Is Castillo the only one who has ever beaten Floyd by Compubox numbers?

    I was sure that Floyd had won every fight of his career by Compubox numbers because he has a great defence and is a very, very accurate puncher.

    However, the copy of the first Castillo-Mayweather fight I have cuts off after the scores are announced, but my mate showed me his copy with the Compubox statistics which follow. I was SHOCKED to see that Castillo pretty much torched the Pretty Boy on Compubox numbers that night:


    TOTAL PUNCHES

    Castillo
    Thrown: 506
    Landed: 203
    Connect Percentage: 40%

    Mayweather
    Thrown: 448
    Landed: 157
    Connect Percentage: 35%


    POWER PUNCHES

    Castillo
    Thrown: 377
    Landed: 173
    Connect Percentage: 46%

    Mayweather
    Thrown: 151
    Landed: 66
    Connect Percentage: 44%



    When I saw that Floyd had been beaten on percentages I was... :yikes

    When you consider how widely he dominated Marquez, Hatton, Corrales etc, I was just accustomed to thinking Floyd always took Compubox numbers on a landslide. Even in his fairly close fights like De La Hoya, I'm pretty sure PBF still easily wins on percentages because he is so elusive and precise.

    Questions:

    1.Has anyone else ever beaten Floyd on Compubox numbers over an entire fight?

    2.What did Castillo do that so many others have failed to do? Why was he able to hit Floyd cleanly and not take as many back?

    3.Does this offer hope to Shane Mosley (if he and Floyd fight), or will Floyd's style overcome Mosley like it has so many others?

    :good

    1. No
    2. Castillo fought a floyd with an injured hand and this was also floyd's first first fight at 135
    3. No, it doesn't, and its the same situation with hatton. Everyone seems to be forgetting how hatton talk about the castillo blue print, for that to work floyd needs to enter the bout with injured hands as well:rofl

    if mosley relies on this castillo blueprint he gonna get hattoned! lol:lol:

    Compubox isn't some infallible technology. It's actually just people with computerized counters and it's totally fallible. So I don't put too much into it.

    I detest Compubox truth be told, but I still found it very strange that Floyd has lost a fight by Compubox numbers. His defence and accuracy usually see him winning the statistical side by a landslide.

    Well the points that were made above are pretty much what I'd say. Mayweather's just stepping up to lightweight, injured, and against a helluva tough fighter in Castillo. I dislike Mayweather but he fought when it couldn't have been easy, did well, probably should've lost but immediately came back to answer the question of who was better.

    sorry for not answering your questions.

    It will give Mosely some encouragement psychologically but won't have any bearing a Mosely-Mayweather fight.

    If you think that Floyd can KO Mosley with a check hook you are extremely delusional.

    cant use compubox as an accurate measure of who won the fight...look at the numbers vs de la hoya, yet many will claim that the fight was close but the compubox stats tell a different story...its also kind of hard to even look at those to determine a fight because... say for instance floyd won 2 rounds landing only 10 shots in each, and then he lost 2 landing only 5 in each (30 punches total). then say castillo went thru those same four rounds landing 6, 8, 18, and 13 shots. That would be a total of 45-30 for castillo. Say all 12 rounds went this way (split into three, four round segments), it would be castillo 145 to floyds 90 landed...but the fight would be a draw based on rounds...just picked some random numbers, but i hope the point is clear.

    Mayweather had a torn rotator cuff in that fight, not injured hands, and most of Castillo's lands for body punches, I don't know if Floyd's mobility was compromised but it was clear he couldnt counter and fight inside as effectively as he wanterd to. And I believe it is the only time Compubox has not favored Floyd, maybe the other time it was as close, but still in Floyd's favor, was when Floyd fought Jesus Chavez I believe before Shields stopped the fight.

    The thread isn't actually about who did or didn't win the fight amigo, I haven't made any comment on that issue, I'm focusing on the fact that Castillo did win by Compubox numbers, and asking if anyone else has managed to beat PBF on Compubox or not. I had just taken it as red that Floyd had always won and usually won big via Compubox, with the Oscar fight in mind.

    this is true, i was just making the point that the numbers arent reliable...i was just saying that its quite conceivable that someone be dominated in the compubox stats and actually win a fight...maybe not the war, but the fight....but yes it is the only fight i can recall that he did not dominate the punchstats.

    Castillo beat UglyBoy's ass first time!!!
    That's why GayWeather WILL NEVER FIGHT MARGO OR WILLIAMS!!!
    These two got similar pressure fighting style as Castillo, but they are bigger, stronger and tougher then Castillo, and got very, very durable chins!!!
    So, that *** only came back cause these two are not in the division right now!!!
    But I'm sure Sugar-dude can pull it off, just need to bring Nazim Richardson with him!!!

    Right you are. Personally, I'd have to leave out the slanderous names against Floyd, but the general idea is spot on. I believe this is EXACTLY why Floyd never faced Margarito. Margarito HAD the perfect style to beat Floyd. Not only did Margarito have the perfect blueprint to follow Castillo's gameplan, but he had the same blueprint on a larger scale, with a better chin, endurance, and cement hands (literally). I believe Floyd is much stronger now than he was then, as well as a little smarter, more clever, creative and a tad bit more skilled, so I think he would dominate Margarito today. Still, let's face it, he is brilliant for choosing the path he chose.

    As for the fight itself (the first one, Floyd got him the second time around), Castillo damaged him with pressure, pressure and more pressure. Those compubox stats make perfect sense, however accurate or inaccurate. They summarize the fight real well. Castillo landed punches wherever he could land them, which apparently racked up compubox numbers, while Floyd landed crisp, clean, definitive punches that, in this particular case, caught the eyes of the three judges that happened to be there that night. At the time, I saw the fight very close to even (I sure as hell didn't see it 116-111, 115-111, 115-111, and what's funny is that the scores in the second fight were much closer, as if they were trying to make up for the lopsided scoring in the first one), but the majority of people I talked to afterwards thought Castillo downright won that fight. Aside from Castillo winning the compubox battle, he also came forward the whole night while Floyd backpedalled. Of course, a couple different circumstances that have already been mentioned above gave Floyd some disadvantages, but I don't see how that should reflect the judges scoring, as if they were scoring it with a handicap in mind. I know the thread isn't about all this, but I just had to get it in there.

    Back to the topic....I seriously doubt anybody ever came anywhere near Floyd's compubox output in any other fight, but if I had to throw one out there, maybe De La Hoya?
