针对记分裁判阿德莱德·伯德（Adelaide Byrd）118-110的打分，金童推广的发言人戈麦兹要求记者不要发表过多的评论和新闻，他认为比赛焦点在于两个拳手之间的精彩对决。
虽然戈洛夫金很清晰的控制了比赛的节奏，但伯德认为戈洛夫金只赢了第四和第七回合，阿瓦雷兹的推广人霍压对伯德此举也表示后惊讶。
去年，顶级推广在洛马琴科VS沃特斯的比赛试图弃用伯德，并且与内华达体委讨论了伯德几个有争议的记分卡。例如；伯德在何塞.贝纳维德兹击败弗朗西斯科桑塔纳的比赛中打分100-90，而其他两个裁判的打分是96-94、98-92，更为接近。
伯德1997年开始裁判生涯，戈洛夫金VS阿瓦雷兹是她主持的第442场比赛，同时她还主持MMA的赛事。执法过115场冠军头衔战和淘汰赛。
伯德最近被披露的争议判决最著名的是卡尔扎合击败霍普金斯那场，尽管霍普金斯第三回合击倒了对手一次，但有两个裁判打分116-111115-112卡尔扎合胜，而伯德记分是114-113霍普金斯胜。
在另一篇新闻中内华达体委主任班尼特说；伯德不会被辞退，我们需要调查，但伯德也不会在近期的比赛中出现，她需要休息一段时间。
另一位女裁判也遭遇了伯德类似的情况，拉斯维加斯的C.J.罗斯。内华达州体委员会执行主任凯泽（貌似已经辞职）发出一封电子邮件，说：“她将离开她已经评判了20多年的体育运动”。
C.J.罗斯在2013年阿瓦雷兹VS梅威瑟的比赛中给出了114-114的分数，另外两名裁判给出的分数是117- 111和116 - 112。
The Gennady Golovkin-Canelo Alvarez tussle was being hailed as one of the most awaited and most attractive middleweight title fight since Marvelous Marvin Hagler and Tommy "Hitman" Hearns squared it off atop the ring in what was billed as "The War." It didn't have the drama of a knockout but the 12 rounds fought by the two middleweight giants pounding each other for 36 exciting minutes packed the T-Mobile Arena and glued countless fans to their TV sets. The ring battle resulted in a split draw which failed to satisfy thousands and thousands of GGG supporters who cried foul over the judging.
Golden Boy president Eric Gomez requested reporters not to make so much commentary and news about the judging. He thinks that the fight stories should be about the outstanding performances by the two of boxing’s best fighters pound-for-pound. But they could not prevent these negative criticisms as long as judges would continue to be too biased in their scoring. The Golovkin-Alvarez tussle was a wonderful fight, however it was completely overshadowed by the scorecard of Adelaide Byrd, the controversial judge who in the first place should haven't been assigned to score the fight.
Last year, Top Rank attempted to exclude Byrd from Vasyl Lomachenko-Nicholas Walters super featherweight title fight. In a communication to the Nevada State Athletic Commission, Top Rank discussed several Byrd’s arguable scorecards. She scored 100-90 for Jose Benavidez in a win over Francisco Santana. The two other judges saw it much closer for Benavidez, 96-94 and 98-92.
In the fight where Jessie Magdaleno won over The Filipino Flash Nonito Donaire, Byrd had a 118-110 card for Magdaleno in his win over Nonito Donaire. The two other judges scored the fight for Magdaleno but of closer margin at 116-112. Dan Rafael wrote: "ESPN had Donaire winning 115-113, and many at ringside had it even.
Byrd’s scorecard in the Alvarez-Golovkin middleweight championship was by far the most controversial.
Her 118-110 score for Alvarez is a huge difference from Dave Moretti’s 115-113 for Golovkin and Don Trella’s 114-114 draw. Most of the mediamen who covered the fight scored it too close, with a margin of one or two points for either fighter or even a draw. Golovkin clearly dominated the match, but Byrd scored just the fourth and seventh in favor of the Kazakh. Even Alvarez’s promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, was surprised at Byrd’s 118-110 scorecard and said “What was that?”
Byrd, who is married to Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor referee Robert Byrd, will rest from judging any big fights. Nevada Athletic Commission head Bob Bennett said Byrd will be taking “a small break” from judging major fights. “I’m not going to put her right back in,” Bennett declared. “She’ll still be in the business, but she needs to catch her breath.”
Bennett said that NSAC would conduct an inquiry and have a replay of the fight with Byrd asked to explain her analysis of each round. “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.”
Byrd has been a boxing judge since 1997. In her 20-year career she judged several very important fights in America. Most often she officiated bouts by Golden Boy Promotions. She also acts as judge in MMA. The Gennady Golovking-Canelo Alvarez middleweight championship was the 442nd fight she officiated.
When Joe Calzaghe faced Bernard Hopkins for The Ring Magazine light-heavyweight title in 2008, most experts chose the British fighter as the winner, although he was knocked down in the third round. Judge Chuck Giampa scored the bout 116-111 and Ted Gimza had it 115-112 all for Calzaghe. Byrd scored the fight 114-113 in favor of Hopkins.
"She's done over 115 title fights and/or elimination bouts. She does a great deal of our training. Takes a lot of our judges under her wing. I think being a judge is a very challenging position," says Bennett. "Unfortunately, Adalaide was a little wide. I'm not ** any excuses." The NSAC executive think Byrd is an outstanding judge. "In any business, sometimes you have a bad day. She saw the fight differently. It happens," he told reporters.
Another well known judge underwent the same situation as Byrd. C.J. Ross of Las Vegas, sent Nevada State Athletic Commission executive director Keith Kizer an email saying "that she would step away from the sport she has judged for more than 20 years." It resulted also from a series of controversial judging in high-profile championships.
Ross scored a debatable card of 114-114 for Mayweather-Alvarez, the biggest fight of the year 2013. Almost everybody analyzed the lopsided fight in favor of Mayweather, but he won only by majority decision. The two other judges scored the fight for Mayweather 117-111 and 116-112, although these were too |
