      i think she is a good judge too. she kinda sticks out for being a woman which reeks of incompetence (see julie lederman)

        Adalaide Byrd seems to get a lot of stick over her scoring. Seen a lot of comments lately since she has been announced as judging Pac vs JMM 4

        Personally I feel she is the best most unbiased judge in boxing and is a credit to the sport.

        I am uncertain where the dislike has generated.

        Okay she scored Trout v Cotto 119-109, I only gave Cotto 2 or 3 rounds myself and I am pretty sure those were swing-rounds that could of gone either way.

        She scored Abril v Rios - 117-111 for Abril, that is great judging.

        I've looked through most of her scoring and I genuinely can not see why people are against her judging.
        Adalaide Byrd 114-113 (Hopkins over Calzaghe) is the only card I can find where I could maybe see people questioning it, again, this was a close fight!

        I see she has been judging in a few controversial fights, but her scorecards are always **** on. So why the hate?

        She is probably the best in the business. I hope she doesn't make me look a kn0b now and hand some ridiculous scorecard in

        That is one judge I have faith in.
        I think she votes with the brothas but since we don't have one here I don't know what she'll do. Not crazy about her myself. Think she's more than capable of a smelly scorecard.

          Trout outworked Cotto in every round. Cotto won no clear rounds and only had 2 or 3 close ones. Landing 3 punches at the end of the round doesn't make up for what Trout did for the majority of the round.

            Byrd was the judge for Pacquiao-Cotto/De La Hoya obviously easy fights to judge but she did give the widest cards on both occasions.

              A little too wide.... she gets praise for the Abril fight though
              No judge is going to get it right 100% of the time. I did think the scoring for Cotto/Trout was a little wide but I'm not going to go on a rampage over it.

                If the worst scorecard someone can find is Super Joe vs Bhop I think she will be fine.
