Watched Urango vs Ben Rabah again: scorecard

[DiegoFuego]

What about Mayweather - Castillo 1? And how do you think Mayweather - Hatton at 140 would play out? And have you watched more then 2 fights of Hatton?

I love Hatton, I've seen pretty much all of his televised fights on Showtime and HBO. I actually had a dream about Hatton-Mayweather once and thought it was very realistic. It ended up as a majority decision for Mayweather like 115-113 twice for Floyd and the other card even. Hatton was cut over both eyes (not sure if that would still happen after his surgery), but it was even after about 8 rounds. Mayweather poured it on in the end and ended up winning it, but I remember thinking it was a draw. Easily the best boxing dream I've ever had or heard of. I really need to see this fight because Hatton is the best pressure fighter in the sport today. I honestly don't know if Mayweather could handle it, but I would bet on Mayweather if you made me pick. Still, gotta see it to know for sure.

Since you guys are talking about these fights, I had Hopkins-Taylor I as 115-113 for Taylor, but there was one round that was really close for me, maybe round 4, I don't remember that could have made it a draw. I could not see Hopkins winning the fight under any circumstances though. The rematch I had it 116-112 for Taylor, could agree with 115-113, but Taylor definitely won it.

Mayweather-Castillo I has always been a hard fight to score, but I've scored it unlike just about anybody else. Most guys have it for Mayweather or Castillo by about 4 points like 115-111 one way or the other. The score I kept coming up with when I scored it last summer and fall was actually a draw 113-113. Very odd fight, but Mayweather probably guaranteed himself no worse than a draw when he won 4-5 of the first 6 rounds.

I tought you said even rounds were for indecisive *******??

Which fights have you seen? Just wondering....

I just realized that no judge for a Mayweather fight has ever had him losing or drawing with the opponent. I mean Castillo would be the only opponent to arguably do that. That's really impressive and it also means Mayweather has a really good KO percentage against strong opposition. I remember when I picked Tarver to beat Roy in 03 and saw where Tarver got a draw on one of the cards. Even though my pick was wrong, I felt good for calling the first guy to ever take get anything under than a loss against Roy with one of the judges. I ****ed up and picked Roy to win the rematch though, but I can't complain because it was the 2nd greatest night of my life as a boxing fan to see Tarver insult and KO Roy like that. Back to the subject, I'm trying to figure out who will be the first to win over a judge from Mayweather.

Basiclly when Hopkins was fighting, he was beating Taylor.
He gave up the fight in the first few rounds when he didnt even counter when he had the chances too.
Taylor landed his shots cleaner then Castillo did, and in most cases Floyd countered more effectivly then Hopkins did in their respective fights.

Also, the fights were both similar in the fact that Taylor and Floyd won alot of the early rounds.
However, Taylor had a tough time with Bernard when Bernard was slipping and countering effectivly, and Mayweather had a tough time with Castillo when he was really pressuring him and forcing the action.

They are. When did I ever score an even round? 113-113 is 6 rounds a piece plus 2 point deductions. I actually think I may have had one even round because I remember thinking Mayweather won the round in which he had a point deducted. I'm saying if there are no knockdowns or point deductions, you don't score the round even. Ever.

Well Mayweather is the sharpest puncher I have ever seen. Almost as sharp as a prime Roy Jones at 168.

Did all 3 judges have Hatton winning over Collazo? I can't remember.

Which fights have you seen? Just wondering....

Counting backwards, Collazo, Maussa, Tszyu, Oliveira was it right before Tszyu? Don't remember. Stewart, Ben Tackie, Vince Phillips...a couple more tomato cans

Very nice. I've seen Collazo, Maussa, Tszyu, Tackie, Oliviera, and Magee. He showed nice ass boxing skills vs. Magee. That was the most impressed i was by Hatton (and of course vs Tszyu but he got away with a lot of **** htat fight). He's got crazy head movement when he wants to use it.
