人们热烈期待的戈洛夫金VS阿瓦雷兹这场中量级大战并没有产生明确的赢家，裁判打分分别是115-113戈洛夫金获胜，114打平，裁判伯德给出了118-110阿瓦雷兹获胜。
伯德的打分引起了很多的质疑声和愤怒，内华达体委主任班内特告诉洛杉矶时报：“我们不会让她再回来，她还会继续干这行，但她需要休息一段时间。她是我们训练出来的裁判，但不幸的是她做得不好，给出的分差太大”。
即使是阿瓦雷兹的推广人霍压，也没有对打分裁判伯德做过多的掩饰，他说；“每个人都可以有自己的观点，这是一场真正的大战，我也不明白为什么是118-110，但伯德是一个很称职的裁判，，，，118-110是很令人震惊的。”
去年11月，科瓦列夫在与沃德的比赛中点数败北，很多人认为科瓦列夫实际上赢了。复赛中按科瓦列夫的说法，沃德的几次抵打迫使裁判停止了比赛，比赛结束后他对裁判也很不满意。
科瓦列夫说；“这是一个真正的问题，但没有解决办法。戈洛夫金很清晰的赢得了比赛，但它既然是发生在拉斯维加斯，这个结果也就没什么可令人惊讶的了。现在拳击已经不是一项运行，已经变成了纯粹的商业。我相信，在拉斯维加斯很难分出谁是这个级别中最优秀的了”。
Sergey Kovalev: Las Vegas Does it Again, Golovkin Beat Canelo!
Gennady Golovkin was shaking his head over the outcome of his bout with Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez - which was scored as a split draw - an outcome that has seen the judge responsible stood down by the Nevada Athletic Commission.
The eagerly anticipated middleweight showdown in Las Vegas failed to produce a clear winner, judge Adalaide Byrd drawing widespread criticism for scoring the bout 118-110 in favour of challenger Canelo.
Dave Moretti gave it 115-113 to WBA, WBC, IBF and IBO middleweight champion Golovkin, while Don Trella had it as a 114-114 draw.

The result prompted disbelief and anger from expert observers and armchair critics alike, and has left Byrd's top-level judging career in doubt.
"I'm not going to put her right back in," Nevada Athletic Commission executive director Bob Bennett was quoted as telling the Los Angeles Times.
"She'll still be in the business… but she needs to catch her breath. 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."
Even Canelo's promoter Oscar De La Hoya did not attempt to conceal his bemusement at Byrd's interpretation.
"These guys fought their heart out," he said. "Gennady is a tremendous, tremendous champion and Canelo's a tremendous, tremendous champion. Everybody has their opinion but that's what made it such a great, great fight. The 118-110, I don't understand, I really don't. Byrd is a very competent judge but I just don't understand 118-110... 118-110 is a shocker."
Former IBF, WBA, WBO light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev is no stranger to controversy in Las Vegas.
Last November in the famous Nevada city, Kovalev was on the losing end of a twelve round unanimous decision with Andre Ward. There were many who felt Kovalev had done enough to win.
Kovalev exercised a rematch clause. The second fight took place in June, also in Las Vegas, and saw Ward stop Kovalev in eight rounds.
According to Kovalev, in the closing sequence that forced the referee to stop the fight - the Russian boxer claims he was hit with several low bows that forced him to sit on the ropes. He was very unhappy with the referee in the aftermath of the bout.
Kovalev watched the fight from Saturday night and felt there was no question that Golovkin won.
"This is a real problem and there is no solution. Golovkin won this fight clearly. It took place in Las Vegas and there is nothing to be surprised about [in terms of the outcome]. It's not a sport anymore, it's pure business. I'm convinced that it's impossible to find out in Las Vegas who is really the best in their weight class," Kovalev stated. |
