Floyd Mayweather is perfect. In 42 professional fights, he has 42 victories. Floyd Mayweather has remained at the top of his game for many years, his talent being leaps and bounds beyond any other fighter in boxing. His personality is over the top, he is loved and hated. He is wanted and adored. He is vilified and despised. As long as hes perfect, he will be relevant. As long as he fights, he will be perfect. For now. Unfairly though, Floyd Mayweather is often judged by the fighters he hasnt fought, or the potential losses he never had. Even in perfection, Floyd Mayweather is judged. Even if the best fighter in the world is perfect, many experts write off his many achievements. Its sad, that even in being perfect its not good enough.
In the 11th round, Roger Mayweather instructed Floyd to stand and punch, perhaps an indication that his trainer was concerned that Floyd may have been behind at that late point in the fight. Castillo dominated Mayweather in that round. I never saw Floyd look so overwhelmed. He was losing the fight. In the final round, Castillo seemed full of energy and was out working Mayweather, scoring with the heavier handed shots and ultimately winning the battle and the war. As the last bell rang, both fighters continued to brawl and had to be separated by Draculich. They both raised their hands in victory. Without a knock out to settle things, HBO went to the scorecards. The Judge’s scores read as follows: John Keane of England – 115-111 for Mayweather Jerry Roth of Nevada- 115-111 for Mayweather Anek Hongtongkam of Thailand-116-111 for Mayweather Harold Lederman of HBO had it-115-111 for Castillo. All the announcers, including Foreman had Castillo ahead. My score was 116-111 for Castillo.

He said it wasn’t the first time a decision like this was handed out. I knew it wouldn’t be the last. This is what happens in the absence of a legitimate National Boxing Commission. The Judges are obviously paid by the promoters who tell them how to score the fight regardless what actually happens in the ring.
Castillo dominated the 11th round? 8:50 [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swOL5Ytzhzw&feature=related[/ame] Lampley: "Tough round to score!" Tell your ***** mother lay off the crack next time she has a child.
^^No doubt, phenomenal fighter and one of the best talents in the history of boxing nobody is perfect though
awesome post the 11th round is my favorite in that fight. that's when Floyd finally decides to engage Castillo on the inside and with their heads locked together he unleashes some of the most beautiful combinations he's ever thrown. this is when he turns it up. only if he wasn't injured in that fight, fuking shame!
From memory Castillo lost because he didnt do enough in the early rounds, Mayweather banked too many rounds early. Mayweather has a perfect record, but as we seen in the Mosley fight, he is far from perfect - as he can get caught.
Although his style might be as close as you can get as perfect for boxing (hit and not get hit), nobody is perfect. Remember how we all thought Roy was perfect when he beat Ruiz at the same age as Floyd is now? Funny how that changed one and two fights later.
my ***** agenda? that was a copy and paste from a boxing journalist :good funny how a chimp who hangs from mayweathers balls like you calls me a *****, your the definition of a groupie keep defending your boyfriend on the internet ******
