Judging played a pivotal role in one of the biggest boxing matches of 2017, so much so that an otherwise exciting fight actually ended up leaving a sour taste in fight fans’ mouths.
While Gennady Golovkin’s signature pressure seemed to have won him yet another fight, the judges’ scorecards felt as though he and Canelo Alvarez fought to a draw.
Boxers and mixed martial artists alike took to Twitter immediately after the draw was announced and as you can imagine, none of them were happy about the result.
NSAC That is DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!

I had Canelo winning due to better power shots… You'll hear or read these other people say otherwise but boxing is based on damage n power

Did GGG do enough to bea Alvarez? Or do you agree with the judges’ scorecards?
