I was challenged to do this so I have: My Castillo-Mayweather I Scorecard

This is ESB and the ******ed explanation above you says it all. B/c Floyd did not hurt Castillo in that round he lost it or it was even. They say he didnt land ****....lol but you clearly see him landing multiple jabs to the body and head all landing clean and flush though they were not drastic power punches. He even countered with the jab to the face a few times. This is ESB. Whores cling to ***** made arguments.

 

.
Based on a head butt.

 

Prescott 97-92 last night is the worst I ever seen!!!

 

Why dont you prove that Castillo didnt hurt Floyd~ prove that this was a pre existing injury. Floyd is a professional and its his job to make sure if he is hurt to not take the fight, as he is doing right now with Marquez.
So all signs point to him being hurt in this fight by Castillo.
And of course your going to talk **** call me names all becuase I dont agree, Because I wont get on my knees and bow down for Floyd the way you do somehow that gives you a free pass to disrespect me, your a pathetic peice of ****, you dont like what I have to say disagree but do so with class, if you can not act like a grown man then do not respond to me at all.

 

Not if you have an IQ over 90. If you give 8 year old explanations I will treat you like such. I demote your ass to sub-****** level.

 

Prove it provide proof that Castillo didnt cause the injury and I will rest my case that simple I will retract my statements

 

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaHHHH :|

:| Bazookas not kissing Floyds ass the way I do :|

 

Points to factor in. Roger asked him to keep him in front of him with his jab. Floyd looked at him and Roger leaned in and after that roger said go paw on him switch then he said to massage his arm massage his arm. In rounds 1-2 Castillo did not land any shots on his ****ing arm. You provide the burden of prood that Castillo did hurt him you mental ****ing midget. I dont have to prove otherwise. atsch

 

Roger giving him instructions on how to fight with an injury is somehow proof that Castillo didnt hurt him?:huh

 

God damn you are a stupid mother****er. PROVE THAT HE DID YOU DUMB *****. :rofl What punch...when. You are ass betting. You are giving credit with no ****ing finances. What IS YOUR PROOF *****? :rofl My proof is that Floyd and CAMP said he had an injured Rotar cuff during training. Thats my ****ing proof. What you got? Either you provide evidence Castillo did I will take the fighter and camps word for it.

 

Europe KO1 Baltimore.

 

Floyd Mayweather W 12 Jose Luis Castillo
Date: April 20, 2002
Division: Vacant World Lightweight Title
Site: MGM Grand, Las Vegas Nevada

Before: After nine defenses of the WBC super featherweight title he won from Genaro Hernandez, Mayweather makes the first of what will eventually be many jumps in weight. It's as good a time as any, as he appears to have all but cleaned out junior lightweight. In his last fight, he stopped the excellent Jesus Chavez after the ninth round. Some recall that Chavez had periods of success getting inside against "Pretty Boy Floyd," trapping him on the ropes and in corners and hammering his body. But he was crude and under-powered. They wonder if Castillo, who employs a similar style but is far heavier-handed and also superior technically, will have more success. What nobody knows at the time is two days before the fight Mayweather injured his left shoulder while working on the heavybag. His physician diagnoses a strained rotator cuff and Mayweather keeps quiet about it but speaks disparagingly about Castillo, predicting an easy win.

Castillo is no soft touch. Once a primary sparring partner for the great Mexican champion Julio Cesar Chavez, he hasn't lost in four years and is riding a 13-bout unbeaten streak that includes a win over and a draw against the excellent Stevie Johnston. He's defended the WBC lightweight title he won against Johnston three times; against Johnston (D 12), Cesar Bazan (KO 6), and Sung-Ho Yuh (KO 1). He's also won non-title bouts against Freddie Ladd (KO 4) and Juan Angel Macias (KO 8). Nonetheless, he is a decided underdog in the days and weeks leading up to the fight and few among the fight media give him even a remote chance of scoring an upset. Most of the prefight talk centers on Mayweather's ascent toward the top of the pound-for-pound ratings.



