While Ross scored the fight 114-114 (Mayweather rounds 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9, and Alvarez rounds 1, 3, 8, 9, 11 and 12), I had it 119-109 in favour of Mayweather, giving the Mexican only the eighth round.
"From where I sat there were a lot of close rounds and a lot of exchanges Canelo was able to able to land his punches effectively," Ross told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
"When you score 12 rounds of boxing, you're scoring 12 separate fights. I have no problems with my scoring the fight the way I did."
Rosss work for which she earned $8,500 in the $150 million grossing fight was defended by *Keith Kizer, executive director of the NSAC.

Kizer said he evaluates judges annually, and on a fight-by-fight basis. Ross, he said, is one of the NSAC's top judges, and he's not considering disciplinary action. "Discipline does not make sense here," he said. "It's a review process. What I plan to do is look at that eighth round.
"If I review a round and don't understand why the judge went that way, I'll (talk) with the judge. If I understand why the judge went that way, it would be unfair to criticize."

Lol. Who's the idiot who hired Kizer? How often is his job evaluated? Once every 50 years?
:D
