Which was a closer fight - JMM-PAC2 or JLC-FMJ1

[Dan...]

PBF lost pretty clearly in the 1st fight.

Haha, this is why I love boxing.

I respect your opinion a great deal, over probably about 98% of this board, yet every time I watch that fight I think "I can't believe ppl score this fight for Castillo by a margin".

Yea, I just had a long argument about that fight. Sometimes I think I saw a totally different fight then most people.


Oh well that is part of the fun about boxing, 10 people can all see the same fight and you might get 10 different opinions about what happeaned.

There were just so many rounds which Mayweather clearly won that there is no way it can be a clear win for Castillo. I can accept an absolute razor-thin decision for JLC but no way in hell did he clearly win that fight. You cannot do absolutely nothing for half the fight and win by a margin, I don't care how impressive you are in the rounds where you actually land a punch.

I completely agree, if you give away 5 of the first 6 rounds (could have lost all 6), it is extremily hard to get a decision on the cards because some judges might just prefer a certain style, atleast if you do not get extra points for knockdowns. He came on like gangbuster in the 2nd half to make it a very good fight, but he did not sweep that last 6 rounds (imo). People also forget the point deductions, which played a huge part in the fight for me..
