    I'm not concerned over who you scored the fight for. It was a close fight and scoring it for either guy is acceptable.

    The fact is that you don't understand how to score a fight and you've demonstrated that repeatedly in this thread. Punch stats are not for use in scoring a fight. They are for entertainment and interest's sake.

    I never said it had any bearing. Judge's scoring are final and are the only thing that counts in determining the winner of the fight. Unfortunately, judges don't always do a great job, and at times in history, have been bought off. Not saying this is the case here, but it's happened before. Roy Jones Jr. in 1988 Seoul Olympic gold medal fight. Look it up.

    Close my ass.
    Floyd didn't do **** but get bulled against the rope and beat up.
    He lost.

    Watch the fight objectively for once in your floyd dick sucking life.

    1. Do your own research and let me know how it goes. Be sure to provide a source. Or don't waste your energy since it would be irrelevant even if you did manage to dig up a stat. Fights are judged on an individual basis and the historical ratio of fighters winning with inferior punch stats bears no relevance beyond entertainment and interest value.

    2. Try to be more specific. All I can reply to that is: Clean effective aggression counts, punch stats do not.

    Didn't Clottey just lose to Cotto like that?

    Again, not speaking on this specific fight because it was settled in a rematch, but talking about punch stats is like talking about instant replay in a sport with no instant replay. Sure, you can make a different call looking at the tape, but in the heat of the action, you may or may not notice something. The ref/judge does not have that option.

    Punch stats are ONLY for fan enjoyment. Nothing more. Nothing less.

    Why are you referring me to Roy Jones in the Olympics? It has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that punch stats are not relevant in boxing.

    I never denied that judges sometimes make mistakes and do a poor job. Your point about judges sometimes being paid off, again, has nothing to do with the topic. Try to stay on topic.

    The punch stats only confirm that floyd lost.
    If you're not a boxing fan, and you idolize floyd, of course "he won a close decision"

    Anyone else just thinks "vegas robbery"

    Out of curiousity, did Castillo get points on your card for "bulling"?

    Punch stats don't confirm anything, they bear no relevance as to how a fight should be scored.

    JMM pac 1 by a mile.

    There isn't even a question if castillo won the first fight.
    I honestly don't even think the DLH SD is right, I thought floyd took it, but he got a gift vs castillo.

    Any floyd fan can argue, but when your post history isn't "floyd is the best boxer ever" then maybe I will take you seriously

    Sorry Marnoff, Eze, Jacory, Nallege, Rudyard, PimpC, SDSfinest, Rooney
    Can't take your opinion seriously.

    Topic is boxing. Judges => part of boxing. Off topic would be MMA or this weekends super bowl.

    It's a shame he didn't lose, he might have been less tentative in later years.

    It's also a shame that all anyone ever wants to talk about is how he got beat up in this fight, not how he took an immediate rematch and won it convincingly. People wonder why he has a chip on his shoulder, but damn, the guy goes to war with Castillo, gets a debatable decision, rematches him immediately, beats him convincingly, and instead of getting praise for taking a rematch he didn't need people give him stick because they think he deserved to lose the first fight.

    If you want to know at what moment the exciting Mayweather of the lower weighclasses became the cautious, tentative, one-shot-at-a-time Mayweather of more recent years it was probably right around then.
