这位资深女裁判阿德莱德.邦德（Adalaide Byrd）给阿瓦雷兹VS戈洛夫金打分118-110，判定阿瓦雷兹获胜后，除了来自媒体对她的诟病还有各种辱骂。
ESPN拳击分析师泰迪·阿特拉斯随后就发泄了自己的不满，认为邦德这是明显的“腐败”，明显的错判。
菲律宾巨星帕奎奥更是开玩笑说；“这是他们从澳大利亚带回来的裁判么？”暗指自己上一场比赛在澳大利亚被黑。
面对来自各界的压力，貌似邦德女士也感觉到自己错了，泪流满面。
Adalaide Byrd burst into tears after seeing the social media reaction to her much reviled scorecard that had Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez beating Gennady Golovkin 118-110.
GGG was the consensus winner with the public in an action-packed middleweight contest.
After Dave Moretti scored it 115-113 in favour of the Kazakh and Don Trella turned in a 114-114, Byrd's wide card tarnished a thrilling fight and ensured a split draw verdict, with Golovkin keeping his WBA Super, WBC and IBF world titles.
ESPN boxing analyst Teddy Atlas vented his frustration afterwards and labelled Byrd's scorecard as "corrupt," but incompetence appears to be the reason for a seemingly obvious miscalculation.

It would appear that Byrd knows she has made a big mistake too, after sources told Mirror Sport that the veteran judge wept after checking her phone after the fight and learning of the widespread condemnation and contrasting cards from journalists on social media.
It is the latest controversial scorecard in recent months that continues to mar the sport when the focus from the wider sports media is at its most intense.

Inconsistency has been a problem that has long plagued the sport without an obvious solution, though an additional judge—or two—for world title fights could ensure these mistakes are less impactful on the overall result moving forward.
Canelo's promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, confirmed the Mexican intends to exercise a rematch clause in the contract with a date, possibly next May, likely to be agreed upon once the dust settles. |
