    Seriously, how do these people become judges?

    In some cases they marry judges.

    Byrd has also been a terrible judge in MMA.

    Never leave it in the hands of the judges I guess. Or at least when Byrd is a judge.

    Boxing is fixed. That's why it will never be as popular as UFC in the future.

    Sorry but that was a GREAT fight. I'm not disappointed with a draw. Neither of those guys deserved the L.

    It was a great fight. I can't wait to watch again. I'll probably do a second viewing just to enjoy how good it was, and then a third viewing to get technical and try to get a legit score. I thought GGG had it by a slim but noticeably margin. I think he took at least 7/12 rounds and that is on the conservative side. Great fight though. We will see a rematch.

    Good camera work.

    No way to interpret that woman judge's scoring other than "the fix is in!"

    I've never liked a sport that has judges decide the outcome.

    No knockouts should be an automatic draw.

    Adalaide Byrd has been demoted due to her contreversal scoring of the GGG\Alvarez fight. She has been stepped down and will not judge boxing matches for the time being.

    They fired her because she is a woman.

    If it was a man they wouldn't have been fired.

    Assholes.
