C J ROSS defends her scoring

[breenpat]

I can see why she scored the rounds for Canelo. Floyd was backing off too much, Canelo was bringing the fight to him.

I scored it 117-111 for Floyd because of his clean accurate punching, but I think the commentators were very biased in favor of Floyd and he didn't really "dominate".

the stream I watched was in french and I had no fucking clue what they were saying....I had the fight 11 rounds to 1 or 119-109 for Floyd, it was an easy fight to score, Canelo did nothing effectively and Floyd was still hitting him with shots while backing away, so there goes that theory

..judging a fight is the same in any mans language..

the reason I mentioned the language of the stream (which I thought was pretty damn clear) was because Freedom is trying to insinuate that the commentary on Showtime made the fight seem more lopsided than it was, which is pure bullshit, a shut out is obvious with or without recognizable commentary

That was one of Floyd's most convincing wins and I don't think it was because at 36 he is suddenly discovering the fountain of youth. It is everything to do with a lazy opponent who cannot fight in more than spurts and was handpicked. Mayweather drained a man with a flimsy record and a track record of not pushing opponents hard for the duration of a fight.

It was sealed from the off. Honestly, at times it was like Mayweather/Baldomir. The way Canelo backed off a couple of times like his heart wasn't in it was embarrassing. You are earning millions and you want to take off half the fight and back off occasionally because the effort is too much? The blueprints are there on how to hassle Floyd and he went in there and tried to box and counter for 6 rounds! It is outrageous.

I will take a million Hatton like performances over that any day of the week. Hatton might have got stopped, but he tried, tried and tried. Really it was that point deduction that made him kamikaze, but like a kamikaze pilot, there was no restraint or quit in Hatton.

Canelo on the other hand is supposedly a bully, but was nothing of the sort. At least Mosley had the excuse of age and being washed up, but Mosley made a bigger dent than Alvarez.

So...because the most in demand fight out there happened to be a good one stylistically for Floyd, it is a handpicked opponent. Utter crock. Who else should he have fought, Golovkin at 160?? He has fairly slow feet and stands upright to, if Floyd managed to pull that off would it be further cherry picking

I could see giving the 11th and 12th to Canelo just by default. PBF ran. I think I recall seeing one round of the first 6 close enough to justify a nod. I can't imagine where I'd get the other 3 though.

Exactly. Floyd haters will never be satisfied. Maybe he needs to go to heavyweight and beat a Klitschko.

I don't think saying Floyd handpicked his opponent is always derogatory. Floyd spoke openly of it in the all access show Showtime was doing. A number of us here said Canelo would look like a punk against Floyd and Floyd knew that five years ago. Still, people wanted to see Canelo fight Floyd so it worked well for him. Hand picking opponents is nothing new to boxing but some champs want to go out of their way to fight tough competition to further enhance their dominance. Floyd does not do that.
