    Calling severe BS on those punch stats, Castillo didnt do much for the first 5rounds, and wasnt landing with near the same level of accuracy

    from the compubox folks...

    Castillo landed 173 of 377 (46%) power shots to just 67 of 152 (44%) for Floyd. After outlanding Castillo 48-27 in first 4 rounds (swept rounds on all cards), Mayweather was outlanded in every round after, including 26-11 in round 7, 35-20 in round 11. Castillo also had edge in power connects in every round.

    Regardless, Castillo was the boss in that fight after giving up the first four rounds. I would not call it "a robbery" but I did score it for Castillo. I think Floyd was given a lot of love by the judges in this one.

    I gave an example with his weighing in on the morning and fighting at night. He could have very well been 165-170, if not more. Hatton was past his best weight at 147, and weighed I think between 148-150 for the Pac fight.

    You have to remember that if we gave LaMotta this advantage than Floyd is in even more trouble. Jake would have been a SM if they had a division back in the day.
