It's true. Remember seeing a replay with French commentators who seemed to be outraged at the decision. Crowd factors in too. I thought Mayweather clearly won.
atsch Alot of reasonable boxing fans gave the fight to PBF. You just discredit them when they give their opinion because you hate PBF.
I'm a Mayweather fan, but im not obsessed by him like some people on this forum. I had Mayweather winning, the most I could give Castillo was a draw. And I actually thought Castillo was going to either get the win on the night, or a draw whilst they were waiting for the judges (and it was a close fight so couldn't really argue). But after watching it again with the sound off, I had Mayweather winning by 1 round, if I remember rightly.
I don't hate PBF, I just hate his nut sucking fans. I understand how talented he is. I get it. But stop pretending like he is the second coming of SRR.
This fight is old and its not even controversy !!! Mayweather won the fight hands down and what people fail to realize is that was May first fight at 154 !!!!
All i know is that this fight made me hate larry merchant more and more. You can clearly tell that he hates on everything that mayweather does. And even though oscar was on the back end of his career, he was still dangerous. MErchant doesnt give mayweather credit for anything. Yet for someone who never been in the ring he has so much to say about the strategy that team mayweather decided to use.
Wrong he was very active, he just stopped throwing the jab. That is the type of comment that Larry Merchant would say to just discredit floyd. And you dont have to be a nuthugger to say it was masterful. Oscar is a GREAT boxer who got in the ring and could not stick to the game plan so how can you say what floyd did wasnt masterful if someone like oscar couldnt stick to his gameplan against him.
Dont watch. You cant knock a man for fighting they way that he feels he has to to win...especially if you are behind the tv screen. Rather than bash clottey's annoying inactivity in fights... I just dont watch and i am never annoyed by him.
LukeO are you SURE you dont hate mayweather? Naw i feel you because I love mayweather, but that dude Jacory Harris almost made me go against mayweather because he doesnt seem like he likes mayweather for boxing reasons. I guess its like how i am with pacquiao. His fans make me go ugh, but the real reason why sometimes i am against pacquiao is the people who surround him and the fact that he doesnt speak up for himself, which to me means he might as well being the one saying the bull**** that arum and roach say. Them two are the reason that i sometimes am against pac and he just lets them say what ever and pick whoever and that is what will hurt him. I understand you let the promotors do the pickn and you just fight, but when you have someone like arum, there is no way as a fighter that you will be benefited.
it wasent realy close but if you let the "oohs and ahhhs " of the crowd efect your decision like i suspect the judges may have then it tightens up the scores but you still have mayweather as the winner
