Official Canelo Alvarez PED & Fallout Master Thread

Huge decision for NSAC. If they punish Canelo he probably will never fight in Vegas again and that will lose them a lot of money. Plus they will get the irk of millions who want to see the fight happen.

The major casinos lost millions to gambling refunds for Canelo vs GGG I!

Thanks to the judges, "yes" I blame both!

Adelaide Byrd after as many fights as she judged, she is either incompetent or corrupt! I chose the latter! Their is an argument to be made that the fight was close, but 118-110 (in favor of Canelo) did not make justifiable sense. That scorecard, in addition to Don Trella’s 114-114 scorecard, swung a bout that was largely controlled by Golovkin into a draw, rather than the Golovkin win many pundits believed it should’ve been.

Top Rank tried removing Adalaide Byrd from scoring the Vasyl Lomachenko vs Nicholas Walters. The NAC denied the request. It wasn’t the first time Top Rank requested to have Byrd removed from one of its fights.

“We have a whole history with Adalaide Byrd, who I like very much. She’s a wonderful person, but her scorecards have been, in many cases, off the wall,” said Bob Arum, Top Rank’s promoter.

Top Rank officials weren’t pleased with Byrd’s scorecard during the Manny Pacquiao vs Jessie Vargas, which led to their request before the Lomachenko vs Walters fight.

Byrd scored it 118-110 in favor of Jessie Magdaleno over Nonito Donaire, a bout many considered to be much closer.

Another controversial Top Rank bout Byrd scored was Jose Benavidez against Francisco Santana. Byrd had it 100-90 in favor of Benavidez, the two other judges had it for Benavidez also but much closer.

“The complaint wasn’t that she was against us or that she was prejudiced in any way,” Arum said. “The complaint was she wasn’t a good judge, and we thought, it wasn’t appropriate to have her because we didn’t have any confidence in her ability to judge.”

Arum said he has never considered Byrd to be a competent judge.

“This is what they get,” Arum said of Saturday’s controversy. “(Bennett) had to know that she had some very questionable scorecards in the past. He had to know that because we told him.”

Arum said a big reason why his Las Vegas based company hasn’t hosted a fight in Las Vegas this year is because of the commission denying their requests.

“It’s the arrogance that they know everything,” Arum said of the NAC.

If The Nevada Athletic Commission rules against Canelo it is a message to the fighters (all fighters) but more to the boxing promoters (especially to Golden Boy) and The WBC we will no longer deal with your shenanigans!

Manny using PED's since he was TWENTY? What ****ing planet are you living on, he could barely get 3 meals a day at that age, where is he gonna get money to but PED's?

Y'all are some stupid ****ers at this point constantly name dropping Pac, we get it ASIAN'S should be boxing at that a high a level, keep exposing that ***** ass racism some more.

LOL. This about race. Victor Conte said the exact same thing. Manny has been doping since the Phillipines or at the worst, since he came to America.

Everyone knows it, you just refuse to accept it. Now apologize to me for calling me a racist.

(MODS I feel the post I've quoted warrants a ban. This is clearly flame-baiting, and should not be tolerated.)

**Sorry about the bump.**
