    Seems they went off of the names above the corner color instead of the colors.

    How is this thing, the names above the scores show who the judges scored the fight for

    Pac did not win the first 3 rounds and lose the 4th.

    They just went with the names.

    Mayweather's name is above the correct column and one of the judge explicitly wrote "Mayweather wins by UD".

    Non-issue. They got the corner colors wrong and anyone with vision can see Floyd won the fight.

    That's obviously a logicial explanation but the name of the fight is "Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao"... Floyd always wanted his name first. Surely a simple thing such as the corner colour would have been checked in such a big big fight?

    :deal:deal:deal There are jokers who are saying they knew Pac won the fight after seeing this. Such gullible fans. The same people who criticized Floyd for having trouble reading.

    This isn't the card all the judges used during the fight,

    This is all the cards being written onto one.

    Pipe down motherf*ckers, I believe Floyd won the fight too...but this is a massive massive mistake on behalf of the judges, something that needs to be clarified.

    The judges didn't write on that they all had their own separate ones. This was just a mistake when they tallied up everyones cards.

    Yeah obviously this is the tallied card but even then, it's a simple thing to do and it is a massive mistake. I still think the judging committee should acknowledge the mistake to clear it up...some people are going absolutely bananas over this

    As noted, this isn't what the judges write their scores on, this is the tally of the sheets they turn in after each round.

    Note at the top it says "white," "blue" and "pink" -- each judge has a scorecard for each round that is turned in at the end of that round ... one jude has white cards, one has blue and one has pink.

    So whenever the commission generated this tally card -- upon which the round-by-round scores that the judges turn in after each round on their colored cards -- typed the name of the guy under the wrong corner ... OR whoever put the corner pads up put them in the wrong corners.
