Yes, because Compubox said so. Compubox also said Tony Thompson outlanded Wladimir Klitschko and that Felix Trinidad landed over 160+ punches on Oscar De La Hoya. It also told us that De La Hoya landed 120+ punches on Mayweather landed 43% of his punches on De La Hoya (we all saw how accurately Floyd's punches landed on De La Hoya's face and how rarely his shots were ever blocked by Oscar's gloves).

Compubox is very accurate and tells us everything we need to know about a fight.

No. Castillo did more damage but Floyd put too many of the early, uneventful rounds in the bank.

I had it close but clear for Mayweather.

[The_Demon]

i had castillo winning it but the judges didnt and thats what matters.it was a close fight

[slimshandy69]

good start for floyd, can castillo pull it back???

[IMDAZED]

I scored the first fight a draw - Castillo did enough to retain his title. I did think Floyd won the rematch handily but I don't think he wanted to win it that way.

I had Castillo winning the first fight.

Haha, I agree and I would like to add that people do not even use it well in most debates because they just bring up totals and considering how fights are scored totals at the end are pretty meaningless (it is easy to land more punches overall but lose more rounds).

Plus then you are counting all punches as equal basically other than maybe a breakdown between jabs and power shots.

Also I thought people hated teh Olympic style of scoring and have always found it odd that they try and use that to debate who won a pro fight, then say how bad ameture boxing is because of the same basic system.
