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]
