Floyd Mayweather-discussion

I had it 7-5 for Mayweather.

 

The difference between Dough Fischer and everyone else is that he's a professional, so he has an obligation to stay objective about his work.

The same things aren't expected of fans, so they can be as biased as they please.

 

Didn't you read the hatery rule book. Any close Fight, and I mean ANY, that the fighter you hate wins is instantly a robbery. Doug has to remain somewhat objective or he won't have a job.

 

Thought Floyd eeked out the first fight, and then decisevly won the second. No robbery.

 

Castillo 1 was floyd's most important match.He has never learned more in a ring outside of his own gym.That was the fight where he learned that you don't surrender ground.Don't beat someone on the outside but give up insignificant punches on the inside,because they are technically still scores and show up on compubox.In fact he has become a little bit of a bully since that fight.

By the way,Floyd won that fight 5 to 4.The judges scores were off.Floyd won 4 straight,Castillo won 3 straight,castillio won another but lost a point in the round,9-9 round,floyd won the next but lost a point in the round,9-9 round,they fought to a tie in the 10th,floyd won the 11th and castillo won the 12th.

It wasn't so much controversial as it was a really good fight,and the crowd(Foreman,Lampley,Merchant and Lederman included)was very pro castillo.Apparently the judges weren't scoring the more insignificant tapping bodyblows in the nonstop clinch and maybe didn't like the turning behind mayweather and punching him the back crap,because they had mayweather by 4 and 5 points.They must've scored the even rounds to mayweather,I did not,to me they were even.

But anyway,that was his closest fight ever and he learned nearly all he would ever learn from an opponent again.There will be no manhandling mayweather.There will be no out landing him and there will be no out in-fighting him.He has become remarkably round and complete.Mayweather will only lose when he is out landed,out boxed,out brawled and out muscled.In other words it will take a big bodied master boxer at full middle weight.

 

I think Floyd lost the first Castillo fight; however, it was far from a robbery. I don't feel like a great injustice was committed when Floyd got the nod, I just don't necessarily agree with the decision.

 

i didnt think it was a robbery i scored it 115 - 111 mayweather people say castillo won it on body shots but i felt a lot of castillos punches were blocked and in my opinion a clean punch to the head scores more than a half blocked punch to the body i personally think people make such a fuss about this fight is because its the only fight floyd has been in thats been close (and yes i include his bout with oscar in that) floyd has decisively beaten every one else so if you want him to have lost this is the only fight you can reference but if you watch it closely castillo gives away the first 6 rounds and then in the final rounds especially round 11 forget lampley merchant and lederman having a fit cos floyd is fighting castillo's fight on the inside when they fought on the inside and floyd stood his ground floyd won he clearly wins round 11 but lederman is going ballistic just cos thre fighting inside its a castilllo round even though he's the one going backwards

 

To say that this fight was a robbery is like saying Paulie Malignaggi has hands of stone, Tommy Morrison has a chin of Iron, and George Foreman was feather fisted. were the score cards a bit wide, yes, was it the wrong result? no.

 

I'm a Mayweather fan but not a delusional one. I thought Floyd won comfortably.

 

obviously someone who has read the rule book.

 

If the scorecards weren't so off then people would have just brush this one under the rug considering it a close fight.

 

So True!!!!
