This suggests that boxing has something seriously wrong with it.

I can see how some rounds are close based on what you are looking at/for, but when GGG is unable to ever get the nod. Ever. It suggests that judging is no different to fake news. Everyone knows what they saw.
I suppose what I was trying to get across was how much closer Canelo was to GGG over 24 rounds than every other one of GGGs opponents, with the obvious exception of Jacobs. For me GGG did enough over both fights to be two nill in the series, 0-1-1 is a bad joke really. I personally preferred the volume unless trumped by more significant strikes and gave it to GGG 116-112. I liked that Canelo held his ground more this time around but it still wasn't enough to win/nick close rounds in my opinion.

The fact that there wasn't an Adalaide Byrd style scorecard last night with help some legitimise the overall scoring, however giving Canelo the last round and therefore the win even though more subtle was the standout issue for me with the scoring this time around. Will we ever trust Goldenboy and whoever their home fighter is, for me no. If they do it again will the same think happen, almost certainly.
