    This. Floyd easily won the first 5 rounds. Castillo didn't win the next 7.

    I thought Castillo scraped 7 but it was very close. The rematch settled any doubt even though it was also a difficult fight for Floyd in a different way.

    Anybody calling this a robbery is a fool. Could've gone either way. But JLC has himself to blame. He gave away the 1st half of the fight

    I think it's possible to come up with seven for either fighter, depending on how you score rounds 5 and 11. I scored it for Floyd 114-112, but a draw of 114-112 score for Castillo is within the realm of possibility. Certainly not a robbery, either way.

    Maybe you should watch in ultra slow/stop motion. I bet Pac lands punches in this fight too. LOL

    That's only valuable when the landing isn't clearly visible which tends to be the case with Pac fights.

    As soon as I heard the word "Unanimous" instead of split decision I assumed that there was something wrong,

    Couldn't agree more and so do the majority of boxing fans. And Castillo got the better of that fight fair and square. He didn't have to come in 20lbs past the weight limit, hold and low blow his way to a victory ;)

    Millions like you, who has no F idea about this sport? I dont give a damn about what you or people like you think. Probably even you yourself have never F scored that fight, and even if you ever did (which I repeat I doubt) you probably have no F idea about how to score a fight.

    Every single comment you post about this sport is more idiot than the previous one, why would I care about you or what people like you think about? nah, I dont care, dude, if you know how to score a fight you know that floyd didnt lose that fight.

    That only means that there is something awry which is drawing boxing-fan attention to that particular fight. You know, like the attention that the Long-Count fight between Dempsey and Tunney evoked? Other fights that have similarly provoked unusual attention are the Ward Kov and the Pac Horn fights. That's because fans feel cheated when judging seems to indicate bias and collusion or sheer negligence due to incompetence.

    I love how punch stats don't count in this fight or when it's convenient to peoples arguments but when saying how bad may beat pac they say look at the punch stats. lol
