This weekend we had a hugely anticipated bout between two of the absolute best in the business in their prime.

Kazakh powerhouse Gennady Golovkin defended his titles against Mexican counterpuncher Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez in a middleweight showdown that harkened back to the 1980s heyday of the Four Kings - Marvin Hagler, Sugar Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns and Roberto Duran.

After the circus of Mayweather-McGregor a few weeks ago, it was a chance to showcase a real boxing match.

It was pure. The best fighting the best for all the marbles.

And – as is so rare in combat sport these days – the fight truly lived up to the hype.

It was give and take for 12 keenly contested rounds. 36 minutes of high-level sanctioned violence.

Then Adalaide Byrd happened.

Adalaide Byrd is a judge. She’s not a very good one. She shouldn’t have a job after this.

It was a close fight, with some rounds hard to split, but somehow Byrd – sitting ringside – scored it 118-110 for Canelo. That means she awarded the Mexican 10 of the 12 rounds.

This is patently ridiculous.

It’s borderline criminal.

Not even the NRL’s Bunker has got a decision so ludicrously, obviously and frustratingly wrong.

So instead of everyone talking about GGG-Canelo as a Fight of the Year contender, we're talking about one judge's pure incompetence. 

Instead of being able to celebrate and say to the casual fans 'see, this is real boxing,' we're apologsing, because unfortunately, that was real boxing.
