    The commentators thought so, the crowd who booed the decision thought so.
    The statistics show it. Another robbery!

    I'm glad you started a thread on this otherwise totally uncovered topic. Please start one on how Vitali was up on the cards against Lewis when he was stopped next. Cheers.

    They don't change decisions, no matter how much you cry. Jlc started too late. He was so far behind he couldn't catch up.

    He did well in the 2nd half but got handled so clearly through 7 there wasn't enough rounds without and kd's for him to win.

    Doing far better than expected sways peoples judgement. Fmj won too many rounds, sorry.

    You want to cry about any fmj decisions they only argument you have is the Chino 1 fight

    The majority feel Mayweather lost the fight, but he was up against an elite stylistic threat either way and beat him in the rematch convincingly so hey.

    I haven't watched the fight in a long time, there were posters who's opinions I respect who said Mayweather had a case for at least a draw even though Castillo also may have a case for a victory.

    One day I'll watch it again.

    1) you cant lose a fight if you win AT LEAST 6 rounds. And mayweather won rounds 1,2,3,4,5 and 10 (10 i thik it was, it is pretty obvious once you see it) without any doubt in that fight.

    2) another garbage thread about that again? I live in the F groundhog day, ffs.

    I had Castillo by a point but no robbery. Draw very possible. He got slight gift. Def not a Lewis Holyfield 1 type fight

    I usually agree with the majority, especially when robberies are concerned, but this is an exception. I scored it for Mayweather...I believe I had it 7 rounds to 5. Maybe I need to rewatch it and score again since I constantly hear people say Mayweather lost this fight.

    There is no crying involved here. Just an expression of an opinion.
    If you have a different opinion then that is OK by me.
    I haven't watched the Chino Mayweather fights entirely just portions of highlights.

    I honest to goodness remember scoring the 1st 5 rounds for Mayweather.. I'd have to watch the rest of it again.. But I think I had it a draw or 1 point for Castillo. Castillo worked Mayweather in the second half of the fight. 7-5 Mayweather/Draw/7-5 Castillo are all acceptable to me. 116-111 is ludicrous and those judges needed their license stolen

    Nah, I scored it the same way you did. Haters gonna hate, that's all. Most of the people you hear saying "floyd lost to castillo" have never even watched that fight, let alone score it.

    Whatever the result it was only right that they had a rematch
