    Close fight. Not a robbery.

      Castillo made it a fight, if it wasn't for Castillo that **** would've been a snooze-fest. Castillo pressed Mayweather and rocked him several times.
      Mayweather didn't wanna be there and he was relieved to hear the bell.
      In fairness, those punchstats probably reflect the big rally that Castillo went on in the last couple of rounds more than anything.

      Castillo dug himself a big hole in the early rounds. It's not beyond the realm of possibility that Mayweather won a couple of the late rounds in order to seal himself a decision win.

      The last time I watched it, I didn't score it. It sure looked like Castillo had it, but that is why fights are scored round-by-round, so general perception doesn't always give it to the guy who has the big rally at the end.

      Back when I did score fights, I had it for Mayweather. I still contend that I am a terrible judge though.

        I watches the fight live with a couple of my friends and they were all screaming "robbery!"...
        Since when do you get rewarded for running the whole fight and not landing 1 meaningful shot?
        Mayweather didn't even tickle Castillo that fight.
        Are you confusing this fight with the rematch because what mayweather did in the 11 and 12 rounds is not called running that the inside game
        I felt castillo got the better of floyd in this fight but i certainly do not agree with your take that floyd did not land a single shot and was running.

        I personally would like to see some what floyd did in that fight now a days; he would be more entertaining mixing it up between fighting on the outside and the inside throwing combinations instead of pot shooting

          No I score it ROUND BY ROUND.

          Floyd won 6 rounds....Castillo won 5 and one was even due to the judge taking away a point.

          Simple as that.

            I personally favor the guy who's trying to fight, not just mindless attacking, but effective pressure should be more rewarding than pot-shotting.
            I guess it's down to the judges, those ****ing las vegas judges are infamous for their decisions...
            I'll tell you what, have a normal boxing fan that never seen the fight before, that never heard about the controversy regarding this fight, and let me know who he/she thinks won the fight.
            I can guarantee you they won't have it for the running chicken Mayweather...

              That was a robbery indeed.

                Exactly.......if this guy actually watched the entire fight, he would notice that Floyd even stood there and traded bodyshots with Castillo for a few rounds.

                    Yes, in 8 out of 12 rounds Castillo threw more, landed more, he made it a fight.
                    In 8 out of 12 rounds mayweather laid back in the ropes hoping for a flashy meaningless counter to impress those dumb judges...
