Byrd is either completely incompetent or corrupt, she shouldn't be allowed to judge again at any level. there is no way you can see fights the way she does without being either incompetent or corrupt.
This is why I don't value your opinion at all. Watch the fight again and read what I underlined. Rounds 4 and 5 were about as clear as you can possibly get. But please, break down every single millisecond of that round and tell me how you "can see Canelo edging it". Come on dude. You are trying to be overly technical in this breakdown and then use your novel to act like I am wrong since I don't type a novel in return. I am not going to argue with you over every single round because I can do the exact same to you and flip every round and say "well.....I can see Golovkin getting it". Round 2 was clear as day for Canelo, but I could also be a neophyte and type a paragraph saying how Golovkin won it if I want to be contrarian.
Just the other day you said you respected my opinion, now you're saying you don't value my opinion at all lol. Rounds 4 and 5 were not clear at all. I gave Round 4 to Canelo and I gave Round 5 to Golovkin only because of how Golovkin did in the final minute starting with that big right hand. In round 5 Canelo was getting the better of Golovkin for the first two minute. In round 5 HBO's live punch stats had Canelo outlanding Golovkin by 4-5 punches. Round 4 was certainly closer than Rounds 1-3. It was the first round that Golovkin may have won, but it was very very close. Rounds 4 and 5 I've stated repeatedly were essentially toss-up rounds. The reasons why Golovkin won round 4 is because he did better in that round that he did in the first 3 rounds. The judges were looking for a round to give to Golovkin and Golovkin did better and they all gave him that 4th round. But in no way was that clear. I don't need to break down every millisecond of round 4 and 5 to prove that they were close. Any reasonable boxing fan can see how close those rounds were. Only a completely biased Golovkin fanboy can watch Rounds 4 and 5 and say those were "as clear as you can possibly get". That's a huge exaggeration! That said, Golovkin did well enough in those rounds for you to give Golovkin the 4th and the 5th rounds. I gave Canelo the 4th just barely. It was truly a toss-up round. The 5th, I gave to Golovkin for that big right hand and his work in the final minute. But Canelo was clearly winning the first 1:30-1:50 of that round. Round 2 was more clearly a Canelo round than Rounds 4 and 5 were a Golovkin round. Round 3 was maybe a little closer than round 2, and round 4 as closer than rounds 2 and 3. Every round Golovkin was getting more into the fight. Golovkin started slow (rounds 1 and 2) and every round he started doing better in. A little better in 3, even better in 4, then in Round 5 he changed the fight with the right hand.
Pointless arguing with this fanboy. I skip over his posts now because they are so full of bs. This guy also defended the 114-114 Floyd-Canelo card....
You can live in your Golovkin fantasy world all you want. You're calling me a fanboy for thinking what was obviously a close fight was close, yet you're belief is that it's so obvious that Golovkin won. I'm being objective and having an intelligent discussion about how clsoe the fight was. You're in your own little Golovkin fantasy land who refuses to admit it was close. Who's the fanboy now? Fanboys are so biased in their love of their favorite fighter they can't score a fight objectively. I fully admit that it was close and could be scored for either fighter. And I never defenderd Ross's 114-114 card in Floyd Canelo. I thought Floyd won the fight, however I stated that it wasn't a 12-0 Floyd shutout like many have argued, that rounds like 2,3,4,10 and 12 for example were good rounds for Canelo.
I'm not sure why I have wasted my time as it is pointless. It's funny that he doesn't even remember it was CJ Ross and not Adelaide Byrd who scored the Canelo-Floyd fight even. Not to mention he just said round 4 was a good one for Canelo......what? I just watched that round and he was completely outclassed lol.
Typo I meant Ross's obviously. I thought Round 4 was very even I'll watch it again when I have a chance. Regardless nothing wrong with giving that round to Golovkin.
GGG/Mayweather.... Doesn't matter which fight really... He can make a case for Canelo winning any round he chooses in any fight...
lol we were discussing rounds 4 and 5 of Canelo Golovkin and guy brought up that I defended the 114-114 Floyd Canelo score, so understandable confusion, but Round 4 of Floyd Canelo was one of the rounds that I gave to Canelo. (rounds 2,3,4,10&12 were possible Canelo rounds vs Floyd - round 6 of Floyd Canelo was so even I had it 10-10) FYI though all 3 judges gave round 4 to Floyd, punch stats in that 4th round were identical (14/38 37% for both fighters) with Canelo landing 2 more power punches than Floyd. Now you're just being silly.
I'm aware what the punch stats say. The round however featured Mayweather blocking most of Canelo's shots to the body. Canelo was countered heavily, numerous times that round. That was a clear Mayweather round. The judges all scored it for Mayweather, even the idiot CJ Ross. I'm not sure I can find someone who gave it to Canelo.
I applaud you for re-watching that round and taking a look at it. You know a while back I did a full punch summary of every round in Floyd Canelo so if you want I could post it. From what I remember, it was one of the better rounds in the bout. For you to say that Floyd outclassed him in that round as the reason he won it is sort of an admission that Canelo was landing and doing well. Your definition of clear is much different than mine, and with identical punch stats, I don't think it's a stretch to say it was close, but I will have another look at the round and my punch summary.
You're generalizing and have misrepresented the round. Thank goodness I'm here. Mayweather was not countering Canelo heavily, in fact Mayweather's best punches of the round were not counter punches at all. The better harder cleaner counter punches in this round were from Canelo. Watching this round again leaves no doubt that Canelo won this round. And I'll explain why. Pay attention to the interval that starts with 1:20 left in the round. Canelo pretty much dominated Mayweather from this point on until the last punch of the round which was a Mayweather right hand through the guard with 11 seconds left. The work Canelo put in over the 2nd half of the round was outstanding. It wasn't just landing big punches, it was blocking and avoiding almost all of Mayweather's punches. I have a full punch summary of the round if you're interested or try to deny what happened in the 2nd half of the round. The first half of the round was pretty even, we can go over what happened there too.
That is exactly correct, you could not have described her judging any more accurately. Here's some of my posts on her BEFORE the Canelo-GGG fight:
