Mrs Adelaide Byrd should be convicted and imprisoned

[dagilechia]

Evidently she's a major trainer for new judges.

she probably teach them how to negotiate a better sum from promoters.

Women should not allowed to judge boxing fights. They are way to emotional and arent able to judge something in a cold headed equal way. Remember that woman that scored a 100 % clear lewis rd for evander?

That's a sexist remark.

You don't know enough about female judges to draw such harsh opinions.

Put it this way, if a black male judge submitted a dubious scorecard, does that mean that black males shouldn't be allowed to score fights?

What if I cited an example of a white Eastern European judge submitting a dodgy scorecard? Should we ban them also?

Its just fact.

Women are very emotional. They often have a hard time thinking right.

Are there also corrupt white eastern euro judges? Yes. But they are corrupt, they get money. They should also be banned from boxing.

Women i think like eugenia or byrd are maybe not corrupt but emotional. Eugenia maybe felt evander was a better looking man than lewis. Byrd certainly felt baby face canelo more beautiful than ggg. It may sound funny to you, but women realy think this way. When i was thin and trained hard and in good shape girls talked to me and liked to be around me. Ones i got fat, they ALL had 0 interrest in me. This is the truth, this is what happened.

It could just be they got to know you jip. Especially if you were sharing with them your wisdom about the sexes. Did you tell them you were a 'relationships expert'? - be honest now.

[candyslim]

You'd think a bent judge would score it close, more like 115-113 to not make it obvious

Well that's exactly what I thought. All Canelo needed was a one point margin in his favour, there's nothing to be gained by advertising your own corruption by waving it in people's faces. Could she have confused the identities as has been suggested?

I think a jail sentence is a little extreme, but she should never be let loose in the vicinity of a boxing scorecard ever again. Well ... maybe give her the right to appeal after serving a thirty year ban

why it is extreme? corruption and therefore setting up result of a sport even on that level should be convicted, especially if it's a sport in which people punch their heads and risk their own lifes, especially if it's a sport where people pay cash for PPV because they want to see good and FAIR AND CLEAN event. for example there are a lot of people in jail for football corruption in many european countries, why not for boxing then?

I think you have to break the law to get sent to prison.

Maybe she just craves attention? When judges do their job, nobody remembers their names, and she is trending on twitter.

Definitely a bitch.

How incompetent is this woman. I mean clearly incompetent, in really the biggest fight in boxing in years. Just makes me think that maybe she got the position because she is female. Equality shouldn't be about evening out the males/females in a profession, it should be about competence, the most competent person for the job regardless sex, race, etc.

Does anyone know of other fights shes judged as theres probably a history. End of the day though she's incompetent but I'm sure we'll see her at the next major event with no repercussions just like the ref Tony Weeks has been in several key events including May/Mc and even this as an undercard. No repercussions, no learnings, they just try to contain the social media and media outrage and rinse and repeat.

I remember ive seen often her scores to be dubious and raging incompetent. I once attended one of the fights that she judged it was Usyk-Glowacki and of course Glowacki lost (I had it 116-112, 2 judges had it 117-111) but she had it 119-109. what i want to say is that she has her cards often too wide.

[dagilechia]

she had Magdaleno-Donaire 118-110 if I remember well it was a dubious decision too as a lot of people seen Donaire won

[lazboy]

She's a joke then. She should be invesitigated. Her fights scores reviewed. But...she won't be, we'll see her name pop up again.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Even Canelo Alvarez’s promoter thinks Adalaide Byrd’s scorecard was way off.

Oscar De La Hoya acknowledged during their post-fight press conference Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena that Byrd shouldn’t have scored the Alvarez-Gennady Golovkin fight 118-110 for Alvarez. De La Hoya had Alvarez ahead by two rounds when their highly competitive middleweight title fight ended, but he understands why fans and media are outraged over Byrd scoring 10 of the 12 rounds for his promotional company’s franchise fighter.

“I was shocked,” De La Hoya said following their draw. “I’m in shock – 118-110 is a shocker.”

“I think this is probably one of the best fights we’ve seen in recent years,” he said. “These guys fought their heart out. Gennady is a tremendous, tremendous champion. And Canelo is a tremendous, tremendous champion. And everyone has their opinion, but that’s what made it such a great, great fight.

“And I do feel bad for Byrd for taking a lot of heat now – 118-110, that was pretty widespread, I have to admit. But look, this is boxing. She’s, like I said, a very competent judge and been judging for many, many years. And Las Vegas is one of the best commissions in the world, and I personally felt like boxing won today. It was a win-win-win for everyone. I think this is what the sport needed, a fight like this, with Triple-G and Canelo.”

[RScarf1]

Oscar scored it 115-113 for Canelo and he's biased. He's shocked at the 118-110 score. I'm not. I expected at least one judge to be way off the mark.

[RScarf1]

I would like to know if she received any extra compensation to come up with her blatantly biased scores. That would be illegal.

[SaadOffTheDeck]

Lol, after she cashed a GBP check.

[Best Coast]

Highly predictable damage control by Oscar.

[Blodhemn]

Browsed twitter for a few minutes last night and had a good laugh at the bluntness of some Mexican fans. One saying Byrd should be killed. Too harsh?

[Kalan]

She hates GGG and loves Mayweather... Floyd said Canelo would "absolutely KO Triple-G" so she obviously thought Canelo must be so much better. It's certainly not the only outlier score she's come up with... She had Richard Commey beating Denis Shafikov... Erick Bone beating Eddie Ramirez... Ishe Smith beating Carlos Molina etc. She's one of the worst judges I can think of, but she was an automatic pick for the Canelo team.

[ClivePatrickLyons]

And so should that Nevada Athletic Commission imbercile Bob Bennett who is defending the cheating imposter

corruption is not breaking the law?

Difficult thing to prove isn't it? Corrupt or inept? I'm not sure that scoring a fight card in a way that seems absurd to anyone who knows anything about boxing would greatly interest law enforcement.

[RScarf1]

I stated before on this forum that if GGG deserved to win and he lost on the judges' scorecards that it would adversely affect boxing and a lot of people would be outraged. Giving a future Hall of Famer like GGG his first loss undeservedly would have damaged boxing's reputation a lot in my opinion. They came so close to that with scoring the fight a draw. It seems like this was planned beforehand with having one judge for Canelo with ridiculous scoring, one judge for GGG with him barely winning, and the third judge scoring it a draw. I am not surprised at the judges' scores because Canelo has been given generous scores before. However, I am very surprised with the media and how they scored the fight such as Fight Hype who scored the fight 114-114. Maybe I should not be surprised since many in the boxing media are now shills for the promoters.

[Kalan]

Oscar is full of sssshhhheeeeett... He knew that Golovkin was way ahead, and that the specially selected judges were probably scoring it for Canelo.

[candyslim]

The spotlight is on her now so she'll be thrown to the wolves.

Win win for boxing? Black-eye more like. Smarmy lying t urd!

If evidence could be provided of payments, that would go a long way to proving it. So it wouldn't be impossible. But no, nothing could happen on the back of just a bad scorecard.

[Ossyrules]

No shock oscar scored it for Canelo

Perhaps he, Canelo and Adelaide Byrd could start a club
