Comments Thread For: Castillo: In The Eyes of The World, The Fans - I Beat Mayweather!

Y’all crazy,Floyd lost that fight.

[Aware]

First of all, anyone who calls it a robbery is wrong. The majority of press row had Mayweather winning ( The Associated Press had Mayweather winning, 115–111; the New York Daily News scorecard also had Mayweather winning, 116–112.) . It's a fight that could have gone either way. The main reason why so many think Castillo won is because of the commentary that night. Another reason is Mayweather does subtle things both offensively and defensively that often elude untrained eyes. People point to the Compubox numbers, but this is just two people pushing buttons when they think punches land, it is in no way definitive. Lastly, it provides some solace to those that don't like Mayweather.

It's funny This story came up, I actually watched this fight again on YouTube the other day and I must say Castillo definitely won that fight. You could make an argument for a draw and for A 7-5 Castillo win, but definitely not a Mayweather win. 5 rounds is the most I could give Mayweather, 6 is a stretch but definitely not from the realm of possibility, to say Mayweather won 7 is not plausible. Regardless it's ancient history but would recommend fans to check it out.

Haven't seen the fight in years but I remember Floyd won the first 5 rounds. I believe he won 1 or 2 of championship rounds also...

Great fight tho

Anyone who says Mayweather won the first fight is clearly just a fan boy or has some other biased interest. Castillo clearly won that fight.

Floyd won the first 4 rounds and lost every round after that. But hey, he had an injured shoulder right?

Not this again. Can't claim robbery when a dude loses the first five rounds.

I think the fight should have been a draw. But imo it was close enough for either guy to win by a point.

Regardless he got dominated the second fight so who cares

Hmm, slow news day.

Yeah, but someone makes a thread about this topic every couple months it seems like.

So at least it's better to hear something from Castillo himself.

An excerpt from the write up of the fight from the associated press on E S P N.

"Castillo had defended his lightweight title three times before, but never against a fighter like the talented Mayweather. He pressed the fight and took it to Mayweather, but missed far more punches than he landed.

Castillo rarely caught up to Mayweather, and when he did, he was often slow in throwing punches. At the end of the fifth round, he caught Mayweather on the ropes and landed a left and right and Mayweather responded by smiling at him.

Castillo kept pounding away at the body after the bell rang to end the fifth round, and Drakulich had to pull him off of Mayweather, who followed Castillo back to his corner smiling and offered him a hand as if to congratulate him.

It wasn't until the 11th round that Mayweather decided to stand and trade punches with Castillo, and the two went at it flat-footed in the middle of the ring for most of the round, with Mayweather seeming to get the best of it.

Mayweather, who weighed in at 134 pounds, earned $2.2 million, while Castillo, 134½, was paid a career-high $1.1 million."

They scored in 115-111 for Floyd

Im Mexican but floyd mayweather had a shoulder injury and thats why he looked as bad, but nobody wants to believe that it was "Mayweather is making excuses" , yet when pacquiao said he had a "severe" torn rotator cuff, everyone jumped into the bandwagon and said hes was being truthful lmao ****** dumb racist fanboys
