C. J. Ross

C.J. Ross is a retired boxing judge who drew criticism for her scorecards in multiple high-profile fights.

Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley

As a judge for the Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley fight, Ross scored the bout for Bradley, 115-113. Her scorecard drew heavy criticism, since the other two judges split their respective scorecards, making the result a split decision in favor of Bradley.[1][2][3][4][5]

Floyd Mayweather vs. Canelo Álvarez

As a judge for the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Canelo Álvarez fight, Ross scored the bout a draw, 114-114. Her scorecard again drew heavy criticism and changed the outcome of the scoring from a unanimous decision to a majority decision.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] However, unlike the Pacquiao-Bradley fight, her scorecard did not change the win/loss upshot.

Retirement

After the Mayweather-Álvarez fight, Ross stepped down as a boxing judge.[14]

gollark: No.
gollark: A web application which will applicate some webs.
gollark: An apioform is an apioform.
gollark: Well, I wanted to write a thing, and my choices are/were essentially:- Rust - kind of annoying (yes, yes, I know) since I don't care that much about performance and don't mind just waiting for the garbage collector to garbage collect- JavaScript - fast/easy for me to write, but horribly resource-inefficient and it'll probably break in a few months from dependencies- Python - I don't really like it for larger-scale things, and dependency management is still fairly bees- something else, and I'd heard OCaml was neat
gollark: Yes, I'm assuming it probably isn't, but I don't know what *is* going on.
