Wow Just Rewatched Mayweather-Castillo 1 And...

[Johnwoo8686]

I saw the fight completely differently this time. I remember hearing Robert Garcia say when he first saw the fight he thought Floyd won and he changed his mind after rewatching it, having Castillo win. When I first watched the fight I had Castillo winning 7 rounds to 5. This time I saw it differently with Floyd winning 6 rounds, 2 rounds were close and could have gone either way, and Castillo dominating 4 rounds. Remember fights are scored by a round by round basis and even if you out land a guy by 100 punches you can still lose a fight if you lose most of the rounds.

I think I was being heavily swayed by Jim Lampley and Larry Merchant the first time I saw the fight. They were giving Castillo rounds that were simply competitive and giving him credit for low blows and rabbit punches. If you ignore the commentary and go in the fight with no bias you'll see a totally different story. The second fight was simply a repeat of the first with Floyd using a little more lateral movement. I thought De La Hoya and Cotto fought a more disciplined fight against Floyd than Castillo did.

If you had Floyd winning the fight I don't blame you. It looked more like an off night to me than a loss. No wonder Castillo couldn't win the rematch, he practically lost the first fight.

I scored the 1st exactly how the judges did.

I thought Castillo won 7-5 or it was a draw... Funny, I think Harold Letterman had it like 117-110 for Castillo or something like that. It's weird how different people see different things when scoring the same fight.

Castillo lost that fight. Lost too many of the early rounds.

You could have at least bumped the thread that was made yesterday. This debate about who won has been going on for way too long now.

It was close and could have gone either way,it definitely warranted a rematch,and floyd set the record straight

by that logic floyd lost the fight because he lost too many of the late rounds

and castillo won 7-5

In your opinion, don't try to pass it off as fact.
