Castillo clearly beat Mayweather. I have watched this fight ten times. And no way can it be scored a Mayweather win. I have the utmost respect for Mayweather and think hes a supremely gifted fighter, the best in the world at the moment, but he didn't win that fight. As i have posted on my blog, the only reason i can see him winning is promotions and the ugly side of boxing.
As for the De La Hoya fight. De La Hoya has to be the laziest fighter in the late rounds, he had the chance to close it out from the 9th round on wards. And he stopped jabbing. Even amateaur boxers would have continued to jab. And all that not the night of the jab stuff, just tells me hes not mentally switched on for all 12 rounds. So De La Hoya only had himself to blame as coming into the 9th he was up by 2 rounds. Anyone who disagrees can watch the fight again. And in the last four rounds Mayweather wipped him.
Mayweather is a world class fighter. But the Castillo win can be put down to nothing that i can work out, but something i don't want to work out. If you catch my drift (having boxings interests on the line). And De La Hoya practically gave Mayweather the belts, and damaged his own legacy.
De La Hoya is one of my favourite fighters. Yet he is going to continue to fight for another 3 or 4 years, which is not a problem. The problem is him fighting only once or twice a year. Hes just asking for ring rust. And damaging a great legacy, one of the greatest legacies. As we speak he should be fighting Forrest. And then lining up a massive name next year.
Thats all for me, i hope you enjoy the read. Cheers everyone
