    All the announcers and Harold Letterman Had Castillo ahead and in retrospect I shared Harold's Score.This was a bad decision IMO ... Do you think Floyd lost this fight and should have lost his 0 and what are your thought on this fight and your scorecard

    No it was a close fight won by Mayweather. I don't recall my score card, but I stand by my statment. Some people need to grasp at straws.

    Absolutely not.
    Mayweather won - Maybe it was close - But he won.

    Nope.

    By nearly any unbiased and knowledgeable scoring, he lost that fight.

    Still, it was close, and far from a robbery.

    I've seen much worse decisions, and Floyd left no doubts in the rematch.

    Could have gone either way IMO. Close fight. Perhaps a better argument can be made for Castillo but giving it to FMJ isn´t really a problem. Mayweather set the things right in the rematch anyway.

    I agree. Compubox had Castillo outlanding Mayweather 3 to 1 in power punches. Usually, I take those stats with a grain of salt, but 3 to 1 is indicative of something major.

    Still a shame for Castillo. The loss wouldn't hurt Floyd much (well, it'd hurt his marketing appeal, I suppose, but not legacy-wise) but Castillo would do much better with a crown win like this.

    I scored the 1st fight to Castillo 115-113, close but clear. I think he definitely won the fight. Had the rematch to Mayweather by 4.

    There's 5 clear FMJ rounds, 4 clear JLC rounds with 3 very close rounds, anywhere from 8-4 FMJ to 7-5 JLC is fair. Is it a coincidence that those that call it a robbery also tend to be anti-Mayweather? I don't think so
