How did you score Mayweather vs Castillo 1?

I actually wish Mayweather would of lost this fight. To me he is a great fighter but the whole "0" loss obsession on his part and his fans turned him off to many people and started the whole tbe nonsense. If he had lost this fight I wonder how his career would of played out. Too many guys today following in his footsteps trying to protect the "0" I think it's become bad for the sport.

 

All that happened almost a decade later.. The TBE talk is as recent as the Ortiz fight.. People been saying he's 'protecting' his 0 only after it was clear that no one was going to beat him.. He made almost everyone he fought look stupid, so his critics say it was a cherry pick no matter if they, the fans and critics, wanted the fight or not...

 

I'm Aware Tbe nonsense started at a much later date from the Castillo bout but "0" gave ammunition to his critics for turning down the 8 million to fight Margarito or the 5 years too late Manny bout. Had Castillo received this decision, as i thought he should, perhaps Floyd doesn't receive as much criticism down the road or perhaps he accepts the Margarito fight or the Manny fight happens in 2012. We'll never know. However the "0" helped him financially because his style was not fan friendly or engaging to casual fans. In the end ppl tuned in hoping he would lose, many felt he did cherry pick but it lined his pocket the image

 

7-5 for Castillo but very close.

Rd9. Even. Roughly even punches landed. Ref spoils most of the action.

Rd10. Castillo2. Mayweather had the best of the early part of the round but Castillo got the last half. Then the ref deducted a point from Mayweather for elbows and shoving, but it was probably to even things and for Mayweather hitting after the bell in the previous round. Also, he should have given castillo a warning for punching Mayweather in the back.

Second Partial Viewing:

R1: Looked like a Floyd round. I counted 12 punches landed for Floyd. He was missing a lot and most of the punches were just scoring and not doing damage but 3 or 4 were real effective punches.

Now I'll watch the round focusing on Castillo. I saw a lot of stuff missing or being blocked. 7 punches landed only one with any mustard on it. A real feel 'em out round. Still a Floyd round.

Announcers say that Castillo threw 27 punches and landed 3. So either they are overestimating Floyd's defense or 4 of the punches I saw land were blocked.

R2: It looked like Mayweather landed 16 shots this round. Castillo slipped. A headbutt. Hard thudding shots by Castillo caught my eye. Now to rewatch looking for Castillo's action. Castillo only scores once in the first minute. Scores again before the headbutt. I count 15 punches total for Castillo including those ones in the middle of the round that someone yelled out “Damn!” and you heard them thudding across the ring. Several of his punches weren't pretty since he was whacking Mayweather to the body while clinched, but they still did damage. Based on those powerful shots around 1:17 on the clock I'd give the round to Castillo.

According to HBO Mayweather has landed 20 of 70 29%, Castillo has landed 12 of 59 20%. Probably not counting the punches in the clinch.

R3: 14 punches landed for Floyd. He's targeting the body with jabs which is strange for him, since he's usually a headhunter. Still, not a lot of hard shots thrown. Now watching Castillo. Nothing landed the first minute. At 1:20 on the clock Castillo backs Mayweather into a corner clinches and punches head and body. I only saw 6 punches land for Castillo, and the only effective ones were around the 30 second mark, a clear Floyd round.

It was a clear win for Castillo....................

 

Put this to sleep already... Who cares... This was ages ago.. 1st one was close... Second once not even close...

 

Mayweather 114-112

 

114-112 Mayweather

Watched it a half dozen times start to finish scoring... Not a good watch.

 

It was a body vs. head fight. Floyd barely landed a body punch while Castillo barely landed a head shot.

 

12-0 Castillo.
