    I'm cool with the 114-114 card. That's where I'd have had it.

    Is there any kind of audit system for obviously shitty judges like Adalaide Byrd?

    So I think that was corrupt and/or bullshit, but even so...why score it 118-110? Why not tone it down a bit so you don't look absurd. doesn't 115-113 accomplish the same thing?

    No it's the same shit rolled out year after year. All judges know the house boy and they won't get jobs if they score against the house boy.

    Had a few bills on Golovkin, scored it 114-114.

    In my humble opinion...
    Canelo clearly won 2, 3, 10, 11.
    Ggg clearly won 1, 4, 5, 6
    You could debate 7-9, 12

    I think you misunderstood my point. I'm not defending her at all. She's a garbage judge (in boxing and MMA) who is absolutely biased, but she's not worrying about whether a 115-113 would look better.

    Atlas basically saying these judges are being "paid off" Saying they may not be getting money, but the judges know the promoters pick the judges, and if they dont say score the fight the way the promoters want it, they wont get more fights
