Does anyone here feel that JLC wasn't the best L.W, Casamayor was?

I had Casamayor beating both JLC/ Acelino Freitas. JLC i agree but i think Popo did just enough with the KD or point taken, i cant remember.

Well I had it a draw. While the KD wasn't really a big true KD it was scored. Casamayor gave to many rounds early on. That wasn't a K.D and the point deduction was bullshit, that punch didn't even hurt Acelino. Acelino played it off as soon as the ref looked his way. That was a clear victory for Casamayor. You have gotta learn what a KD is and it doesn't matter if the punch hurted the fighter or not. The fact is that Casa threw and landed a punch after a clear break twice. Casa needed to win eight rounds to get the decision since he didn't scored KDs or Freitas had points deducted and there is no way Casa won more than seven rounds.

JCL was definitely the best LW at the time. He just went through his competition like a hot knife through butter (for the most part).

That wasn't a K.D and the point deduction was bullshit, that punch didn't even hurt Acelino. Acelino played it off as soon as the ref looked his way. That was a clear victory for Casamayor. Big NO. Could have gone either way.

That's right. Casa did a great effort in the 2nd half of the fight and finished stronger. But it was too little too late for a fighter who gave away soo many early rounds, was knocked down and had a point deducted.

But it was too little too late for a fighter who gave away soo many early rounds, was knocked down and had a point deducted. I really can't argue no decision in that fight as long as it's close. Casa could have won,Popo could have(and did) and it could have been a draw. The fight literally could have gone either way. I thought it was a draw.It was a very good fight between 2 very good fighters in their primes.

Casa was one of but the Castillo fight I had Castillo up slightly but it was very close. I don't think if Casamayor was prime that Marquez would have KO'd him, Casa was definately on a major slide he never would have had that much trouble from Katsidis in his prime, I don't think Santa Cruz would have beaten him in his prime either (Santa won that fight by a wide margin but was robbed)

No way that is a draw. That point dedution/ K.D was bull. How the hell did you think Casa beat Freitas ? Casa gave away so many early rounds. Freitas won clearly rounds 1, 2 and 3. Rounds 4 and 5 could easily have gone to him and most thought Freitas won them. Casa turned the fight after the 5th but he didn't win every round after that. Freitas won clearly the 8th and arguably the 10th. The KD was controversial but it was technicaly a KD. Freitas hit Casa with a punch and Casa went down. And the point deduction was fair. Everyone knows Casa is a dirty fighter and used his dirty tricks (headbutts, holding, wrestling, punches after breaks) all night. He hit Freitas in the 6th with a punch after a clear break and was warned by the referee. A few seconds later he did the same thing and a point was deducted. Not even Goosen, who was Casa's trainer complained and in the corner, he said: "Joel, you've gotta stop hitting him after the breaks". I had 114-112 for Freitas, by the way. The best I could see for Casa is a draw.

No way that is a draw. That point dedution/ K.D was bull. Well I had it a draw. While the KD wasn't really a big true KD it was scored. Casamayor gave to many rounds early on.

oh look, El Dominicano is siding with the black fighter we haven't witnessed this for what? 4 minutes. this must break some sort of record.

No, because I haven't seen it. :lol1: SOB! :rofl:

I thought Castillo beat him very narrow. Had Casa and Popo a draw. No way that is a draw. That point dedution/ K.D was bull.

Well, The record books say JLC beat Casamayor. Is that what you saw?

I had Casamayor beating both JLC/ Acelino Freitas. I thought Castillo beat him very narrow. Had Casa and Popo a draw.

Castillo beat Casamayor. I had Casamayor beating both JLC/ Acelino Freitas.

JLC's wins, at Lightweight, are better than Casa's though I would have loved to see their awesome fight twice.

I always had a hard time taking Casamayor seriously especially after the JLC fight. Peace.

Castillo beat Casamayor.
