    MANY OTHER SMALLER FIGHTS. IF I WAS A PRO FIGHTER, NO F@#king way do I fight in Las Vegas. Totally corrupt. Why do you think Mayweather only fights there at home and a nonfighter got a licence? I would for Canelo to leave the Mexico Las Vegas area and travel like all greats (Duran, Arguello, Pedroza, Pintor, Cervantes, Monzon, Galindez, Gomez Japanese fighters, Thai fighters, European fighters, African fighters, South American fighters and fight near Kazakhstan. He is born without fear so why not. The crowds in Europe dwarf the crowds in America.

    The only thing draw about the affair was it was a big crowd draw.

    The fight had a winner and a loser, and the sport lost a little bit too.

    I don't doubt that for a second.

    She should have her licence revoked

    Quit being emotional and be a man more than a fanatic. Not even Golovkin is as mad as you suburban keyboard thugs are. You can't blame a whole city for boxings ****ery, the money maker always wins unless you KO the money maker and you know that. Quit acting brand new and get some coochie and be easy. Its entertainment.

    Tonight was the night for boxing to shine. And it could have. It was a good fight. Between two great fighters.

    And then the judges took center stage. When I heard 118-110, it could only be Golovkin. You CAN make a case for 10-2 Golovkin. I didn't have it THAT wide, but I can see that. You cannot, in any way, make an argument for 10-2 Canelo.

    I fully expected a Canelo win if it went to the scorecards via Golden Boy. A controversial robbery. He didn't get the win, but this felt even more fixed than that. A very sad night for boxing.

    Hats off to Gennady for being diplomatic. Another blemish for boxing.

    I brought out another tv to put on UFC for some of my guests. That card was on FS1 and free, and it was excellent.

    Again, sad night for boxing. I want to be done with the sport, to be honest. 118-110 should live in infamy. What an embarrassment.

    I'm pretty sure I will never never pay for another high profile fight again that she is the judge. Fighters alter fights. Refs for better or worse alter fights. A "judge" like this alters fights that a normal judge would not.

    And that's the problem. She still has a job and obviously, according to golden boy, she does fine work.

    I'm guessing it's been hanging proudly on Ray Leonard's wall the last 30 years.
    Oscar De La Hoya must have borrowed it for the occasion. Changed the names and slipped it to Adelaide Byrd,
    "Use this one, trust me, no one will notice."

    118-110, that timeless classic.

    Bennett, who assigned Byrd to the fight, was asked whether he would hesitate to use her again and he answered, “no.” “She’ll come back swinging and hit the ball out of the park,” he said.

    118-112 couldn't be justified in a month of sundays !

    Either grossly incompetent or corrupt

    Either way it's an instant dismissal
