Close fights can never be robberies. What makes them robberies are the scorecards like you just mentioned, they should have been much closer even if they had Mayweather winning. It was just like Diaz-Malignaggi, I had Paulie winning close but wouldn't have argued the decision if the scorecards would have been close, but they were by wide margins just like this fight.

That's right. Besides, Team Castillo demanded a re-match and got it immediately.

I got lucky on that fight. I layed 4-1 on Money May. Pacquiao will be the 1st to get an official won over stuttering Floyd.

And Floyd beat him no problem in that fight.

He definitely got jobbed in that fight.

Its just like the guy who has the thing about Mosley being robbed against Cotto in his sig. Mosley is my favorite today and I still think he lost a close fight with Cotto. I just watched that again the other day and they both landed the same amount of punches, but Mosley threw 100 some odd punches more, which means Cotto was more accurate. What is the robbery in that? Just because a fighter won or lost a close fight does not mean the other was robbed.

In Mayweather's first fight with Castillo, I thought they robbed him when I first saw it, but over time I decided it was a close fight that could have gone either way. I just watched it again today, and GODDAMN they robbed him. One of the worst robberies of the decade.

you can blame that on the *****s who brainwashed people to think this was a close fight overtime.

Damn, I forgot how badly they robbed Castillo.
