上周六在拉斯维加斯，伯德作为三个记分裁判之一被内华达体委指派到戈洛夫金VS阿瓦雷兹赛场。
伯德给这场比赛打分118-110，阿瓦雷兹击败戈洛夫金。而另两个裁判打分分别是115-113 戈洛夫金胜，114-114打平。因为伯德的打分分差太大，赛后在各界引起轩然大波。
顶级推广公司总裁阿鲁姆今天告诉媒体说；“我们曾经多次拒绝启用伯德作为记分裁判，例如洛马琴科VS沃特斯那场，但内华达体委驳回了我们的请求。伯德是一个好人，我很喜欢她，但她的打分总是不太靠谱。
内华达体委的班内特知道她过去的一些记分卡非常可疑，那是我告诉他的。但是他们很傲慢，内华达体委什么都知道，我们对她的判断能力没有任何信心。但他们认为我们是只关心赚钱的农民，因此，他们不会关注我们所说过的任何事情”。

Arum: This is What They Get For Letting Byrd Do Canelo-Golovkin!
Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum shook his head when Adalaide Byrd was assigned as one of the three official judges for last Saturday's middleweight mega-bout between Gennady Golovkin and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez - which took place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Byrd, and the Nevada State Athletic Commission, is under heavy fire - after Byrd scored the contest 118-110 in favor of Canelo, while the other two official judges had it 115-113 Golovkin and 114-114 for the draw.
While the fight was very entertaining, the majority of the post-fight coverage has been on Byrd's scorecard - which even Canelo's promoter, Oscar De La Hoya of Golden Boy, criticized as being too wide for his own fighter.

In the past, Top Rank has tried to remove Byrd from several of their past contests.
Last year, they tried removing Byrd from scoring the Vasyl Lomachenko-Nicholas Walters featherweight clash at the Cosmopolitan. The Nevada State Athletic Commission denied the request.
“We have a whole history with Adalaide Byrd, who I like very much. She’s a wonderful person, but her scorecards have been in many cases been off the wall,” said Arum to the Las Vegas Review Journal.
“The complaint [to remove her from some of our fights] wasn’t that she was against us or that she was prejudiced in any way. The complaint was she wasn’t a good judge, and the we thought, it wasn’t appropriate to have her because we didn’t have any confidence in her ability to judge.”
Despite Arum's complaints, Byrd was still given high profile assignments - including last weekend's controversial scoring of Canelo-Golovkin.
“This what they get,” Arum said about the Canelo-Golovkin controversy. “[Nevada Commission head Bob Bennett] had to know that she had some very questionable scorecards in the past. He had to know that because we told him.”
“It’s the arrogance that they know everything. They think that we are the peasants that care for nothing other than ** a buck, and therefore, they’re not going to pay attention to anything we have to say.” |
