Nevada commission appointed Steve Weisfeld, Glenn Fledman and Dave Moretti to judge Canelo-GGG 2. I talked to both camps and they have no issues and are happy with the panel. In my view, these judges are among the elite in the world. It is an excellent... https://t.co/qDTleuhIIw

Nevada commission director Bob Bennett recommends Benjy Esteves to avoid any controversy because Robert Byrd, though an outstanding referee, he is married to Adalaide Byrd, whose horrendous scorecard caused so much controversy in the first Canelo-GGG fight.

"Judge Adalaide Byrd’s scorecard was widely criticized following that competitive bout because she scored 10 of the 12 rounds for Alvarez (118-110)."

Ohhh man, it's still ridiculous reading that almost a year after watching it live. What a joke of a scorecard.

I do like Benjy Esteves. Steve Smoger or Steve Willis would have been better. Both really let the fighters fight it out, but Benjy is good too.

Wonder which ones getting paid off this time. Ggg needs to knock this mother****er OUT.

Lol already tailor made excuse for the haters. If Canelo KOs GGG it will be because of steriods right? Lol too sad.

I'll never forget how Weeks ended the 2nd Kovalev fight. That was just wrong. Ward would probably have won anyway after his below belt assault distracted Kovalev to a (admittedly) perfectly timed jab/overhand right - but damn!! ----- he should have at least warned Ward, given Kov seconds to recover and then, if it was going to happen, let Ward finish him off. Waving it off without a count denied Ward some glory. I've seen Weeks do other dubious stuff too.
Byrd as a referee is dodgy for me too.

The 4 officials now in place should do a good job so lets see whats up on the night.

Weeks is terrible.

On paper these appointments look good.

Dave Moretti is going to score it for Canelo. No matter what.

[PoserExposer]

Byrd, Estévez, Moretti, Carrot Top, Trump, it won’t matter who’s assigned if either KO’s the other. That’s the best method to rule out the controversy.

the ref should've been Steve Smoger. fight to the death. no breaks no stoppage.
