Pacquiao on Golovkin-Alvarez: ‘Did they bring these judges over from Australia?’
Manny Pacquiao was one of many celebrities who disparaged the scoring in the Golovkin-Alvarez fight, which ended in a draw

 

MANILA, Philippines— The draw verdict in the Gennady Golovkin vs Saul “Canelo” Alvarez middleweight championship fight was met with universal derision made for hot debate on social media after the fight’s conclusion on Saturday, September 16 (Sunday Manila time).

One judge had it 115-113 for Golovkin, while another scored a 114-114 draw in the main event that took place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Netizens, however, particularly pondered on judge Adalaide Byrd’s 118-110 card for Alvarez.

Manny Pacquiao, who had been talking up the fight for months, took a shot at the judges who scored it a draw and for Alvarez, tweeting out “Did they bring these judges over from Australia?” in a reference to the controversial judging that gave Jeff Horn a unanimous decision win over him in July. 


Here are some of the social media reactions following the announcement of the match result:
