Floyd Mayweather’s win over Canelo Alvarez was marred by controversy that even caught Mike Tyson’s attention.
In 2013, the young Mexican star challenged America’s pound-for-pound king and was comprehensively outclassed.
Canelo was just 23 at the time while Mayweather’s experience showed at 36.
He outboxed his young challenger to win a convincing points decision, according to two of the three judges at least.
Dave Moretti scored the fight 116-112 and Craig Metcalfe had it 117-111 in Mayweather’s favour.
However, on her scorecard, CJ Ross astonishingly scored the contest a draw at 114-114.
This mattered not to the end result, as Mayweather still emerged victorious, just by majority decision instead of a unanimous one.
Regardless though, Ross’ scorecard caused outrage, as she had also turned in a controversial score for Manny Pacquiao’s split decision loss to Tim Bradly a year prior.
Former undisputed heavyweight world champion Tyson had his say in the media, seemingly alleging something deeper was going on.
Tyson told the Wall Street Journal: “When you’re that great and you make somebody who is a great fighter seem like a journeyman, you’re going to build animosity.
“Because that’s just a human trait and that’s what this country produced – animosity, jealous, envy, drugs, chaos.
“There had to have been some animosity there.
“It was pretty much a shutout. For her to do that – maybe her license should be revoked.
“I don’t want her, by any chance, to referee any of my fights.”
Ross stepped down as a boxing judge after the fight, retiring amid the controversy, and never scored another bout again.
