Does any know if there will be a face off between Mayweather and Pacquiao?? I also enjoyed them and would be good to see the two sat down one on one before the fight.
Think Mayweather might not want it though. Them rumours of him being dropped are probably his camp putting it out. Nothing will leak from their camp unless he wants it to.
Prediction Mayweather on points.......... Prove me wrong Manny

He beat him in the rematch, you can't lose a fight if you throw more punches and land more punches, period. Mayweather don't have enough power to make one of his punches worth more than the SEVERAL punches Castillo would land.

Hello, I see you must be new to boxing.

Let me explain to you how this sport works:

You see, fights are judged on a round by round basis, each round being of equal value. Fights are not scored by total amount of punches thrown and landed.

Since you are obviously new to the sport I will give you an easy hypothetical scenario to illustrate my point:

Fighter A vs Fighter B in a 4 round fight:

Round 1: Fighter A lands 6 punches, Fighter B lands 3
Round 2: Fighter A lands 8 punches Fighter B lands 3
Round 3: Fighter A lands 8 punches Fighter B lands 4.
Round 4: Fighter A lands 5 punches, Fighter B lands 25.

Even though Fighter B has out landed fighter A in total punches, he lost 3 of the 4 rounds and thus loses the fight (even if you scored the last round 10-8 for Fighter B)

In regards to Mayweather vs Castillo I. For the first 6 rounds Floyd did a very good job of controlling the tempo, using his jab and out boxing Castillo in a low-tempo fight.

In the second half, the tempo of the fight picked up dramatically, resulting in a lot more punches being thrown / landed.

Regardless, round 1 counts just as much as round 7.

Now that I have educated you on the subject, please do your best to read up on the sport. You have a lot to learn, young grasshopper.

Bscene is killin me with these recycled quotes. Now they post a hodge-podge of things he's said over the weeks. It's making your credibility look bad. For the love of God stop. We really don't need to hear any vaguely similar stuff he's said.

Your logic makes no sense. I hope you do understand fights are scored by rounds and not punches land. For example, a simple illustration, you can land 500 punches throughout first three rounds and lands zero for the next nine rounds, while your opponent lands zero throughout the first three and lands 400 throughout the next nine rounds. Who do you think win the fight? Well boxing says your opponent won by 9 rounds to 3.

Sounds like while roach is trying to get into Floyd's head Floyd has already got into Roach's head with the rumors and he off-focus of grasping at straws,wishful thinking and over confidence which will ultimately be their downfall. Sometimes silence is golden.your opponent wonders and grasps outside rumors.

Castillo beat him.
Maidana too.

But we got home town decisions. Lets hope we don't get another one come May 2nd
