Conor McGregor Reacts To Controversial The Split Draw Decision For Canelo vs. Triple G

UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor is still enjoying the success from his massive August super-fight against boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, but was watching all of last nights action for the much anticipated Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin fight in Las Vegas. Much like the rest of the fans and media, McGregor seemed very surprised at the judges decision following a hard fought twelve rounds between the two fighters. Following the fight, Conor jumped on social media to give his opinion on the strange decision.

MMAweekly has the story.

“Despite taking part in one of the biggest spectacles of modern day combat sports, even UFC champion Conor McGregor was seemingly left scratching his head following Saturday night’s Canelo Alvarez vs. Genady Golovkin scoring debacle.

While nearly anyone asked walked away with the thought that Golovkin had clearly won the 12-round bout that was supposed to determine boxing’s new ‘Golden Boy,’ the Nevada State Athletic Commission judges mucked up the works. Adalaide Byrd scored the fight 118-110 for Canelo, Dave Moretti scored the fight 115-113 for Golovkin, and Don Trella scored the fight a 114-114 draw, once again leaving boxing fans with a sour taste in their mouths.”
