Just watched Mayweather v Castillo I (twice)

Your opinion had already been set on the fight after the first time ... Floyd did land the cleaner punches ... alot of Castillo's shots were getting caught on the glove or rolled off with the shoulder and turn of the head.

Did I mention that no time in that fight was Floyd hurt?

He did land more ... for 1/3 of the fight ... Floyd controlled the tempo with his jab and made Castillo more reluctant to come in with any bull****.

Floyd proved that he had the fight won to me when he began to engage Castillo and fought on the inside ... he did what it took and rallied at the end ... and get the points in my opinion.

When did Castillo have Floyd against the ropes and was attacking his rib cage? ... when did Castillo hurt Floyd? ... when did Castillo outbox FLoyd?

His aggression although very good ... wasn't effective at all ... he didn't wear Floyd down with body shots and he didn't gain any points when he was throwing that bull****.

YOu have to see what punches are landing ... what punches are effective ... thats how you score a fight ...

You also have to see how Floyd used the ring to his advantage ... how Floyd never got cornered or pinned at one time and took severe punishment. He also had Castillo moving ... thats good ring generalship.

 

Do you understand the concept of boxing?

You don't go by the crowd ... you don't have to hear thudding punches ... and you don't have to hear the commentary ... at times that can cloud you personal judgement.

I can't watch a fight more than once on mute though ... but to watch a fight w/ no distractions and no sound ... enhances you decisions on what you see.

You might not notice it but you may find yourself at times agreeing with the commentators ... even though they might be on some bull****.

Just like when I watched the Mijares v Navarro fight ... they made it seem like Navarro was doing something effective ... rather than Mijares making the neccessary adjustments.

or when I watched the Oscar v Forbes fight ... they were acting like Oscar was just dominating that fight ... when it was apparent that the fight really lacked action and was less than dramatic. And it wasn't a whitewash like the commentators suggested ... it was a closer fight than most expected but since it was Oscar they already had it figure out the outcome. Only way that Forbes couldve turned it around in their minds was to knock Oscar out ... not to box effectively, block, and counter.

 

Gambleer ... you must no know anything about boxing ... you score a fight with ... who's landing the cleaner shots ... defense ... effective aggressiveness and ring generalship.

A judge that judges most of his fights off effective aggressiveness scored it 116-111 for Mayweather ...

If you see past all of the bull**** in between and look for who's landing ... who's blocking ... who's using the ring to their advantage ... who looks outside their element ... who's tired - who's not ... who's making the neccessary adjustments.

Its more than just who's landing the harder shots ...

You don't know boxing ... i'm sure you look at boxing the same way Jim Lampley does.

 

Do you credit Floyd with the effective body punches that were landed during the first half of the fight ...

Did you add the fact that Floyd was beating Castillo to the punch ... did you add the fact that some of those punches that Castillo threw weren't effective ... did you add the fact that Floyd used the ring to his advantage and controlled the tempo of the fight all 12 rounds.

Did you add the fact that Floyd was making Castillo miss more times that he got hit?

Its not the same thing about Floyd ... its always something different.

I didn't mean to dispute you decision or you way of thinking after watching the fight over ... my fault ... but from my point of view ... thats what I seen ... a clear cut victory - UD ... 115-111
