The BoxingArts Composite Scorecard for the third Gennady Golovkin / Canelo Alvarez fight has Canelo Alvarez beating Gennady Golovkin 115 to 113. The Nevada State Athletic Commission Scorecard also has Alvarez winning the fight, in a unanimous decision, but none of the three judges cards were the same. Each judge scored the fight differently, so it's worth looking at each of the judges scorecards to see exactly how they scored the fight, and why Alvarez won.
Judges Steve Weisfeld and David Sutherland scored the fight 115 to 113 for Alvarez, the same as the BoxingArts Composite Scorecard, but their cards do not match one another, nor do they match the BoxingArts Composite Scorecard, and Judge Dave Moretti had it 116 to 112 for Alvarez, so which judge scored the fight correctly? Judge Dave Moretti had three outlier rounds, that is, rounds in which his scores didn't agree with either of the other two judges. The BoxingArts Composite Scorecard eliminates outlier scores, based on the assumption that the two judges who are in agreement scored the round correctly, and the judge who scored it differently got it wrong. Judge Steve Weisfeld has no outlier rounds. He scored each round the same as at least one of the other two judges, so he scored the fight correctly, the same as the BoxingArts Composite Scorecard.
