Wow.
After the circus that preceded it, Boxing had a chance to present itself as the prestigious, legitimate spectacle it should be, but the need for money-making ensured they shot themselves in the foot.
118-110 is absolutely scandalous and that judge should never work again. 114-114 I can see, at a stretch, so i'm not offended by that score so much as the fact that it needed to be given to ensure the draw and the re-match.
Personally, I had it as 7-5 for GGG. Alvarez won rounds 2, 3, 10, 11, and 12.
