Adaliade Byrd Judging Again

[Bacchus8888]

Tonight (April 20) - a main event no less
She shouldn’t be allowed to judge pre-k pie eating contest - let alone any boxing match

[armageto]

Agree, this b@tch needs to go away!

..she fits the system perfectly, so why not..

Maybe she could be pressured into resigning like that other female judge CJ Ross who botched the score on Mayweather-Canelo:

http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow ... story.html

C.J. Ross, the Nevada boxing judge heavily ridiculed for turning in her second suspect scorecard in 15 months by scoring Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s dominant performance Saturday over Saul “Canelo” Alvarez as a draw, has effectively resigned, according to reports.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal and television station KLAS reported Tuesday that Ross has told the Nevada State Athletic Commission she is stepping down indefinitely.

As I always opine, there seems to be quite a bit of vitriol directed at Ms. Byrd based on her gender.

Male judges never seen to arouse the same negative passion.

I don't even understand what this sudden outcry is about.

She was judging boxing matches a month after Canelo-Golovkin and has worked 14 cards since then.

Ancient news.

If she'd have scored 115-113 to Canelo, you'd have a point. That 118-110 card was inexcusable though. Any professional judge arriving at that conclusion, is clearly unfit for the job. It wasn't the easiest fight to score, but it wasn't difficult either.

Byrd has had a number of high profile blunders. The 118-110 was just the one that made people go 'what the actual fùck...'

Picture this: An Olympic diver slips on the board and belly flops into the pool. One of the judges poolside awards a 9. Is that judge competent enough to continue in that role? That's not a million miles away from that Byrd card.

For balance, I have also massively criticised Don Trella, for scoring Golovkin's best round of the whole fight to Canelo. He should have been suspended too.

I've seen a total of one fight Byrd has judged, since her return (Mora vs Angulo). She got that one horribly wrong too. Fortunately, it didn't affect the result. The other two judges (rightly) only gave Angulo 2 of the 8 rounds.

She's a fuckin riot and has no business still being involved in the sport! Just shows how much of a fuckin clique it is that she's still on the fuckin payroll! Shambolic!

The sooner these idiot officials are held accountable and made to explain their scoring/decisions publicly the better! Won't fuckin happen though. The silence suits the corrupt cùnts behind the scenes. IMO some of Byrds cards have been beyond incompetence.

Wrong - don’t think it’s because she’s a female - Julie Lederman was the only judge who scored the Broner match for Broner 115-113 whilst the other judges had it a draw - but she’s a good judge - and that score was in the realm of possibility - but Byrd’s scores just show that she has predisposition to (be it unconscious or conscious) to
scoring a fight for one fighter and/or against another fighter.

You would think that out of the millions of fight enthusiasts to chose from to score a fight That they would not have to go to such a horrible scorer with a checkered past

[jamamb]

byrd had an awful card in a big heavily hyped ppv fght. of course shes gonna get bad attention. she nearly had a shutout to canelo ffs. all eyes were on that fight and 10-2 was way out of line with the consensus

wth that combo of being so wide in such a big fght its only expected regardless of being a woman

[Wales]

Didn’t she once score an MMA fight horribly wrong like 30-27 with the other two judges, everyone in attendance and everyone around the world watching on TV scoring it a clear 27-30. Sure she got binned from MMA for that one. It’s also often mentioned in articles that are entitled “top 5 worst MMA judging decisions” or equivalent.

Don’t always agree with how the judges see it, but 118-110 was beyond shocking

Honestly the worst card I have seen.
I had Floyd up 10-2 and that was being generous to Canelo.
No one could honestly score that fight for Canelo. Especially that wide.
Criminal card

[jamamb]

that was cj ross who had floyd vs canelo a draw. she also had bradley beating pac.

[Ilya Muromets]

Too true. Mafia Vegas nuff said. She never stopped judging, if you want to call doing what she does judging.

My apologies you are correct

Yes you do don't you. You seem to have a thing about sexism but as others have pointed out it's nothing to do with gender, it's to do with competence, but it appears it's only we fans that are concerned about that sort of thing.

[jamamb]

its funny because i remember a lot of ppl going off on byrd, at first thinking it was a guy and refering to her as he/him

Maybe she’s a good judge but keeps forgetting which fighter is which? Would explain a lot

[Exoddus]

She does what's shes told. Nothing else matters.

[Thomastearns]

She's responsible for the most idiotic scorecard of the last 2 decades. So she's either massively incompetent or massively corrupt.

All over the world people work hard to earn a living and she's getting paid to be a referee?

How can this crap happen?

Isn't America supposed to be the leading Western meritocracy - no class system, no landed gentry, and no royal family (with the possible exception of the Kardashians and the Kennedys).

[Heretic]

Boxing is still shooting itself in the foot here

[ClivePatrickLyons]

WELL WELL WELL CANELO WILL BE BACK DOING HIS SH.T SOON TOO WHO CARES LET HER CHEAT TAKE BRIBES ALL SHE WANTS its part of the game

[candyslim]

I suspect you may have hit the nail squarely on the head there, Exoddus. Why else would anyone continue to employ someone whose "ability" is so universally reviled?

[Bacchus8888]

Oddly enough her husband is one of the better refs in the biz
