Mayweather-Castillo 1 was NOT a robbery

Another “I watched the fight a 40th time and here’s my definitive scorecard” thread.

We get them every other month or so?

Floyd didn't lose thats a close fight and it's common sense close fights aren't robberies.

[The tucker]

People like to change the word close fight to robbery when it comes to mayweather. A robbery is something like Bradley vs pacquiao 1. Mayweather vs Castillo 1 was a close fight that I think Castillo won but could go either way.

[Stokely]

I disagree

Castillo beat Floyd like Salido beat Loma. It wasn't pretty but it was effective. You can't say Castillo lost but Salido won. That's hypocrisy.

That's it

That makes no sense at all. Salido was the one who dominated the first half of that fight and edged out at least two rounds later in the fight to secure the victory. Mayweather does the same thing as he decisively wins the first five rounds against Castillo and then goes on to win rounds 8 and 10. You could also give a swing round like round 11 to Mayweather.

Close fight, yes, but Mayweather comes out on top.

[lolpz]

BS.

Floyd went on to fight on HBO PPV for almost another decade so don't try and sell that crap here. Everyone thought he lost or squeaked out a draw. Live with it.

He was trying to get on PPV a lot sooner and he wanted Arum to deliver the top guys, who all fought each other but refused to fight Mayweather because of the risk, and Arum wouldn't put up the money.

He wanted to fight Lozcano, Stevie Johnson, Casamayor, Acelino Freitas, Kostya Tszyu, etc.

They all either ducked him or Arum couldn't deliver them. Why? Because Arum refused to believe Mayweather was an actual superstar.

How can you say everyone thought he lost or it was a draw, when the entire arena along with the judges thought he won except for HBO?

Without any factual knowledge with evidence, how can you talk like that? You are ignorant and wrong.

I went and watched the fight a third time and I still can’t see how anyone could argue that this was a robbery. I saw Mayweather build an early lead by sweeping the first five rounds, then winning rounds 8 and 10. 7-5 win for Floyd.

My scorecard
RD1: 10-9
RD2: 10-9
RD3: 10-9
RD4: 10-9
RD5: 10-9
RD6: 9-10
RD7: 9-10
RD8: 10-8
RD9: 9-10
RD10: 9-9
RD11: 9-10
RD12: 9-10
114-112 Floyd Mayweather

I think the confusion lies in round 10. A lot of fans think that just because Floyd got a point deducted in that round then it should automatically be scored 10-8 in favor of Castillo, when in reality that was a round Floyd clearly dominated and is objectively a 9-9 round by the boxing rules.

You are a shhty posters. I went to give your ****** ass some red K karma but it said to spread it around before giving him another red K.

I didn’t realize I already gave you red K.

Dang you a shhty poster.

Larry, maybe it’s because they don’t give a ***.

It seems the only threads that get started complaining about this fight is the Fl omo’s who try to hard to convince people he actually won.

When I saw it live I thought Castillo won and at that point I’m done. There is no need to continue watching the fight over and over and over and coming up with a scorecard.

My opinion on the fight, Castillo won and that’s that.

Just saying dude.

[GhostofDempsey]

Sure it was a robbery. Just like his fights with Oscar and Maidana 1. 47-3 is stil a good record though.
