Comments Thread For: Canelo-Golovkin: Nevada Commission Approves Judges, Referee

[angkag]

If I had to guess:

Golovkins choice: Trella
Canelo's choice: Moretti
Compromise: Byrd

In general, it looks like a reasonable choice of judges in terms of past performance, the one exception being Moretti's scorecard of 119-109 for Canelo over Cotto. I'ts not a given from that one card that Moretti will score more for Canelo than the other two though based on other cards he has put in. I only had a quick look at past experience with these judges, so its not comprehensive, but:

Moretti
119-109 Canelo over Cotto
115-113 Canelo over Lara
- given how close this fight was, 115-113 isn't unreasonable
116-112 Canelo/Mayweather
- one could argue Mayweather won by a larger margin than that, so maybe favoured Canelo again
120-108 Canelo over JCC Jr
- same as other 2 judges, no surprises there


Overall seems Moretti either like Canelo's style or favours him (which might be the same thing). Odds-on he scores more for Canelo than the other two judges do (hello SD or MD)

Trella
115-112 for Golovkin over Jacobs
- whatever one thinks of the fight, this is how a lot of people saw it, so looks to be reasonable
- had Golovkin 20-17 over Geale, no shocker there.

Byrd
- was a judge for Wade/Golovkin, fight ended round 2 so doesn't matter
- had it 50-43 for Golovkin vs Monroe (1 other judge same, one had it 49-44), no shocker
- had 120-108 for Canelo v JCC, ie got it right
- had Khan up by 1 point vs Canelo, kind of suggests not one to give Canelo rounds just because he's Canelo

I'm guessing Moretti scores it for Canelo and the other two get it right (and if right means Canelo, then Canelo gets a UD, else Golovkin gets a MD if its close). Unless its one-sided and even Moretti can't screw it up (either way).

Boxing wins big with Canelo and GGG two great white fighters slugging it out on PPV for the fans that matter. No matter who wins the fight boxing wins large. Commie vs the white mex is a great fight. Canelo's dad was a white American tourist who got drunk on vacation and hooked up with Canelo's mother.

Haha. Nah there was a big immigration of irish into mexico at one point. If you go through mexico and mingle with the locals youll see that canelos look isnt all that rare. No matter what dlh says otherwise. I cant remember the name of the place but theres also a place where the chinese etc went just below the us mex border when the u.s. government was putting them into prison camps in early 1900's.

Kenny Bayless is the best in the business.

Both are prime? One is a 35 year old pressure fighter. Nobody tops Ward with a victory here.

Yes Golovkin is in his prime. No not just a pressure fighter, he's got a great amateur pedigree , he won an Olympic Silver Medal as well. CANELO tops Ward with a victory. Even Ward said it himself.

No Judges or Ref. needed for this fight.

#1P4P SAUL ALVAREZ CANELO by Epic KO!

Too much too soon for the protected "good boy" Gennady. Fighting in the Bum Bracket will not prepare you for the 2 Headed Monster your about to face. Luck will not be enough Gennady.

VIVA EL IMPERIO MEXICANO!

I hope thats ultimately is correct, but usually when two top guys fight it goes to a decision so I'm hoping if thats the case it ends up going to the right guy....although I did bet on this fight knowing that Canelo had two ways to win, legitly or with the help of the judges lol so I'm hoping for one thing while playing the other the thing cuz I know how boxing works after all this time.

Didn't Keith Idec have Jacobs beating Golovkin? Which staff writer from Boxing scene wrote the article where they had Jacobs edging it out?! ,

POINT IS, Why Isn't Don Trella mentioned in the article? He had 115-112 for Golovkin. Judges Levi Martinez, CJ. Ross, cut the bullshıt...either insinuate that these new judges have proven history to favor Alvarez on a high margin, aside from JCC Jr., or STFU.

what's the point of this article?

[Deletrious]

Byrd was the only judge to correctly have Khan winning, so I don't see her as biased.

Moretti didn't have the crazy extreme cards in favor of Canelo in his fight with Mayweather or Lara. Both of his cards were defensible. The Cotto card seems pretty biased however.

Don Trella had Golovkin winning close against Jacobs, as all the judges did. Doen't think he's done Canelo.

Over all I have no complaints.

If goes to card could definitely have a split/majority decision with Moretti giving 2 more rounds to Canelo than anyone else.

Pretty much my thoughts but more detailed, great post.

stfu, the ginger gene revolves the around and Asia before ''any Irish'' of its own country was around. Where's the article where there was a big immigration of Irish into Mexico? All The Alvarez brothers look alike. Travel around the world, you'll see siblings of older races than the mixture of the americas where siblings can differ drastically in color from hair to skin.
