Comments Thread For: Arum: This is What They Get For Letting Byrd Do Canelo-Golovkin!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum shook his head when Adalaide Byrd was assigned as one of the three official judges for last Saturday's middleweight mega-bout between Gennady Golovkin and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez - which took place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Byrd, and the Nevada State Athletic Commission, is under heavy fire - after Byrd scored the contest 118-110 in favor of Canelo, while the other two official judges had it 115-113 Golovkin and 114-114 for the draw.

Why? Arum doesn't agree with them. He says she's just a bad judge. That's not good enough for Golovkin fans they need a conspiracy.

Since when has it been that byrd is some terrible ref before this fight? Every ref has bad cards

[LOCOMEX89]

So can promoters pick and choose the judges or refs for there bouts? Or does the commission tell them who are assigned whether they like it or not?

Because if the promoters have there hands tied behind there backs then the Nevada State Athletic Commission needs to be put under full investigation. I just don't think it's possible with no checks and balances in the sport.

Arum better hope her husband Robert doesn't ref any of his fighters fights.

At the end of the day who gives a damn about that judge We all know who won the fight, those of us who watched it can tell who clearly won the fight whether it was close or not.

Golovkin fans are the worst of the worst. They think just because someone scored a fight differently from them that person should lose his or her job. we all got bills to pay too dammit.

I don't know why they so mad anyway, wasn't he suppose to kill Canelo or something like that?

Canelo won in my eyes and I betted on GGG.
