The draw doesn't bother me as much at that 118-110 did.

Nah, I'm too busy trying to comment on #NTBoxing between rounds, lol. But I can say at the end of a fight if one fighter dictated a fight, landed more punches, and won a fight round by round, or if it was a draw.
After every big fight with a controversial decision there's ALWAYS one NTer who's like "You guys didn't see the same fight I saw. Judges had it right." Which is fine, except something has to be hinky when it's like 10/1 "bogus" in the overall assessment of the scoring.

Coming from someone who put 1k on canelo... ggg won 8-4 without a doubt. I honestly dont care about the monetary value, but that decision made me sick to my stomach. The the main reason why i bet canelo is cuz im aware of the politics of boxing, and that decison made me sick to my stomach. I honestly would've been more satisfied if i lost my bet than the outcome of this fight
Whatever... canelo ggg 2 = $
Whatever... canelo ggg 2 = $

I almost always score the first couple rounds and then fall off because I'm too drunk and/or lazy to keep going, or the fights too good and I just want to enjoy it
But I had it 3-2 GGG going into the 6th. Don't remember thinking Canelo won a round through the 9th. My card mirrors Moretti. Except like somebody just mentioned, I think in the 10th Canelo came out blazing for the first minute and then went back to his back against the ropes and arguably lost that round.
If Canelo had better cardio he coulda took this thing clean. Either GGG is on the downslide or the competition is finally stiff enough to challenge him, or both.
Yeah, I can see Canelo making adjustments. He wasn't that far off from winning this one outright, and GGG is just gonna get older

Basically, each round is scored individually. Barring knockdowns by both fighters, or points being taken away for fouls (headbutts, low blows, etc.) One of the fighters should receive 10 pts for "winning the round" while the other fighter should get 9 points or fewer, depending on how badly he was beaten (if I knock you down and otherwise win the round I'll get a 10-8 score, but if you won the round and I happen to get a random knockdown it can be a 9-9 round).
Each round is scored based on how active each fighter is, punches landed (the judges do not see the compubox #s, they base their scores off their personal estimation of what they see land), and "ring generalship", basically who dictated the action and initiated the offense.
At the end of the fight, each round is tallied and the three judges scorecards are compared.
And if you're Adelaide Byrd, you can just make **** up.

12 was the recommendation from a couple medical organizations IIRC. They did some studies and found the brain is more susceptible to serious damage after the 12th RD. It's also worth noting that the change was made when network television was still broadcasting big fights, and 12 RDs fits a lot nicer in TV blocks.
Beside the fact that draws are good for the business of the sport ( like tonight for example), the apprehensiveness to ties is a uniquely American phenomenon and boxing is a global sport.
I don't have a problem with draws if a fight warrants it, but this did not. GGG won by 3 or 4 RDs IMO.

The way I judge is simple. If you landed more punches you win the round, if you won more rounds you won the fight, either that or you get the stoppage. It shouldn't involve anything to do with opinions just count the shots landed, how hard it was doesn't matter unless it's a knockdown or knockout

Oh, don't get me wrong, I don't mind draws in stuff like soccer/"football", and didn't mind ties in the NHL when they were a thing. I just think that if you and I beat on each other for 30+ mins one of us should be ajudicated the victor unless absolutely necessary based on knockdowns or fouls. And if it means making a fight 11 rds and possibly sparing the dudes' brains that extra 3 mins of damage, I'm 110% for it.
