this thread maybe a few years too late, but i just watched that fight again, i had mayweather ahead and don't really see why it is such a BIG controversy.
(i'd just like to point out i am NOT one of these girly boys and rants on about how fantastic mayweather is)
I did not find the descion an unfair one.. a close win by either man or a draw was the right call.. The second fight settled it no??
Yeah. Floyd IS the better fighter and without a doubt beat him in the second fight. Im not a Floyd hater or a JLC fan. I just think JLC won the first fight. I thought one of the judges cards of 116-111 for Floyd was shocking.
Just from watching the fight who do you think won?
I just made a new thread with a poll if you want to reply in that one instead.
I've never seen the punchstats. Ive only watched the fight and i just cant see how people have Floyd winning.

One argument I always hear.. Is the compu Box stats.. which apparently had JLC outlanding mayweather by 100 punches and throwing 250 more..
Going on the common belief that aggression wins fights.. despite the less busy Guy having a much better landing %
taylor vs B-hop, De Leon vs Penolsa.. are 2 great examples of this..
One would conclude that Castillo should have won the 1st meeting..
I have however NEVER seen the punch stats.. and have never been given a Link that would substantiate those claims..

I had Floyd winning the fight. There was no robbery. My definition of a robbery is when the other guy(Castillo) CLEARLY WON the fight.
And whoever brought up Floyd's hands it wasn't his hand he had torn his rotator cuff at some point before the fight.
im sure jlc's stats were higher, but its not PURELY about aggression.
I would have prefered it if castillo did win, mayweather is a jumped up little girl.

yeah i had 114-112, and my scoring is generally pretty damn good.
and the clown who says JLC won 'without a doubt' is a fool.
Clown????
Haha, ok. Be sure to vote on my poll!

This actually makes me feel better about scoring the fight 114-112 for Mayweather. I actually do know that this man isn't even a Floyd fan, so it's not just people who like Floyd that think he won the fight.
Jesus, are you nuts? Do you really say to the press BEFORE the fight what are your weaknesses so your opponent can pick them up? I've yet to see a fighter point out his weaknesses (read injuries) before a fight.
People's inability to score fights indeed!!!!
anybody who has Floyd winning that CAN NOT score fights.
JLC beat Floyd that night without a doubt!!
ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY!
r u kidding u had floyd winning ?
did u hear the press?
and that hand shit was bullshit cuz b the fght he said his hands never felt better
he jus culdnt take his ass whoopin like a man
It was a close fight. To claim "without a doubt" is ignorance and retardation. You got blinders on to the world, son.
OK, without a doubt in MY mind. Is that better?
If Floyd didn't have the point taken off him then it would have been a closer call yes, but he did. I had JLC winning by atleast 2 rounds.

People's inability to score fights. It was close, but Mayweather won. Boxing is scored round by round... round by round. People get caught up in their own bull shit and who they're rooting for instead of scoring fights properly.
