    usually you can tell who would have who winning based on their posting history.

    My guess is you'll have Floyd winning.

    Wow you have good memory...

    Ya, i tend to give more credit to whoever hits the other guy most (and most effectively) rather than pure aggression.



    Round 1, Floyd looked dominant...But that could be said about sooo many fights in which they came out the loser (most recently cotto-pacquiao)

    I also give credit to whoever hits the other guy most / most effectively. but not RATHER than pure agression. Its not one or the other. Sometimes the more agressive guy is also landing more and more effectively.

    I will save you the drama floyd won by unamimous dec...of course his fans will say he won and floyd haters will say he lost...it was a close figth...PBF got the dec then beat him easy in the rematch while not injured

    Interesting fight.

    Referee was TERRIBLE.

    Looked like Floyd had legit hand/shoulder problems (wasn't just bull**** as it usually is when fighters make excuses....at least thats my opinion from watching the fight)

    Ugly fight...Wonder what would've happened if it went 15 rounds

    i like floyd a lot, but 6th round on he was not himself and lost the fight imo.

    very close and tough fight to score. obvious shoulder injury. glad he proved he was the better fighter in the rematch.

    Well, in general it seems people who judge fights lean toward either

    whose the aggressor

    or

    whose landing the most blows/most effective blows


    In close rounds, how u weigh those often determine those rounds thus determining the fight. However, in this fight...the times Castillo was most aggressive (running to floyd when he was on the ropes) also were the times he was most effective

    HAD Mayweather lost this fight, you'd have to wonder how mentally this would've affected him for the rest of his career.

    I guess. I don't think it would inspire him like it would for other fighters. He takes a lot of pride with being undefeated and his ego is wrapped around that record.

    If not for Void's criminal judges, he would have lost the fight.

    Remember, Void won the fight with Oscar by slit decision, if not for Void's judges he would have lost that one also. Oscar kept knocking Void's head back, but the judges did not give him points for hitting Void in the head. Void just tried to cover up most of the fight.

    You're delusional if you think hitting air counts. DLH CLEARLY lost.

    Hey farmy,

    If Void fell down in the woods would he still be void?...and how much void could a voidchuck chuck if a voidchuck could chuck void?

    So..........you are saying that Void's head is nothing but air?
