My take on Lara vs canelo

[MDPopescu]

Canelo landed 15 head shots all fight. Case closed.

... And he is the "future PPV star"...

That's a faulty comparison, because Lara landed more overall. Your comparison would only make sense if Canelo landed five times more to the body than Lara did to the head... This is however not the case.

I saw Canelo land more meaningful shots than Lara and it isn't really debatable

This fight reminded me of Thomas Dulorme vs Karim Mayfield, dude was fighting scared

And I guess that you imply that Lara was fighting scare as well?

But it's blatantly obvious that oscar paid off that judge from New Mexico. I'm surprised that more people haven't called him out on it. 117-111 is a redicilous score

I see a lot of people say "judges were paid off/bribed"

that isn't how it works

Would you explain exactly how if works then? I'm not being confrontational I'm genuinely curious. I mean how can one make such a mistake?

I'm glad someone agrees here. Compubox is pretty unreliable at times. Anyone with eyes could see who landed shots here. It wasn't like Lara was pulling an Algieri here.

Ringside doctors, referees, and judges are hired and paid on a fight to fight basis by the promoter

If you want to continue getting fights, there's going to be a cognitive bias from the jump on who you're going to lean towards as a judge, certainly some judges have morals and others do not

same with doctors, if the a-side fighter is winning a fight but gets his eye blown up with a punch, it wouldn't be in your best interest to stop the fight unless it's absolutely necessary, whereas if the lesser known guy is giving the a-side an asswhooping and gets the same injury, more likely than not that the dr will stop the fight

tl;dr: refs, judges, drs are hired by the promoter

K, thanks. If only more people realised this.
