no way did mayweather win round 10. Castillo won the fight for sure. The score cardsat the end where rediculous.
in the heat of the moment, it looked like a castillo round, to the judges, there are many different angles that can change the outlook of the round, some punches may appear to land clean, however the majority of the punches coming from castillo were on the hips, see for yourself the MAJORITY of his cleanest hardest punches were clearly on the hips, this is not effective in my eyes floyd opened up and started carving castillo with uppercuts, left hook to the kidney, left to the stomach, then a left hook with a BIG right hand that backed up castillo, then moments later again floyd opens up with left hook upstairs, down, then back up which all landed flush pushing castillo back, this is clean effective punching and displaying ring generalship, clearly a floyd round in terms of effectiveness
I had Floyd winning the first 5 and 10th for sure. Losing the final round in a competitive fight when you're the challenger didn't help Floyd.
Ive watched it a number of times....and score it a dead on Draw! Floyd 1,2,3,4 ,5, 10 Castillo 6,7,8,9,11,12 C's rounds were not always won on clear affective ring generalship and mostly through agression and punch volume!
dont get me wrong castillo had moments but the first 2 minutes he landed nothing other than a couple of glancing right hands and body shots, key word couple and glancing, mayweather land several clean shots including multiple jabs, double rights, double left hooks, some even snapping castillos head back, clearly a mayweather round
1 10: 9 Nothing spectacular, Floyd basically outjabs JLC 2 10: 9 close one, but Floyd should've nudged it - the knockdown was correctly ruled as a trip 3 10: 9 once again, it's a close one, with Floyd running away mostly, but connecting more often 4 10: 9 there is still not much happening, JLC the agressor all the way, but Floyd landing way more 5 10:10 very difficult, Floyd is not doing any damage and JLC keeps coming forward 6 9:10 if you count the punches, you probably have Floyd winning it, but Castillo develops momentum and gets the round (if only because the first 5 were so close) 7 9:10 even though nothing really landed, JLC wins it in the last :10 8 9: 9 a close round, Floyd landing more, but looking like he's running, point deduction at the end --- I've seen worse offenses... 9 9:10 Castillo by volume and agression 10 8:10 Castillo by volume and agression, esp. in 2nd half, weird point deduction against Floyd, referee also let JLC hit Floyd intentionally and visibly on the back without reapercussion 11 10: 9 Floyd wins the 2nd half more impressively than JLC won the 1st half 12 10: 9 difficult - JLC very active and eager, Floyd IMO connecting a lot more 114: 113 Difficult to score, because neither fighter did ANY kind of damage. The headbutt in round 2 was probably the most significant thing happening. Floyd retreating all the way, JLC the agressor for like 30 minutes. I saw Floyd landing more cleanly mostly, but since round 4, he was looking like he ran away. I think both a victory of Floyd and a victory of JLC are thinkable. Lederman's card was just ridiculous IMHO. The most we can take away from that fight is that Floyd did not look dominant, considering that JLC is not in his class...
Explain this ! The first fight referee: Vic Drakulich | judge: Anek Hongtongkam 116-111 | judge: John Keane 115-111 | judge: Jerry Roth 115-111 WBC lightweight title the second fight eferee: Joe Cortez | judge: Ken Morita 115-113 | judge: Larry O'Connell 116-113 | judge: Daniel Van de Wiele 115-113 They cheat Castillo out of the first fight Jr won the second easy. The fix was in .
I had Castillo by one point.. Its been awhile but i watched it when they fought and shortly after... I remember some rounds were close, a draw wouldnt have been so bad, this wasnt a robbery but Mayweather didnt exactly deserve the nod.
This was a sad day for Castillo, he did enough to win, but according to the judges cards would have needed to win almost every round to actually get the nod. At least Floyd had the decency to give him a rematch. The first fight should have been Floyd's first loss for sure.
If u score one round differently it goes from a 1pt castillo win to a 1pt mayweather win, so how could you say he didn't deserve the nod?
