featured all Mayweather promotion boxers fighting each other. Could be that he's loyal to Floyd first, which explains the fair decision in the Mayweather-Canelo, but he can also be bought by Golden Boy for Canelo fights. He might be one of those judges which the industry insiders know can be bought.

Do we know if Dave Moretti has scored any other major Goldenboy fights recently?

I'm impressed with Alvarez as a student of boxing but can't fully back him. The corrupt judging that he benefits from The Floyd fight drew suspicion. The cotto fight proved it.

who cares? he's the best 155 pounder ever

The open scoring during the Austin Trout fight was the probably one of the most disgusting things i've seen on tv. they only announce the scores every 4 rounds that gives them some wiggle round to hide their corruption. if they announced their scores every round which they could easily do but they simply do not want to then we would have a clear view of their corruption/incompetence.

You think that's corruption? wait till Canelo gets KOed in 5 rounds against golovkin and still wins the fight 117-111 on the scorecards... better yet wait till WBC strips GGG of his mandatory position for not agreeing to fight at 155, or elevate canelo to a gold titanium dimond champion and make GGG the regular champion.

Corruption. Besides the judging mentioned here you could also throw in the very sketchy fast stoppage of his fight where he was looking bad against Alfonso Gomez(which also had crazy scorecards at the time of the stoppage to boot). And of course, there's the careful matchmaking to get him set up with a paper belt originally culminating in him beating the great Matthew Hatton for a 154 lb strap. To be fair to Canelo, the corruption itself for a house fighter isn't anything new and at least he's seemingly turned the corner to taking on a reasonable challenge every few fights. The run of Trout, Floyd, Angulo, Lara, Kirkland, and Cotto is a solid mix of challenge and stay-busy types. The Khan fight is a joke but at least there's some cause for optimism that after that he takes on someone legit next(probably at a catchweight).

The right fighter won in all of those fights. Matter fact only one of those fights was even close and that was the Lara fight where the majority of outside media and fans had Canelo winning the fight. Some had it a draw and even fewer in the minority had Lara winning. So I don't see what the beef is the guy who won is the the guy who the majority of fans and media all thought won. Lara flat out ran and disgraced himself. Trout got dropped and admitted he deserved to lose the fight in his post fight interview. He was down early in the fight and because it was open scoring Caenlo took his foot off the gas, if not for that I believe Canelo presses and likely knocks him out. He was in total control all night long. Judges wasn't the problem in that fight open scoring which is TERRIBLE and robs fights of any drama turned the scoring in the final 1/3 of that fight irrelevant because Canelo knew he couldn't lose unless he was KO'd turning the fight into NFL's version of a team playing the clock in the 4th quarter because they are up big on the scoreboard. Cotto missed 500 punches no lie go look at the compubox stats, Canelo landed more and did more damage while Cotto was on his bike throwing punches that Canelo slipped and countered all night long. The only scorecard I have a problem with is CJ Ross in the mayweather fight but that goes back to her scorecard in Manny vs Bradley. Clearly she knows nothing about boxing and it's why she is no longer allowed to judge fights. http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/9688631/cj-ross-steps-scoring-mayweather-alvarez-fight-draws-controversy

Yup. Clear corruption.

The only issue I have is the one judge scoring a draw with Mayweather and the one who had the Trout fight 9 rounds to 3 or whatever it was. Otherwise, the right man won the fights so it's not a problem.

Clearly corruption let's be serious :lol1: You got Nelo-judges judging fights at Neloweight.

Showtime about Canelo in the Maywether fight: "Man, he is hitting air really really hard!"

Let's briefly look at Canelo's last 4 fights which went the distance. The decisions of these fights were all hotly disputed, some more than others, with the exception perhaps being the Mayweather fight where the vast majority thought Canelo clearly lost (albeit while being weight-drained and green at the time). You can see in each of these fights there is at least one outlandish scorecard that is very far removed from what really happened in the fight. Is this indicative of corrupt, bought judges being utilized in Canelo fights to ensure he wins, or just coincidence? Also worth nothing is that judge Dave Moretti actually judged 4 of Canelo's last 5 fights! He judged fairly in the Mayweather fight back in 2013, giving Floyd the decision, but he was the most inaccurate judge in the Cotto fight in 2015, giving Cotto only 1 round! Maybe Moretti was clean at one point, but got bought, bribed and turned corrupt sometime since that Floyd fight. Speculation, but certainly plausible given Moretti's inexplicable score in the Cotto fight and the fact he's selected so regularly now to judge Canelo fights. Signs of a bought judge perhaps? Most inexplicable scoring marked in red, are these judges corrupt: Miguel Cotto Burt A. Clements 118-110 Dave Moretti 119-109 John McKaie 117-111 Erislandy Lara Dave Moretti 115-113, Levi Martinez 117-111 Jerry Roth 113-115 Floyd Mayweather Jr (Canelo Lost) Dave Moretti 112-116 C.J. Ross 114-114 Craig Metcalfe 111-117 Austin Trout Rey Danseco 115-112 Stanley Christodoulou 118-109 Oren Shellenberger 116-111 I don't see why you let Moretti off the hook in the Mayweather fight...he gave Canelo 4 rounds.......most people outside of the US and the awful showtime commentary gave him 1 round at best.

Corruption. It's not like they're hiding it from plain sight

I think it's corruption. It's also part of the reason I think Canelo may be capable of beating GGG if it goes the distance and he puts up a decent performance.
