    I mean this is blatant corruption right? How often can the official judges see a fight so differently than everyone else? Are we all just blind or don't know how to judge a fight?

    People might not complain because the right guy won. But if they robbed Bivol, what would be the outrage? They can't reverse a decision as far as I know.

    Now that Alvarez lost maybe we get more balanced scorecards in his fights.

    An investigation needs to be done.

    Yes most people can’t score fights, that’s your answer. Judges do get it wrong sometimes but by and large it’s usually people can’t score more than judges getting it wrong.

    It's pretty clear that many judges aren't on the level and score it in a way that seems only somewhat legit.
    Pretty easy to score a fight in favor of the guy you want to win, by giving him every remotely close round.
    In this case they dropped the ball, because this wasn't an hard to score fight, and scoring 40-36 after 4 is way too blatant.

    There must really be something to judging a fight ringside & being influenced by the crowd.

    And all 3 judges scored the fight exactly the same.

    Has any fighter in history have more favorable scorecards than Alvarez?

    Those judges will soon be abducted by the Mexican Cartel for not giving It to our ginger hulk.

    Gianni Rosi in the 90's maybe?
    Even Ali doesn't come close to Alvarez when it comes to favorable scorecards.
