The Floyd Mayweather Deception, Floyd Mayweather vs Jose Luis Castillo part 1

[NesNY]

no matter how many times I watch the actual fight (not this one with the replays)....

I scored it 114-112 Castillo. A draw would've also been very acceptable depending on how you score Rd. 10 (if you score it 9-9, which is ok...Lederman had it 10-8).

Rd. 11 to me was almost dead even, still gave it to Floyd.

Nothing changes no matter how many times I watch this. If you score it friendly for Castillo, it's a 114-112 win for him. If you score it for Floyd (Rd. 10 is a 9-9 round)...then it's a draw.

really close decision.....I think a draw would've been the right call, even if I scored it 114-112 for Castillo.

i agree that it is very difficult to score after round 7....especially rds 10 and 11...however you score those 2 rds determines who wins IMHO.

yeah.

Rd. 10 and 11 change the outcome of the fight.

good fight. Props to Floyd for fighting through the injury. Even switched southpaw for a while since it probably started hurting badly.

Ahh another Castillo-Mayweather thread trying to imply something. Can't believe I have to post this again, but here it goes:

I just watched the fight and here is how I scored it:

Round 1 - Floyd 10-9
Round 2 - Floyd 10-9
Round 3 - Floyd 10-9
Round 4 - Castillo 9-10
Round 5 - Floyd 10-9
Round 6 - Castillo 9-10
Round 7 - Castillo 9-10
Round 8 - Floyd 10-8 - Ref took away point from Castillo and Floyd was winning the Round.

Round 9 - Floyd 10-9
Round 10 - 9-9 - Ref took away point from Floyd and it was his best round of the fight.
Round 11 - Castillo 9-10 - Floyd stood right in front of him and they traded body shots. Castillo got the better of it.

Round 12 - Castillo 9-10 Castillo's most active round. He threw alot of combinations. His best round.

TOTAL = 114-112

6 rounds to 5 and 1 even.

Winner - Floyd Mayweather


Saying that Castillo clearly or absolutely got robbed and that Floyd should have lost, is a Lie. A lie repeated over and over again by overzealous Floyd detractors who are desperate to see him lose and cling on to this one time where things were very competitive and close.

as if your scoring is what decided the fight!

This fight is very difficult to score...

but a point that no one seems to make, is that Castillo was the champion. Floyd is trying to take the belt away from him. Did he do enough to deserve that championship? I find it questionable.

But i can definitely see why someone would score the fight in favour of Mayweather due to the accuracy of his punches.
