LAS VEGAS -- A veteran Nevada boxing judge who drew widespread criticism after scoring a weekend title fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez a draw is giving up her ringside job, at least temporarily. "Im taking time away," Cynthia C.J. Ross told The Associated Press on Wednesday in a brief telephone interview from her home outside Las Vegas. The 64-year-old Ross said she wont judge any fights "in the immediate future," and hadnt made a decision whether to quit. Ross scored the world 152-pound title fight a 114-114 draw on Saturday night, but Mayweather won a majority decision after two other judges scored Mayweather the clear winner. Those scorecards had the fight 116-112 and 117-111 for Mayweather, who remained an undefeated 45-0. Alvarez fell to 42-1-1 before a big crowd at the MGM Grand Garden Arena and a large pay-per-view audience. Nevada boxing regulators generally backed Ross, although Nevada Athletic Commission Chairman Bill Brady told reporters the panel could have looked more closely at her selection for the Mayweather fight. Brady promised changes to protect fighters, fans and bettors. He didnt immediately respond Wednesday to messages. Ross also drew attention as one of two judges who scored Timothy Bradley the winner in a controversial split-decision welterweight title bout over Manny Pacquiao in June 2012 in Las Vegas. The decision spurred a call by the manager of both fighters, Bob Arum, for a review by Nevada state Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto. She said she found nothing illegal or criminal in the scoring. State Athletic Commission Executive Director Keith Kizer said Wednesday he respected Ross decision to take time off and appreciated her more than 20 years of service to boxing. Ross, a retired casino surveillance official and mechanical designer, said she has been scoring fights for 22 years and estimated that she had judged more than 30 previous championship bouts. She defended her scoring of the 12-round Mayweather-Alvarez fight. "I had six rounds for each fighter," she said. "Every round was close. I no idea of the controversy until the next day." Ross said she thought second-guessing on social media has changed boxing. "Controversy happens in a lot of fights. With the help of social media, people expressing opinions, it brings things to a different light," she said. "Im taking the brunt of it." Immediately after Saturdays fight, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer called Ross scorecard "a disgrace" and said she shouldnt have been hired after the controversy of the Bradley-Pacquiao fight. Mayweather, who was seen on pay-per-view television expressing shock that the fight had been scored a majority decision, was diplomatic in interviews. "Things happen," he told reporters. "The best commission in the world is the Nevada commission, so Ill leave it in their hands." Kizer said all three ringside judges said Mayweather outperformed Alvarez overall. But the athletic commission executive noted the fight was scored as 12 individual rounds. "Obviously, this fight was one of the most watched in history, so youre going to be under a bigger microscope," Kizer said. "Hopefully, the story by the time Mayweather fights again is what a great fighter he is and how well he fought."

The Cardinals, who began the 2014-15 campaign with a loss to nationally-ranked Utah, 90-72, enters the weekend two games below .500 thanks to back-to-back defeats. The latest setback occurred on Wednesday night when the squad fell hard against James Madison at home, 72-52. As for the Aztecs, theyve already tallied their third loss of the campaign, something that did not happen last season until late February. In addition to defeats versus Arizona and Washington from the Pac-12 Conference, SDSU was also turned away by Cincinnati in overtime three nights ago, 71-62. The good news for the Aztecs, who have won 19 straight games at home, is that theyve gone 56 games without having lost back-to-back outings. This is the fifth all-time meeting between these two programs, but the first since 1999, with the Cardinals holding a 3-1 series advantage. At home in Worthen Arena, the Cardinals were limited to just eight field goals in the first half and 17 for the game as they shot a mere 29.8 percent from the floor and 6-of-23 behind the 3-point line in the 20-point setback to JMU. Ball State failed to have a single player score in double figures in that outing, although Franko House and Xavier Turner came close with nine points apiece, even as the latter shot a woeful 2-of-12 from the field. The shooting performance versus the Dukes was the woorst of the season for BSU, the previous low being 30.dddddddddddd4 percent versus Eastern Illinois earlier in the month. The team is now shooting 43.9 percent from the field, but a very decent 40.6 percent out on the perimeter which is rather surprising. Turner paces the group with 13.7 ppg and Sean Sellers comes in with another 13.0 ppg, thanks not only to 55.6 percent accuracy beyond the arc but also 27-of-30 (.900) at the free-throw line. Despite coming back from a five-point deficit with just 42 seconds remaining in regulation, the Aztecs still felt the sting of yet another loss on Wednesday as they bowed to Cincinnati at Fifth Third Arena. Guilty of 18 turnovers, San Diego State shot just 5-of-25 behind the 3-point line, with Dwayne Polee II missing all seven of his opportunities as he tallied nine points in 25 minutes of action. The top offensive threats versus the Bearcats were Winston Shepard and Trey Kell with 17 and 11 points, respectively, the former also accounting for five of the units 11 assists in the losing cause. The Aztecs dont have many offensive stars these days due in part to their efforts at the other end of the floor where they have limited opponents to just 56.6 ppg on 37.1 percent shooting from the field and 30.4 percent behind the 3-point line. Unfortunately, as a group the Aztecs, who are led by Shepard with his 10.9 ppg, are knocking down a pitiful 27.0 percent out on the perimeter and a disappointing 62.4 percent at the free-throw line where theyve attempted 105 more shots than the competition.
