Roger Comments on Mayweather-Castillo 1

[Addison]

i think people just remember floyd more or less neutralising castillo, however, they forget floyd was doing very little himslef in the second fight.....still a clear victory for floyd though...but not a blow out...

the first fight is also a close but clear fight but for castillo...

Agreed, and well stated. ^

[PeROxiDE]

A close fight, whether Mayweather was injured or not he still SHOULD HAVE lost. Just watched the tape I have of the fight, couldnt remember it that well, and I scored it 114-116 for Castillo, a narrower margin than I had it the last time, but a victory nonetheless. Anyone who CLAIMS to have scored it for Mayweather in an honest and unbiased fashion is a liar.

Edit: Decided to post my scorecard for the fight:

PBF 10 10 10 10 10 9 9 9 10 8 9 9
JLC 9 9 9 10 10 10 10 9 10 10 10 10

Although I'm not really a fan of a drawn round, some of those rounds were too close to pick a winner. Castillo won round 8 but was deducted a point so I scored it 9-9.

Here is my scorecards, I got PBF won 7 rounds to 6. The worse would be a draw for PBF.

"And I’m going to show you why I’m going to whip his ass like I did the first time."

What a crock, look at Floyd's face at the end of the first Castillo fight, he KNOWS he lost. It was criminal what happened that night, Castillo CLEARLY won 6 rounds, Floyd CLEARLY won only 3, and 3 were pretty close. All Castillo needed was those 6 rounds to be scored fairly and he would have kept his title. The judges, who scored the fight 8 and 9 rounds to Mayweather, were clearly, either watching a different fight, or were paid off.

Ugh.

Floyd won 4 of the first 5 handily. Castillo came on late, but not enough to overcome the deficit. The best you could've argued it for Castillo was a draw in my opinion, and this is coming from someone who was going for Castillo at the time. I had Floyd by two points.

And he clearly won the rematch to settle all arguments.

You gave Castillo a 10-8 round and you're calling anyone who gave it to Mayweather biased? LOL.

Floyd held his own against a p4p champion with one hand. He didn't win (It was more like a draw), but he redeemed himself in the rematch.

[El Jesus]

I know someone people will read this post and say 'your just a hater'. Thats right I am, I love the respect side of the game, the honour, Floyd has none of this. He don't even respect Hall of Famers before his era. I can't understand what type of person would defend this ass.

he always says he respects guys like ali, ray robinson and leonard, he just thinks he is better than them skillwise, which he is entitled to do weather you like it or not.

The fact he says he's better than such greats skillwise is disrepectful IMO.

IMO there is no fair way of comparing heavyweights (e.g Ali) and welterweights (PBF) because it's a different fight.

Maybe PBF is the best ever (not IMO), maybe he's more skillful than all the greats put together, but he don't need to say it

Im guessing neither of you saw the fight. Castillo won the round, and Mayweather was deducted a point for use of the elbow to push away.

Now tell me I'm biased...........
