    I score the fight for Floyd. Very close and either way wouldnt be anything worth arguing over.

    I'm pretty sure the first 5 rounds are floyd rounds. Meaning you would have to be certain than jose won the last 7 rounds to call it a robbery.

    It was a close one. I had it for floyd by one round based on his jab mostly but it could definitely have been Castillos fight. I don't think it was as controversial as people make it out to be.

    Being a Mayweather fan back then I thought Castillo won and should have been given the verdict.

    I scored the first fight even, it was all Floyd to start then Castillo came right into it

    It was a very competitive fight with several close rounds, I wouldnt argue with any result but did Floyd injure his shoulder during the fight?

    This was the closest anyone has come to beating Floyd professionally & their second fight had a much clearer result

    Yes but sometimes decisions dont go your way, thats boxing for you. At least Floyd left no doubt to who the better fighter was by beating Castillo clearly in the rematch.

    Nope.

    I had the fight 113-113 (point deductions included). There are a couple of very close rounds in the fight (5th and 11th, particularly), but Mayweather has a strong argument for at least one of them (I tend to give him the 11th due to cleaner effective punching, and Castillo the fifth- although JLC begins to come on in that round).

    The scorecards may have been unjustifiably wide, but I don't have any issue with the result. Could have gone either way, and it happened to go Mayweather's. These things happen.

    literally any decision would have been fair in this one. except scoring it for julian jackson. cause he wasn't even in that fight

    True, but he ended up doing the job, only to get screwed.

    yeah, i had it for castillo to. it's weird: it's not like the judges were pro-mayweather at that time or anti-castillo but the score just sucked ass

    I always liked Castillo...and I don't hold that Hatton ko against him...it was a freak shot against a past it Castillo.
