    How much did the Byrd scorecard damage your enjoyment of the fight?

    Like lets say the Byrd scorecard was 7-5 Canelo or 6-6 even & the fight was still a draw how much would that have altered your opinion about this fight vs the 10-2 Canelo card she turned in?

    Been hearing a lot of podcasts that see the draw + 3 way split decision as a reasonable outcome to this fight, but that scorecard as their biggest problem in an overall fun & entertaining fight.

    The scorecard annoyed the f.uck out of me

    Even if Byrd scored it 115-113 Canelo it wouldn't have mattered

    Gennady deserved the decision, no ands ifs or buts

    But honestly with Canelo and the f.uckery that happens with him getting every single benifit of the doubt in every fight. I guess I should come to expect it

          It just confirms for me once again that money always wins in this sport unless the financially disadvantaged fighter gets the KO.

            The fight was enjoyable regardless. Byrds card was egregious but the guy who scored it a draw was pathetic too, just not as bad.

            GGG won that fight and was robbed, but it doesn't take away from the excitement of the match. Plus I'm sure GGG doesn't mind that it was a draw, because the paycheck in the rematch will be even larger.

              Nah it didn't change my perception of the fight, which was genuinely good. If Canelo had gotten the decision though I would have been upset.

                Ruined a good fight for me, knew Canelo wouldnt lost if it went to the score cards. Most people had GGG clearly winning so the draw was bad enough, Byrd's score was criminal.

                  Not at all. Don't really care about the scorecard in relation to the enjoyment of the fight itself, it does affect the aftermath for me doe.

                    Yes the Byrd card was bad. Burt Clemens, Glen Trowbridge, John McKaie were criticized for being purchased judges in Las Vegas also. No judge made Kovalev the winner. It is very possible Byrd was not impressed with Gennady Golovkin performance. The draw is best and most reasonable. Most boxing fans should be proud of the fight.
