Comments Thread For: CJ Ross Stands Firm: Mayweather-Canelo Was a Draw

[MisanthropicNY]

Her justification is actually alarming...she said because Canelo is so much younger than Mayweather..she believed he was stronger...

So in her mind the younger fighter doesn't need to do as much to win... probably one of the reasons she had Bradley over Pacquiao too...

Pretty idiotic... seems like she was a Quota hire...they wanted to bring more women judges into the fold...

Affirmative Action aka Quota hirings lead to bs like this...

I had Mayweather like 10-2 same score I had for Pac-Bradley 1 and 2

CJ Ross was never fit to be a boxing judge and this statement in support of her decision in the Mayweather vs Saul Canelo Alvarez fight is proof of it. If Floyd did not win 12 out of 12 rounds in that fight, then he won 11 out of 12. Canelo was outclassed in every aspect, and his effort (or lack of effort) was an embarrassment. Even before the fight took place, I knew that Floyd would be the winner, but for Alvarez to be so thoroughly uncompetitive throughout the fight was a surprise to me, and it appeared that Alvarez was unwilling to even make an attempt to win (unlike Maidana in his two fights vs Floyd); instead, Alvarez put forth less effort that a serious practitioner would make in a sparring session. For his lack of skill and effort, Canelo Alvarez should not only have been made to forfeit his share of the purse, but he also should have been banned from boxing until a thorough investigation of every aspect of the fight was completed. In my opinion, on the night of 9-14-2013 either Saul Canelo Alvarez was not a physically fit opponent for Floyd Mayweather or else the fix was in on that match; it was and is the template for the destruction of prizefighting.

CJ Ross would have had Cotto winning against Pacquiao at the time he was TKOed in the 12th..that's the type of judge she is...

It was about as clear a draw as Martinez vs Williams II was.

There is literally only 2 possible explanations as to how she scored it a draw; she's either corrupt or grossly incompetent. Either way, the sport is better off without her/it....

What annoys me is the fact that boxers put their life on the line every time they get in the ring; they dedicate their lives to perfecting perhaps the most demanding of sports and make it their livelihood. For a corrupt/incompetent idiot to just disregard all that and score a fight by rolling their face on a scorecard is inexcusable and she deserves to have been so publicly berated.

Floyd Pacducker has been given a few gifts. This was NOT one of them. CJ Ross needs to be standing next to Rob Arum when that lightning bolt hits and the Grim Reaper finally gets off his ass and does his job

Someone needs to visit a desalination plant cause she salty!! I bet she got mad when she saw Levi Martinez get away with it, and gained the stones to say this bull****.

She's just inadvertently revealed a fetish for young bucks from the barrio.

Maybe she's one of those bored privileged women who like getting down and dirty with a 'bit of rough'.

Making a vampiric swoop from her comfortable bored existence to replenish her waning libidinal energies with some intimate contact from the full-bloodied life of the poor.

Vitality restored, she then heads back to her impotent wealthy husband and her mind numbingly tedious dinner guests.

oh just stop trying to find ways not to give mayweather credit for making canelo look the way he did your trying way to hard

The media/fans stands firm: You are wrong.

With that said, it was not the wipe out or schooling people make it out to be either. Mayweather used a lot of defense and jabs, while Canelo could not touch him or get anything off. But I didn't see a lot of good, power punches from Floyd. But he won because Canelo didn't land jabs or power punches at all.

I know there's gif's around of Floyd tagging Canelo with rights but seeing the actual 12 round fight, it was like a low scoring Soccer game.

lol ya u know its bad when the most hated fighter in the world wins the fight and people still dont take her side in anyway on the score card lol its u honey
