Reacting on social media after seeing the scorecards, one fan said: "115-113 is absolutely criminal, bud (Crawford) was up at least 4 rounds."
Another tweeted: "Bro what? Crawford won like every round except for maybe like 2."
A third fan added: "116-112 is the most fair."
Someone else wrote: "Bruh they almost robbed Crawford. It was clear 4-0 first 4 rounds."

Another fan said: "Lowkey tried to rob him cause there’s no way he won less than 8 rounds."
Speaking after the fight, a disappointed Alvarez was gracious in defeat.
He said: "I feel great to share the ring with great fighters like him. If we do it again then it'll be great. I already accomplished a lot in boxing. My legacy is already there and I like taking risks because I love boxing.
"I feel strong. Crawford is a great fighter, a skilled fighter."
Meanwhile, Crawford said: "I knew I won when the last bell rang. God doesn't make mistakes and I'm here for a reason, I've been telling you that all week.
"I don't think he was less conditioned or anything, he was a thousand per cent prepared, I just think I was the better man."
