[ForemanGrill]

Lederman tends to score the round in favor of the guy who landed more punches, but not necessarily the harder or more effective ones. That said, I scored the fight for Castillo by a few rounds. Any decent boxing fan will have scored it that way unless they were heavily biased for one fighter or the other.

But what good does it do us? Will complaining about it change Mayweather-Castillo I into a win for Castillo?

[Steak]

If you're going to say Mayweather lost to Castillo the first time around, then you should also be saying Pacquiao lost to Marquez, twice.

that statement makes no sense, they are completely different fights.

I thought castillo won the first fight, close but castillo won his rounds very clearly. You would have to give mayweather virtually every 'close' round to have him winning...and I didn't. Castillos body work was too consistant

I did have Marquez winning the secong pac fight, But Not the first one

[The_Demon]

I had castillo winning,but mayweather got the decision-this is boxing,it happens

[Blue Demon]

Imo I thought Castillo did enough to retain his title.

I agree.... As the champ that performance should have been enough for a victory.

Everyone thought Castillo won. He did win, but the judges said PBF won and thats what counts.

PBF won that fight. His record will show that. Castillos records shows he lost it.
But Castillo won that fight. Even ray charles can see that.

[hugh grant]

Even Floyd thought he lost that fight. And the fact that the judges didnt. Floyd thinks he is unbeatable if it goes to the decisions now. A fight he feels he clearly lost, he actually won.
Does wonders for the self esteem and belief. No wonder he believes in God if he delivers like that.
