Revisiting Castillo - Mayweather I

The fight wasn't all that close, yeah Castillo was applying pressure but he wasn't doing anything effective. Floyd was picking off most of his shots and beating him to the punch. Floyd used the ring to his advantage -- Castillo was walking into punches and was looking like DLH when he fought Floyd. 9-3 and if you factor in the point deductions then you get the score 116-111

 

You should watch the fight again without your floyd love glasses. Castillo landed a ton of effective shots to the body. The judges were just looking at the fighters heads and didn't give castillo credit for his body work.

 

fLOYD WON IT, BUT IT WAS CLOSE. 114-112 FLOYD. A DRAW IS PUSHING IT, AND 115-111 WAS A LITTLE SURPRISING, BUT FLOYD DEFINATELY WON IT. BY THE WAY HAS ANYONE ELSE NOTICED HOW THE SCORES IN THE SECOND FIGHT WERE SO CLOSE WHEN FLOYD PROBABLY WON 9 ROUNDS?

 

Couldn't have said it better.

 

Without a knock out to settle things, HBO went to the scorecards.

The Judge’s scores read as follows:
John Keane of England – 115-111 for Mayweather
Jerry Roth of Nevada- 115-111 for Mayweather
Anek Hongtongkam of Thailand-116-111 for Mayweather
Harold Lederman of HBO had it-115-111 for Castillo.
All the announcers, including Foreman had Castillo ahead.
My score was 116-111 for Castillo.

The audience booed the decision while Jim Lampley mentioned that he didn’t know what fight they (the Judges) were watching. He said it wasn’t the first time a decision like this was handed out. I knew it wouldn’t be the last. This is what happens in the absence of a legitimate National Boxing Commission. The Judges are obviously paid by the promoters who tell them how to score the fight regardless what actually happens in the ring.
As Larry Merchant conducted the post fight interviews, he asked Floyd whether he thought the fight was close toward the end when his corner asked him to stand and punch.
Merchant: In the last few rounds, you received instructions from your corner, your uncle, Roger, saying you had to stand and fight him. Were you under the impression that the fight was very close at that time and that you had to pull it out?
Floyd said, “First, before I even answer that question, I want to say, you know, you know, that GRANT Boxing makes the best Boxing gloves in the business and the best outfits in the business.”

 

I thought Mayweather won 115-111.

 

i didnt give castillo a round till the 6th as mayweather outboxed and controlled the early goings with his jab castillo came on in the middle-late rounds but mayweather did just enough. Castillo won the war but mayweather won the rounds

 

draw

 

Castillo won the first one and was destroyed in the second. But according to the judges he lost both.

 

People that readly know boxing.Know that Castillo won.

 

So those 3 professional judges don't know anything?

 

Castillo was not destroyed in the second. Mayweather pot-shotted and moved and won about 8 rounds to 4.

 

like we haven't seen any robberies in boxing. castillo clearly won the first fight.

 

I had the fight 114-112 for Castillo

 

The fight was 12 rounds, not 7.

Castillo did **** all in the first 5 rounds, and couldn't make up for this despite the strong finish.

The decision was fair.
