Wait... Mayweather WON the first fight with Castillo?

[Guest]

I watched it again and I was even sad enough to score the rounds. I think the first time it was the shock of seeing Floyd having to ship some blows and being influenced by the commentators ("OKAY, JIM....")

On the second count - and it was CLOSE! - the official Anorak scorecard gave it to Mayweather 115-113.

Cool man, atleast your honest. Alot of people who think that Floyd lost have never watched it again. The commentators heavily influnced the decision that Castillo won. Most dont like him so much that they wanted him to lose anyway. It was a close fight but Floyd pulled it out.

Yeah, I have to be honest. Some of those rounds were REALLY close. You could make an argument that it should have been a draw and that Castillo should have retained, but Hell... you could also argue that it should have been counted as a KD when Floyd dropped him in the third and that Castillo should have been docked two further points for rule infringements.

Good fight though, and I guess that's the main thing.

yea floyd won both the fights....anytime a fighter is a "underdog" when he lands 1 punch everybody goes crazy...castillo was easily outboxed in both fights

Naw, Floyd won it. He landed more. Castillo seemed to land the better punches but Floyd dictated the pace and landed more. Simple as that. I, like most, like to see the the more aggresive guy win, but the aggresion has to be effective enough to throw the other guy off...Floyd never seemed too phased. It was a good close fight, but I gave the edge to Floyd.

Castillos mistake was to start slow in the fight and he admit it, people had that fight close, could of gone either way. thats the reason the rematch was made, which PBF won easily, but the first fight i thought Castillo won, damn judges couldnt even give him a DRAW, PBF's excuse was that he had bruised a rib in training, which can be true since the second performance was better than the first
