RJJ decisioned a bum... What's new?

You don't understand. If one guy is working more, lands the HARDRER shots, and lands at LEAST or more shots than the other guy, then HE is the effective aggressor.

Floyd's 'aggression' did not pay as much dividends as Castillo's. Floyd was not able to do what he normally does and should have lost. Most people realize that. But you have your mind made up and that's fine.

I'm just coming into this thread right now so I might have missed something (please don't bite my head off). But the problem a lot of people have with this fight don't bother me. Yes Mayweather landed less punches and Castillo definitely landed the harder shots. Castillo won the rounds he won much more decisively than Mayweather won his rounds. Nonetheless, I had Mayweather winning 7 rounds to Castillo's 5. The 5 that Castillo won definitely were clearer victories but I don't think there is any way you could give more than 6 rounds to Castillo. Definitely a close fight, but that is why I respect that Mayweather gave him an immediate rematch.

Even HBO scored against their boy Mayweather in that fight. I never got to see all of rematch, just some of it. Castillo more than deserved a rematch though.

It was at that time that Mayweahther had called Merchant a donkey or something condesending of that nature.
He then said he wanted nothing to do with HBO.
That all changed later, but he sure as hell wasnt their "boy"

Sure he was, and he had been for years. Merchant's scorecard wasn't the one they used anyway, it was Harold Lederman's. Even if Floyd said before the fight that he wanted to leave HBO (which I never heard or saw) that doesn't mean Lederman would score differently.

Anyway, there's no use in talkin bout this anymore. We have our minds set.

Becuase Floyd didnt look as good as he normally did and was not able to totally dominate does not mean he deserved the W.
There were many rounds that were clear for Castillo, and fewer that Floyd clearly won.
However, in the rounds where they landed a similar amount of shots, Floyd threw less. Mayweather also had the better defense, was the cleaner puncher, and in the early rounds, controlled the pace of the fight.

That is an example to prove that Floyd was NOT "HBO's boy" because he was far from it at that point.

Yet you said that because he was "HBO's boy" they WOULD score the fight differently, it goes both ways.

Ya but theres nothing else to talk about.
Plus, its an enjoyable thing to argue about.

Your name is PBF, and Castillo is my 2nd favorite fighter. Although I never liked him til I thought he was robbed vs PBF.

We will go nowhere with this, and you know this...MAAAN! (^_^)

And hey, we can talk about Ouma...he said he'll fight the winner of Forrest-Quartey, after he dominates Powell. Whatchoo think about that?
