The fight was a split draw and the three former WBC Champion judges scored the fight as follows: Chad Dawson (76–76 draw), Christy Martin (79–73 for Tyson), and Vinny Pazienza (76–80 for Jones). Compubox numbers showed that Tyson outlanded Jones by a wide margin, and sportswriter Dan Rafael described Pazienza’s scorecard as ‘pure insanity’.

The odds suggest that Berlanga has no more than a puncher’s chance, but even that’s remote. Canelo has a concrete chin as evidenced by the fact that he’s rarely been shaken and has never been down in a 65-fight career. Is Berlanga really the guy to smoke his boots?
