Canelo-Golovkin judge to be given a rest break

By Daily Sports on September 19, 2017

The Nevada State Athletic Commission is suspending one of the judges of last Saturday night title bout between Saul Canelo Alvarez and Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin, after her decision sparked reactions among boxing followers.

Executive Director Bob Bennett says the judge will be given a “small break” for her to “catch her breath.”
The judge, Adalaide Byrd, scored the fight 10 rounds to 2 in Canelo Alvarez’s favor. Needless to say, the score was absolutely shocking, considering that Golovkin appeared to win the fight by 8 rounds to 4 against an exhausted Canelo.

“I’m not going to put her right back in,” Bennett said. “She’ll still be in the business … but she needs to catch her breath.”

Bennett didn’t say anything about wanting to give a rest break to the judge that scored it 114-114. It would seem like that judge might need a break too, being that the fight was clearly not a draw.

Canelo and Golovkin battled for a hard 12 rounds last Saturday night in their much anticipated fight on HBO PPV at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Golovkin described the judges’ scores as “terrible’ after the fight, and he wasn’t just talking about the 118-110 score by Byrd.

“Like in any profession, you have a bad night,” Bennett said. “Unfortunately, she didn’t do well. I can tell you she conducts training for us, takes judges under her wing … but her score was too wide.”(Boxingnews)
