    There was nothing wrong with any of those decisions.

    Some of the scorecards were a bit off - the worst being the Mayweather even score.

    The Lara fight was 7-5 either way or a draw.

    Canelo clearly beat Trout and Cotto. He outboxed both of them.

    I can't even get mad at the judges last night because I was struggling to give Cotto rounds and stopped scoring. Every time I thought I was going to give Cotto a sympathy round, Canelo would do just that little bit more.

      It is a major issue because even if cotto truly did win, he would have got robbed. If cotto won 8 rounds they would have only given him four, that's the way those scores were designed. It appears the only way to beat him is to clearly beat him like Floyd, or ko him. Otherwise, even if he only wins four rounds, he will get the decision.

        You would imagine judges with combined 100s of world title fights could see past that.

          They were all close fights and Canelo got WAY favourable cards in all fights.

            The judge that only gave cotto 1 round scored Floyd Canelo 8-4. Judges need to be put on blast more. Cj Ross hasn't even scored a fight since Floyd Canelo lol

              I didn't think last night was particularly close. Canelo was the superior boxer in almost every round.

              He outboxed Trout and knocked him down so I didn't think that was all that close either. Maybe 8-4 or 7-5.

                Yeah that's something I agree with, experienced judges like that shouldn't be swayed by crowds easily, if that's the case then that's an embarrassment, especially when fans like ourselves can see past it.

                I doubt that's the case though, at the end of the day you can only assume they had some sort of bias to score a fight like that, what reason they have to be bias is something none of us know.

                  Closer than 10-2 and 11-1 for sure!

                  I don't think he outboxed trout at all. I remember being quite shocked at how bad the scoring was. I haven't watched it back since, but I remember it being shady as hell.

                    The man can't be beaten on the scorecards even if he loses the fight, not now that Floyd has retired

                    Canelo has an amazing run of fighters on his resume, but the fact 3 of his biggest fights were either way fights, it makes Canelo lose a lot of shine
                    My thoughts exactly.

                    Trout & Lara have every right to feel that they won that fight.

                      i had Canelo

                      Beating Lara 115-113

                      Beating trout 115-112

                      Lost to floyd 118-110- the draw scorecard was one of the worst I have ever seen

                      Beat Cotto 118-110---- cotto clearly won 2 rds, and there was 2 others that were swing and and I could see a 116-112 scorecard.. But canelo clearly won
