I thought Mayweather pulled it out. I know I'm in the minority, but it definitely wasn't a robbery. I even think a draw would've been entirely fair. Here's my scorecard:
ROUND_____1__2__3__4__5__6__7__8__9__10__11__12__TOTAL
Mayweather_10_10_10_10_10_9__9__9__10__9___9___9___114
Castillo_____9__9__9__9__9__9_10_10__9___9__10__10___112
Notes:
- I did think Mayweather won the first 5 rounds by clean, effective punching while avoiding most of Castillo's pressure and shots. If you were to give any of these rounds to Castillo you might give him rd. 3, which was the closest but I still think Mayweather took it.
- Castillo got a point deducted in round 6, Mayweather got a point deducted in round 10.
- The ref (Drakulich) wasn't as bad as the announcers made him out to be. Thought both point deductions were valid enough, though he might've trying to make up for the 1st call with the 2nd.
- The official scorecards were too wide for Mayweather (Anek Hongtongkam 116-111, John Keane 115-111, Jerry Roth 115-111)
- Who does everyone think won round 10? I think it's by far the most important close round. It tipped my scorecard from a draw to a Mayweather win.