"Mayweather did a good job at the beginning," Castillo tells KO magazine. "But it is a long fight and I was there for the whole time. And when I was doing all that work, what were the judges seeing?" Mayweather, of course, has a different take. "He's a strong guy, but he fought a one-armed fighter and he still lost. I showed a lot because I fought a great champion with one arm and I still won." During: Mayweather, 28-0 (20) starts quickly, out-speeding the slower Castillo and using his superior mobility to out-maneuver him. A head butt opens a small cut over Mayweather's left eye in the second, but does not slow him down. He appears to win the first four rounds fairly easily, jabbing Castillo regularly and landing counter right hands and left hooks almost whenever he wants to. Castillo lands a few body blows that appear to temporarily knock Mayweather off-stride, but gets little done otherwise and is clearly behind approaching the bout's midway point.

Starting in the fifth round, Castillo wakes up and begins to get more aggressive. Near the end of the round he shakes off a sharp one-two from Mayweather and wails his body until the bell sounds. Mayweather slows toward the end of the sixth and Castillo, 45-5-1 (41), accelerates. Over the next several rounds Castillo's aggression forces Mayweather more and more to the ropes, where he churns punches almost non-stop, mostly to the body. Mayweather never loses his cool and blocks and slips many, but some get through. The last several rounds feature more of the same: Castillo working primarily to the body, Mayweather countering exclusively to the head. At the end, judges Anek Hongtongkam, Jerry Roth, and John Keane score unanimously for Mayweather by scores of 116-111 and 115-111 (twice), respectively.

After: Many in the crowd of 6,920 boo the decision. The HBO crew is unanimous in its contempt for the outcome; Harold Lederman has Castillo winning 115-111. Expert commentator George Foreman, speaking of Mayweather, remarks, "I hope he said thank you." The Ring magazine has Castillo up by a score of 116-113 at the end, and CompuBox scores are overwhelmingly in Castillo's favor: they say he landed 203 blows to Mayweather's 157, and that he landed at a higher rate - 40 percent to Mayweather's 35 percent. He also is credited with having landed 173 power punches to Mayweather's 66. However, many in the boxing press support the decision, saying most of Castillo's blows were blocked or slipped and that his aggression was ineffective. Castillo disagrees.

"Mayweather did a good job at the beginning," Castillo tells KO magazine. "But it is a long fight and I was there for the whole time. And when I was doing all that work, what were the judges seeing?" Mayweather, of course, has a different take. "He's a strong guy, but he fought a one-armed fighter and he still lost. I showed a lot because I fought a great champion with one arm and I still won." Oscar De La Hoya, of all people, chimes in too: "Whenever you watch a fight you just can see it clearly who won, and I had Castillo up," he says. "Everybody who I talked to had Castillo winning." A rematch is a natural.

Epilogue: Mayweather and Castillo met again eight months later at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. Mayweather again started quickly and established an early lead that Castillo was unable to overcome. Castillo again got better work done in the latter stages of the fight, but couldn't put together the sustained drives that marked his better moments in the first fight. Mayweather was unspectacular, steady, and the clear victor, though, somewhat maddeningly, by scores closer than those tallied in the first fight: 116-113 and 115-113 (twice).



Wow what is this...an injury from training well before the previous fight.

 

Just re watched the 1st and 2nd round, no I didnt see anything that Castillo could have done to hurt the mans shoulder other than perhaps the few times they tied up it got hurt that way.

What I see in that first two rounds is a young Mayweather being tested by a tuff Mexican fighter and immediatly starting making excuses in the fight when he wasnt having his way early.

I honestly do not think Floyd had an injury going in, and I doubt he had an injury period what Floyd Mayweather had that night was the wrong type of game plan to fight Castillo! Not a god damn thing more.

 

This maybe true.

 

Well, seems as if the injury was talked about prior to the fight. Well. I guess they were just coming up with excuses prior to or maybe they just could of been telling the truth.
