Do you still have an issue with the scores from first fights?
Fight 1:
Judge Dave Moretti scored the fight 115-113 for Golovkin while Don Trella saw it even at 114-114. The third judge, Adalaide Byrd, had a scorecard in favor of Alvarez by an inexpliecably wide margin of 118-110 (or, 10 rounds to 2).
Fight 2:
In front of a sell out crowd of 21,965, the fight was again not without controversy as Álvarez defeated Golovkin via majority decision after 12 rounds. Álvarez was favoured by judges Dave Moretti and Steve Weisfeld, both scoring the bout 115-113, the third judge Glenn Fieldman scored it 114-114.
My PERSONAL opinion:
I don't have an issue with the scoring but I also wouldn't have an issue if GGG was 2-0, it was split 1-1, or either fighter 1-0-1. The Adalaide Byrd scorecard in fight 1 was criminal and I don't believe she has judged a fight since (rightfully so).
Has anyone's position on first or second fight changed?
Do YOU think the scorecards as they happened will help or hurt either guy in a possible 3rd fight ???
