Just watched Castillo Mayweather 1

You are right it does matter, but you must put it in the perspective of judging a boxing match. Hindsight is 20/20, but you don't have punch stats while judging.

You have to watch the round and know who is being "effective" and enforcing their will regardless of the number of punches thrown. You can even make the case that the number even landed doesn't matter.

Disclaimer - That is in no way a comment on the match being discussed. Just a comment on punch stats.

 

:good. I like Floyd (Castillo too but Floyd more) but he got his ass beat in the later rounds and I scored it 115-111 for Castillo. Funny how people are always bringing up the rematch when this thread is about FLOYD-CASTILLO 1! Now that's what I call denial. Off topic but with Leonard/Hagler I like Hagler more but scored the fight 115-114 Leonard.

 

I am just saying for us fans, it's a good tool.
Most importantly... jab counts.

And it showed the second time, how much better floyd will do with a working left shoulder and jabs.

 

Floyd

 

If you gave credit to castillo for everytime he mistaked the fight for a wrestling match then I can see how you gave him fight#1. If you actually look at who is landing better shots in the boxing match that is suppose to be happening then you give it to floyd.

 

That broad in your avatar is perfect btw.....proof that there is a God.

 

Okay well, punch stats disagree.
Castillo threw and landed more punches, so I guess if you want to be biased, floyd.
If you want to judge a boxing match, castillo.

 

If you are a floyd hater, Castillo.

If you watched the fight without sippin on Haterade, floyd.

 

Exactly, ask them to prove it it was clear that Floyd lost and he did no better the second time around

 

Floyd was poppin castillo all night. Everytime castillo got close he looked sloppy and just hugged up on floyd and throw a couple of hugged up punches. The punches that castillo were landing were garbage punches. I don't see what people have been watching.

 

Blah blah blah...
Watch the fight, score it, and post your score.

 

You have a point, especially when punch stats are very close like both Pac-Marquez fights (Marquez landed 12 more punches than Pac in the 2nd fight). Not the case with JLC-FMJ fight. The punch stats were night and day between the 2. Just listen to the HBO staff's reaction after the decision was announced, "...not the fight we saw...".

 

Yep, It is....About 8 years!!!!!

 

You don't score a fight with punch stats. Punch stats are IRRELEVANT when scoring a fight. They literally mean nothing. They are after-the-fact estimations of how many punches landed.

To emphasize: Punch stats are not to be used for scoring.

 

Punch stats are for show. They are interesting but do not cross over into fight scoring. They do not "help the case" for a fighter to win a fight. They do not measure how clean or effective a punch was, or the damage it did, or whether the fighter was acting as the ring general in the round, etc.. The list goes on.
