Those monitoring Twitter during Saturday’s pay-per-view main event between Canelo Alvarez and Erislandy Lara may have observed the amount of disagreement on the scoring of many rounds. Heck, BoxingScene’s Jake Donovan noted four swing rounds — rounds that could’ve gone either way.
“Scores expected to be all over the place,” he tweeted after the 11th.
There would indeed be a split decision, with judge Jerry Roth seeing the bout 115-113, or seven rounds to five, for Lara, only to be outvoted by Dave Moretti, who had it 115-113 for Alvarez, and Levi Martinez, who had it 117-111 (nine rounds to three) for the redheaded star.
Martinez was the clear outlier, turning in a card that was far more lopsided than the fight appeared to be. We’ll come back to him in a moment.
