It was announced this past week that Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin will have a rematch of their highly debated bout from last September. One of the key figures in that fight, which was ruled a split draw, was Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) judge Adalaide Byrd.
In a bout many thought was won by Golovkin, Byrd scored it 118-110 in favor of Alvarez. Golovkin, at the time, called the decision “terrible.” And the pitchforks have been out for Byrd in the media and among fans. Alvarez vs. Golovkin 2 is set for May 5 in a location yet to be decided.
