    Castillo on the other hand; I scored for Floyd, but that fight had so many close rounds that a variety of scores are reasonable.
    But surely you aren’t going to argue that Maidana won a clear 7 rounds though?

    I wouldn’t argue against Maidana winning, but it was far away from a robbery.

      Just how my eyes saw the fight. To me, it was a clear victory. In fact, I want to say i gave Maidana eight rounds.

      Saying that, I respect other people's opinions, and that the judges watch a completely different fight ringside than we do at home. Neither the Castillo fight nor Maidana was anything close to a robbery. People are just looking for a reason to **** on Mayweather's record because he had a terrible persona.

        Yeah I understand giving him 8 rounds, but to say he “definitely” won means you can’t argue Floyd won.

        Surely you don’t think that?

        To me, it’s another obvious case of a close, either way fight.

          None. Maidana 1 and Castillo 1 were all close fights, but looking back at some of those fights and paying close attention to the ring generalship and clean punching landed, Floyd edged them out.

            Castillo 1 is the only fight I felt he truly lost, though I wouldn't argue with anyone who had Maidana 1 as a loss or draw.

              The McGregor fight.

              Oh wait, my bad.

              Thought you meant the fight where the most FANS lost.

              I still can't believe some folks thought Conor had more than a snowball's chance in hell..

                  Never scored a fight against him.

                  I felt JLC, Oscar and Maidana all pushed him close but I still had him winning at least 7 rounds in each.
                  Same here, respect the hell out of his abilities but I ain't a particular fan.

                  The ones people talk about most are Castillo I and Maidana I and far as I could see it he won both relatively clearly although both were tough competitve fights.

                  Don't think I ever actually scored Mayweather vs DLH so maybe I'll go back and give it a look over, but I don't recall thinking it was controversial.

                    The best punch by far in the 2 Maidana fights was right at the end of the 4th round in the rematch. With about a second to go he landed a glorious right hand and you saw Floyd's legs buckle a bit before he pawed for the ropes. Dude was buzzed and if only Chino had landed that 60 seconds or so earlier.
                    Someone less lazy than me should make a gif of that.
