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

[True That]

moretti got wined and dined in that one..the only judge that had it the best was John McKaie 117-111...i watched it twice and had 116-112 for nelo. the mayweather score i have no comment..LOL

Lol yeah for the Cotto fight, 119-109 and 118-110 was ridiculous.

And the Mayweather fight, well 116-112 was too close of a score and that other judge that had it 114-114, good lord that was one of the worst if not the worst scorecard to be turned in. SMH

Hmmm. With these judges when GGG wins 9/10 rounds he will only be given a MD just as they did with Mayweather when he whooped Canelo.

Funny that NO ONE was concerned when Jacobs was in the ring with lil g......Jacobs beat this dude already.

moretti smh

canelo has had 6 fights in vegas since 2013, out of those 6 moretti has judged 5 of them. he gave canelo 4 rounds v sfloyd and had cotto canelo 10-2

Golovkin just got the decision against Jacobs , in Jacob's home town.

No excuses. Both fighter's are in their prime both are on a great wave of victories. Let the best man win by KO or Decision.

This is the only part of your post that's non sense. There's no #1P4P status at stake here. Ward holds that position comfortably and his body of work is uncontested. Beating the #2 guy makes you the #2 guy not #1. A win against Canelo does little for GGG P4P status.

Where's the article where there was a big immigration of Irish into Mexico?

Wikipedia - have a look, its interesting. Canelo's full name is Santos Saul Alvarez Barragan, and Berrigan is a common anglicised name derived from the Gaelic O Beirgin or O Meirgin.

It lists a number of better known 'Irish Mexicans', and includes Canelo in the list.

Can also read up on the history of Los Son Patricos or Los Colorados.

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).

That's what I've been saying all along. This fight has MD or SD written all over it. One judge is definitely going to favor the other boxer.

116-112 for Canelo-Mayweather is ******ed

And so was 119-109 for the Canelo-Cotto fight

The only big fight of Canelo's he did well in scoring was the Canelo-Lara fight.

[Shadoww702]

first time i saw the fight i had 7-5 canelo, second time i had 6-6..lara shouldve done a bit more but there were a few swing rounds. close fight i didnt have a problem with 2 of the judges scores except for that Levi Martinez 117-111 for canelo....wined n dined judge right there
