    I still haven't got around to watching it. Punch stats had Castillo landing 40 more shots. Not sure if he had a point deducted though. Yes I know punch stats don't always tell the full story.

    Controversial though from what I heard. Did Money May win?

    No, Mayweather should not have won. Castillo landed more punches, and, Castillo landed the better punches. That being said, it was a pretty close fight.

    Floyd definitely lost to Castillo but since every closed fight is favored to Floyd so he was gifted a paper victory by the judges

    It was a close fight that was difficult to score but I had Castillo winning it by a point.

    I had Floyd ahead 114-112.

    Castillo may have landed more punches in total, but he simply got started too late, imo and allowed Floyd to outbox him through the first ffive. Floyd had a good 8th and imo shaded the 11th by landing the cleaner shots in that round.

    Mayweather won and then dispatched him easily in the rematch
