Which is the more reasonable score for Floyd vs Canelo

Floyd won 12 - 0. Cavelike couldn't hit him in the ass with a broomstick.

 

I generously gave Canelo 2 rounds. That's the maximum I think.

 

Cool story bro .

 

119-109 is unacceptable. 120-108 is sheer madness. Anyone who seriously thinks that Floyd won every single round has got to be out their freakin mind. The majority of the rounds were very even and you really had to split hairs to decide a winner. This was not an easy fight to score. 117-111 is really stretching it.

 

118-110

Good lesson for young Canelo

 

Floyd 9-3 or 8-4 if you are a Mexican lol

 

I'm not crying about 119-109. That wasn't one of the judges scores. The judges scores were 114-114, 116-112, and 117-111. I found those scores acceptable. 115-113 or 116-112 make the most sense to me. 114-114 or 117-111 is stretching it, but still acceptable. 118-110 or 115-113 Canelo, that's really stretching it. 119-109 or 116-112 Canelo would be unacceptable. Floyd won a handful of rounds decisively. Canelo maybe won 1 or 2 rounds decisively. The rest of the rounds were extremely even, where it pretty much comes down to subjectively who you preferred. To just give all the close rounds to Floyd or say he won every round is unacceptable. That's lazy, incredibly biased scoring.

I accept your score of 117-111 about as much as I accept 114-114. Those are OK with me, anything further than that just doesn't seem reasonable. I do not object to Floyd winning the fight, what I object to is those hugely exaggerating the margin of Floyd's win. There is nothing wrong with my accepting of the official judges. That's my stance and if someone wants to argue that the official scores are wrong or too close the burden is on them to explain it.

 

You have to score the fight round by round. Moretti and Ross scored 10 of the 12 rounds identically. Two rounds Ross gave to Canelo that Moretti gave to Floyd. That's the differece between a generally accepted score and a not acceptable score. If you want to evaluate how inept it is, then you have to go back and rewatch those two rounds and decide how close those rounds were. I am not the only one to state that the fight was competitive. I'm not endorsing CJ Ross's card, I'm just not objecting to it like the majority has. It shouldn't have caused any outrage. I know what I saw, and I saw a close fight, a fight that I fully expected Floyd to win for obvious reasons, but a close fight nonetheless. I mean Floyd hadn't had a close fight in years up until that point. So we were so conditioned to Floyd winning nearly every round fans went into the fight expecting that to happen vs Canelo. Only that didn't happen, so the public imagined Floyd winning rounds when he really wasn't. The rounds actually were so close that it depended on who's work you preferred.

 

My goodness.
