    I had 7 rounds to 5 for Mayweather, 114-112. Floyd won the first 5 rounds and the last 2.

    The Castillo fight was not a robbery. It was competitive and tough to score. When I saw it live, I thought Castillo won. When I watched the replay I couldn't argue with the scores, as Floyd did the cleaner work while Castillo put on the pressure. Each time I see it I can see an argument for either side. The score cards were a little wider if I remember correctly in Floyd's favor, but no one can claim that it was a robbery, as it could have one to either guy. Only haters and fanboys will argue differently.

    It wasn't even a robbery, much less the worst robbery of the decade. It was a close fight that could have gone either way. It wasn't anything like, say, Whitaker-Chavez. Any it wasn't anything like Augustus-Burton. Hell, it wasn't even like Meehan-Brewster or Holyfield-Valuev.

    And anyone who thinks DLH beat Mayweather has no idea how to score a fight.

    It's not a cold case file. You can't go back and make them pay even if the majority see it the way you do. Get over it! and move on.

    Floyd v castillo 1

    1: 10-9 very good boxing off the back foot by floyd behind his jab.
    2: 10-9 rinse and repeat, again floyd controls the action from the back foot keeping out of range and popping out his jab.
    3: 10-9 again more of the same as floyd boxes comfortably on the backfoot and jlc not doing much of note when he gets inside
    4: 10-9 floyd winning again on the outside but it's becoming more running as jlc begins to close the gap with jabs and lunging uppercuts.
    5: 10-9 floyd cathces castillo everytime he thinks of punching during the first 2 minutes, castillo closes the gap in the last minutes and starts to put some hurt on lil floyd.
    6: 9-10 JLC effectively closes the gap this round backing floyd onto the ropes landing some good shots
    7: 9-10 floyd has sporadic succes on the outside but jlc relentless pressure tells and he has the much better work.
    8: 9-9 jlc winning the round but loses a point at the bell.
    9: 9-10 floyd unable to keep jlc on the outside and his own defence is now overly negative.
    10: 9-9 brilliant display of hit and not get hit by floyd in this round, but then loses a point for an elbow.
    11: 10-9 very good battle on the inside, floyd makes castillo miss most of his shots and lands some brilliant short hooks.
    12: 9-10 floyd reverts back to his negative tactics as jlc chases him round the ring and firing off his punches.

    114-112

    Floyd won a close one over a game Oscar.
    Castillo deserved the win over Floyd, a draw fair, but UD no way.
    I agree Erik getting a draw would of been a victory for him, but it came down to the last round which Maidana took.
    Even with the judges mistake Jmm outlanded Pacman throughout the whole fight and Pacman blew the biggest lead in boxing. A draw was fair and the rematch Jmm won. That was a robbery.
    Sturms jab troubled Oscar, but he didnt do enough to win either. A draw would of been fine.
    Maidana showed alot of heart getting up from that knockdown, but Khan outclassed him most of the fight. Maidana came on too late.

    Close fights aren't robberies.

    Paul Williams vs Erislandy Lara, now that was a robbery!

    There is a difference between a fight being a Robbery and being fixed isn't there?
