The truth about Mayweather-Castillo, Mayweather - De La Hoya

[BmoreBrawler]

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

De la hoya clearly won the 12th.

Floyd beat him with one arm the first time. It was close, but Castillo lost the first five rounds. You mean to tell me he won every round after that?

Rematch was one-sided

good post, but like ive said millions of times, show me your Floyd vs Castillo scorecards and how u scored it round by round

Some of Floyd's fans here are actually intelligent and levelheaded dudes, but most are teenage ******s who are big into the hiphop scene and never even watched boxing. Hell, they probably never even watched Floyd fight prior to his fight with Henry Bruseles. Most of those dudes like to think that the first Castillo fight never happened.

Anyway, welcome to the site man. I'm picking Pavlik over Taylor as well.

And most of you(including yourself) who like to mention the first Castillo fight act like the second fight never happened,and are a bunch of Mayweather haters who burn crosses in their yard on their free time.

Lets be honest.Most of you who mention the first Castillo fight only do that to make pbf look bad cause thats the only ammunition you got.
