Every time I watch Mayweather-Castillo I, it becomes more clear JLC won.

I agree, A good left hook to the ribs should be in no way classed second rate to that of a left hook to the jaw!

 

And this would be the point of the OP, shitty judging in this fight.

Any judge who favors head shots over body shots as a whole should not be a judge, period. Because in essence, this judge is walking into a fight such as PBF vs (insert body puncher here) with a predetermined scoring system which favors PBF.

And this could be applied vice-versa as well.

 

Exaclty, and it all depends on the quality of the shot. I have no problem with sharp punching to the head being favored to sloppy body work, or with a consistent body preasure being favored over weak or innacurate head work.

Its all about who puts in the better work, simple as that.

And to say head punching is more meaninful as a whole is to negate the syles of too many boxers.

Hell if this is the case I suppose fighters should no longer put an emphasis on body work.

 

Castillo won the fight:deal but the fight was in the U.S Floyd is an American, and Castillo from Mexico who dosen't speak english, so it's not hard to figure out who is gonna get the benefit of the doubt! the judges had their heads up their asses and ripped off Castillo..

By the way to the previos poster body shots are just as effective to the judges as head shots, and take a harder toll on the receiving fighter the longer the match goes..

 

While no one disputes thisin theory, the history of fight judging proves this is not true.

 

If you want to say Castillo won, that's fine. However, your reasoning is flawed. DLH is American, Trinidad is from Puerto Rico and doesn't speal English. The fight was in America. How come Tito received the controverisal decision?

 

Well the poster I originaly responded to does, and thus my arguement.

 

I had Castillo winning, comfortably. Don't remember my score card.

But in fairness to Floyd he knew that the descison was contraversal and he won the rematch clearly.

 

Don King

 

The first time I saw Castillo-Mayweather I wasnt into boxing yet and I thought Castillo whooped him. The next times I watched it I had it closer 7-5 Castillo.

 

Head shots are worth way more than body shots! When Hatton KO'd Castillio the judges told him he could continue once he was ready because it was only a body shot. Castillo, not wanting to be embarrased by excrement running down his leg, did not take up the judges on their offer. A shame really

 

Hatton - Magee wasnt contraversial....Hatton - Collazo was though

 

It was not that questionable but it was competitive. Mayweather tried to impose his jab in the center of the ring but JLC fought on equal terms until he got thumbed in the eye by accident in the second round... Then, I saw Castillo mounting on the pressure and Mayweather cruising too much, but JLC doing a lot of ugly things like low blows, holding and hitting, rabbit punching and Vic Draculich just took a point away from him, would take another from Floyd for that famous left forearm defense of his in the 10th if I can recall... But the way Floyd finished the fight with good 11th, 12th rds never could Castillo have won or have drawn that one... Well, I can't go on much further since the thread starter believes I am tryin to impress someone ( others state that I have just seen Mayweather against De La Hoya). Oh, well...

 

Don King! and De La Hoya DIDN'T FIGHT the last 3 or 4 rounds of his fight with Tito he just kinda gave up and didn't want to fight he blew it big time:deal

 

What a suprise, the fighters actually played a big factor in deciding who won the fight. Bob Arum is a pretty prominent promoter, and Top Rank co-promoted the fight, so I doubt Don King was able to pay off thee judges. You hit the nail on the head with the part that I highlighted. DLH lost that fight because he didn't impress the judges enough, that's also the reason Castillo lost. All this crap about him being Mexican and not being able to speak English had no bearing on who won the fight.
