Mayweather vs Castillo 1 - highlights and reactions (robbery)

[daggum]

i dont see how could you score any of the first four to five rounds for

castillo

and if you were to tell me that mayweather didnt win the two rounds

after that you're delusional.


Next time you watch a fight turn the volume off because there is a thing

called "the mexican effect" where a mexican fighter throws a punch that

hits nothing or grazes a shoulder or something and the crowd(mostly

mexican) goes wild. this fools you into thinking that the fighter did

something when in reality he did nothing.

i didn't know calzaghe was mexican till now.

Man look at the compustats and compare them. The Castillo-fight was a whole different story.
Castillo landed more, landed the cleaner and better shots. Floyd should have a L on his record. He is a better boxer than Castillo but he lost the fight- Period.

I don't think it was overly dramatic, causing cuts, etc.
I thought the point deduction wasn't necessary.

I also didn't think the shot after the break from Castillo was so dramatic that it warranted taking a point.

Like I said though, if Castillo got a point for hitting on the break, the time when Floyd hit after the bell should have been penalized for the sake of equality.

Finally, the hitting on the back by Castillo (the time when he got behind Floyd and unloaded four or five shots to the kidney) was terrible, and he didn't get so much as a warning.

OK NEWBIE ( no pun) listen up young grasshopper..

HITTING IS LEGAL..if you happend to hit on the break or after the bell it can sometimes be forgiven as a MISTAKE because after all its a BOXING match and HITTING is legal.

NOW,

what have learned so far? Say it with me "HITTING is legal" AND SOMETIMES , LOW BLOWS, HITTING AFTER THE BELL, etc can be forgiven as a mistake depending. AFTER ALL this is boxing and they HIT.


sticking your FOREARM in someones face is ILLEGAL, there is ZERO excuse or reason for it. especially repeatedly.

THE END CLASS DISMISSED. WORD.

[warp1432]

Hitting a person's back is far worse then forearming someones face to make room. Floyd only uses his foreman to make room for his shots.

It's either do that or push off (which would probably lead to him using headbutts like the Diaz Campbell fight when they were both trying to use their head to create open room).

[Fox McCloud]

Well fair enough then.

If that's the case, then Castillo should have been penalized for hitting Mayweather on the back, because that is never legal to throw a punch when looking at your opponent's back.

Idk, either way, the referee looked mighty confused as to what to do for the majority of the bout.

Time to bump the old robbery thread.

post the link to the thread you made today and for the record it was a robbery but not in the traditional sense in that Castillo was robbed of the CLOSE decision he deserved win or lose the scorecards should have been much closer.

he an unbiased Ref though

[Fox McCloud]

he an unbiased Ref though

I honestly can't tell you which is worse, an unbiased, imcompetant ref, or a biased competant ref.

Same with judges.

If one fighter clearly wins 7 rounds, and two judges both have it 8 to 4 for the other guy (one purposely giving rounds to the guy who didn't deserve them, and one being really bad at scoring, but trying his best to be fair), which one is worse? It's the same end result isn't it?

It was a close fight. It wasn't a robbery. You can clearly make a case for either side.
