Let's settle this with votes: Was Castillo robbed vs Mayweather?

[Talisayen]

Castillo deserves the win against Floyd on their first fight. If you re-watch it on youtube, in my honest opinion Castillo clearly won the fight.

[New England]

a close fight is not a robbery. i thought castillo won but it was close!

they also fought a rematch, and we know what happened.

[Cheek busting]

I thought Mayweather won by a point, but it could have gone either way.

i would love to hear the rounds u think floyd won..

it wasn't even that close - was a clear 8 to 4 for castillo.

From Boxrec:

HBO's unofficial scorer Harold Lederman had Castillo winning 115-111, the Associated Press had Mayweather winning 115-111 and Dan Rafael of USA Today had the fight 114-114.

You wanna say controversial then say that.

You use robbery, that's revisionism.

When folks discuss SRL/Hagler, most know it was close.

When folks discuss Whitaker/Chavez, most know it was an awful card.

But, most folks avoid the word robbery in those old fights and rightly so.

And objective folks mention everything, not just the things that further the point they want to make.

Whitaker vs Chavez took place September 10, 1993. as soon as the cards were read it was called a robbery and still is til this day.

Close but clear win for Castillo.


Mayweather clearly won the rematch though.

That is your way of scoring a fight and not mine. I give the round to the boxer who lands more and better punches. I don't score rounds for the boxer who made him miss unless he made him pay with more punches. In other words landed punches count for you but missed punches don't count against you. If they did then Clottey beat Pacquiao without throwing many punches because he blocked and slipped so many punches. Never mind that Pacquiao threw and landed many more punches. If missing punches really cost you points high volume punchers would be afraid to let their hands go for fear of missing punches and losing points. Boxing is scored by punches landed not punches blocked or slipped. Making punches miss is it's own reward because you didn't get hit. Mayweather did get hit a lot by Castillo. If you are kidding or being sarcastic that's different.

Great fughin point
Blows my mind the way people judge a fight
And the fact is , if a fighter is so slick that he makes his opponent miss , but doesn’t make him pay , then what’s the fughin point
Might as well get hit

[MulaKO]

Castillo in all honesty deserved for the fight to be declared a draw
They could of gave him that much

[4truth]

3 judges, 3 lopsided Mayweather cards, that’s crooked as hell. Isn’t stacking the deck robbery?

[iamboxing]

Very close. I give it to Mayweather. Never liked the post-fight analysis by Larry and Lampley, they made it sound like Mayweather was battered from pillar to post, and people just parrot them, but watching the fight...it's obvious Mayweather edged it.
