Can someone explain what the judges in Canelo-Bivol were doing exactly?

[MaksBox]

Interestingly, after the 5th round or so, the commentators also quickly started talking about Bivol. lol. It's like they were given the go ahead.... "alright, looks like Bivol will win and judges won't screw him."

Then look at Porter, that female boxer, and Danny Jacobs.... went from "Easy canelo win" to "Bivol outboxed him and I knew that would happen."

[BigDramaShow]

It's like they try to score it so it's close in case Canelo got knocked down or something, they could call a draw. Didn't work since he got dominated. Bivol is legit.

They waited until the fight ended, than threw the real score cards though the window and made up that sh.it to make a rematch more interesting.

I just don`t believe all 3 judges scored it identically. It never happens.

There is no way in hell that Canelo won the first four rounds. His punches were not landing on the scoring area.
The judges all of them need to be fired.. The scoring was ludicrous.

[Dakuwaqa]

The first 4 rounds were close. This is undeniable.

Canelo won round 9.

They clearly gave Canelo all the close rounds.

Which is standard for a Canelo fight. It’s bs

steve weisfeld, dave moretti and tim cheatham did their job to provide an escape route for the ginger minge. had clenbut---canelo recieved and accidental headbutt or elbow it goes to the score card. namely the first four rounds. aint that a biarch

[Superbee]

Judges tried hard... All gave rounds 1 to 4 to Ginger which is a felony... Then they realized they couldn't do it anymore because the face of boxing would be tarnished forever... They had to bail out of the "conspiracy"...

[Get em up]

I dont care how it looked on paper at the end of the day the right guy won a unanimous decision. History is in the books that way is all that matters

[Smash]

I guess I'm a cynic because I think Canelo won some rounds officially vs GGG that were just as clear against him as some rounds vs Bivol. But I see your point.

The judges did everything they could for nelo, if nelo had actually managed to make any of the last 3 rounds close they would have given him a draw.

Difference between this and say gg1 and fights like ward kov is that a lot of people swear blind that both nelo and ward won those fights or at the very least drew, can u see anyone swearing blind that nelo won or drew that fight even if he had managed to make one of the last 3 rounds close?

Bivol was wise to sweep all the championship rounds

didn't pull a Marquez and chill in the final 2 rounds in his trilogy with manny
