Pick a fight we can all watch tonight.

I definitely thought Mayweather had an injured hand, and was trying to basically have a good 30-45 seconds at the start and end, with a little in the middle. I mean when you look at the fight, during the latter rounds, he throws mainly left hooks and jabs.

Meanwhile, Castillo was pressuring, making Floyd uncomfortable, and throwing and landing more in my eyes.

I didn't really have a problem telling if Castillo was landing or not. I watched the fight on youtube (I'm running out of space on my hard drive and need to burn my fights onto a DVD) and it was a good quality, how was the quality of the video you watched? I just pay a little extra attention when watching Mayweather as he's so adept at rolling the shots and catching them with his shoulder and he keeps his right high to block left hooks. Sometimes it can be hard to tell if shots are landing on him or not if you're not paying very close attention.

All in all I think you're right. It was a fight that I thought Castillo won, but you can certainly make a case for a close points win for Mayweather.

So what's on for tonight?

I seem to remember him complaining to Roger in round 1 or 2 about his shoulder, id say its conceivable that he had a hand or shoulder injury, so yeah.

I watched a low avi version of it but i seemed to score the fight the same as you so i must of have been given him the credit he was due. I guess what i mean is there were times when he(Castillo) and Mayweather exchanged punches but he landed counters himself in those exchanges, do you remember in one round where Lampley spoke of a nice right hand that Floyd landed on Castillo? but if you actually watch closely it was Castillo that landed a nice right hand on Mayweather.

How about we take a couple of fights off your list, start with MAB vs Morales fight then pick another from the ones you listed, i cant remember which page you listed them on so let me know what the others were.

I don't remember that specific moment that you mentioned about the right hands. I'll have to check it out again.

Sure, MAB-Morales I is good for tonight.

I also had Holyfield-Qawi I, Benn-Eubank II, and Watson-Eubank I. I'm leaning towards Benn-Eubank II, what are your thoughts?

Yeah i like the sound of that, Eubank vs Benn 2, MAB vs Barrera.

Yeah i like the sound of that, Eubank vs Benn 2, MAB vs Barrera.

I just started watching Barrera-Morales I. It's nice to have no school or work.

I just finished watching Barrera-Morales I.

1. Morales, 10-9
Close round. There were several exchanges during the round and both men landed hard shots. I gave it to Morales because during the last minute or so, he controlled the tempo and slowed the pace down.

2. Barrera, 10-9
Barrera began to close the gap and find his range. He landed hard left hooks to the body and stinging right crosses throughout.

3. Morales, 10-9
Morales controlled the first two minutes of the round, but Barrera came back and forced Morales into exchanges.

4. Morales, 10-9
Barrera had a nice flurry at the end of the round, but it was not enough for me to give him the round. Morales outworked him.

5. Morales, 10-9
Great round, very close. Morales landed several hard right hands and began to swamp Barrera, which put him on the defensive. Barrera came back and landed a hard right hand and after an exchange, a left hook. Morales looked wobbled by the hook, but I gave him the round because IMO, Morales did the better work throughout.

6. Barrera, 10-9
Close round. A pretty uneventful round considering the fight. Barrera takes it as he landed several clean, hard body shots.

7. Barrera, 10-9
Both men went to work on the inside, and both landed hard shots. Barrera takes the round due to the nice combinations he landed while Morales was on the ropes.

8. Barrera, 10-9
Close round. Barrera picked off more shots and landed the harder one too. Both guys landed during an exchange at the end.

9. Morales, 10-9
Another great, very close round. Barrera started well with hard shots that forced Morales to the ropes, but he faded quickly. Morales took over and controlled the majority of the round by jabbing and landing several hard right hands. Morales managed to cut the welt under Barrera's left eye during the round. At the end of the round, Barrera caught Morales lunging with his right hand, and landed a nice three punch counter that hurt Morales. Morales went to the ropes, and both men landed punches during the exchange that followed.

10. Morales, 10-9
Barrera came on strong during the round, but Morales landed hard right hands throughout.

11. Barrera, 10-9
Barrera managed to cut Morales, though it was nothing big. Barrera won the round by landing hard body shots and nice right hands.

12. Barrera, 10-8
There wasn't much in this round, until Barrera landed to hard left hooks that stunned Morales. Morales was "knocked down".

6-6, 114-113 Barrera with the knock down.

Obviously, a great fight. I don't think much has to be said about that.

So this is my fourth time watching this fight, but only the first I've ever scored it. It should've been a draw on my card, but the ref botched the "knock down" call. There were several close rounds, and a case can be made for either guy IMO.

Morales threw more, but had less sting on his shots. Barrera was more selective, but carried the power, as evidenced by the fact he hurt Morales more than Morales hurt him. I thought when ever it got to the inside, Barrera was better and was much better going down to the body.

I thought Morales traded too much and didn't jab and move enough, but part of that was because Barrera did a good job at talking and cutting off the ring.
