It's funny because before the fight, I would have said that Adalaide Byrd is a totally fine judge.
Here's a good breakdown from Reddit:

Adalaide Byrd
Adalaide Byrd is one of the most consistent judges in Las Vegas. She's frequently called upon for big pay-per-view events and title fights.
Byrd is frequently on the money with her scorecards and doesn't have a long track record of bad scorecards you can dig up. If she can be pinned to a style preference, it is hard power shots over activity. Also, Byrd is pretty consistent in not giving away rounds because a fighter performs better in a round than they did earlier in the fight.
Notable scorecards: Benavidez-Gavril (116-111 Benavidez. She was closest to being right of the 3 judges), Brook-Spence (97-92 Spence. Depends on if you're British. Most feel this is accurate), Donaire-Magdaleno (118-110 Magdaleno. Mostly accurate, possibly a little wide), Usyk-Glowacki (119-109, fine score).
Previous Alvarez scores: Julio Cesar Chavez Jr (120-108 for Canelo. Same score as when I worked the heavy bag today), Amir Khan (48-47 Khan. A rare card where Byrd favored activity over power shots.)
Think GGG gave Canelo too much respect early. I don't think that happens in a rematch because GGG ate every punch Canelo threw like it was nothing. The man is made from iron.
