Bad judging is still a problem boxing can't afford

— -- LAS VEGAS -- We were supposed to get a winner and a loser Saturday night.

That's the way big-time sports are supposed to work. There's a coldhearted beauty in that steel scoreboard sitting at the end of the field or hanging above the court or the ice. It doesn't have any feelings or emotions or biases or visual impairments. You get exactly what you deserve at the end of the day.

But boxing, as we sadly found out again on Saturday, doesn't work that way.

Following a classic 12-round battle between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin that most observers thought Golovkin won, the fight was ruled a draw thanks to one of the worst scorecards in the history of a sport littered with them.
