Re: Mayweather-Castillo I
well in the rematch floyd did ...... jp ........ i scored the fight twice and had mayweather up one both times, i feel maywaether did get out worked but in certain rounds castillo did more than others which is y the punch stats are the way they are so i had mayweather win a very very very very very very very very very very very very close decision that coulve gon either way
Re: Mayweather-Castillo I
Yeah...that's why I said I don't think Castillo was necessarily robbed...it was a close fight.
It's interesting cause Floyd had all the pieces in place...some might say his style wasn't completely perfected at the time but it was damn close to it.
I didn't score Oscar-Floyd, but I feel Floyd easily won that fight. I wonder why Oscar couldn't corner Floyd. People say Oscar abandoning the jab was his mistake, but I think he should of tried to bully Floyd more and work him to the body. Castillo was really effective cornering Floyd and pounding him to the body and I think the ring size in PBF-Castillo was larger, too.
It would've been interesting to see Hatton-PBF...especially that Hatton that showed up for Tszyu.
I don't think it will prove a whole lot if Hatton beats Castillo...Castillo has seen better days. And if Hatton loses to Castillo I think it's a BAD sign for where things are headed for him.
CC phenom for the respose
Re: Mayweather-Castillo I
Castillo won it fair and square in my eyes and it's only until recently I saw the stats to confirm it. I could accept the judges giving a draw rather than a loss to Castillo but to have Floyd by 4 rounds and even 5 by that Hongtongkam guy...... ::** Castillo worked his arse off in that fight.
Re: Mayweather-Castillo I
Castillo won first meeting on my card aswell in rematch Mayweather won by 2 rounds.

Yep, I had Floyd winning by a VERY small margin.

cc back and hatton is talkin alot of shit bout floyd and delahoya i hope he not overlooking castillo cuz castillo is not the same but hes still dangerous
Re: Mayweather-Castillo I
Both fights were close. The first one could have went either way, and the second was a close win for Floyd.
As for Castillo, he's been getting alot of crap about his last performance. He didn't look good, and it seems that after Corrales 1, some energy has left him. Also in question is his weight, and determination. But, in Castillo's defense, in the past few years, he has beaten Lazcano, corrales, and Casamayor. That's pretty good to be claiming he is washed up. Maybe he is on the decline, but now that he has made the 30 day weigh in, he seems to either be at the right weight, or his fire is re-lit. We won't know until fight-night, but Castillo is a dangerous man, and if you look at his career, it has been up and down. Still got to give credit for him never eating the canvas, even when he was out on his feet.
Re: Mayweather-Castillo I
I scored the first fight a draw.
The compubox stats in that fight are misleading. Many of Castillo's landed blows were light right hands that he threw when the fighters were in a clinch. While waiting for the ref to step in, Castillo would repeatedly hit Mayweather on the side. This is completely legal, but misleading. Since they were right hands, they count as power shots, when in reality they were no more damaging than a stiff jab.
Re: Mayweather-Castillo I
I acnt rememberthe exact scores as i havent watched it for a long time but i am pretty sure i scored in for Castillo...but its was very close
Re: Mayweather-Castillo I
It's funny I watched this again a couple of days ago, I thought Castillo won it 6-5 with a round even, but it was a pretty ugly fight and it was a bit tricky to score. I think it was Floyd's worst performance and one of Castillo's best, obviously overall Floyd's a better fighter but I think watching that fight, the 2nd fight and De La Hoya v Mayweather I think Hatton most definitly is capable of beating Floyd. Hatton came out today and said something like "Mayweather is really talented, but as far as being a tough guy, I've had tougher dinners," ;D Hopefully something this pisses Floyd off and he wants to fight.

Floyd will beat Hatton.
All I can say is I hope we get to find out, and we'll agree to disagree on who we think the victor will be ;). It seems to me your quite clued up on Mr Mayweather, can you see him taking this fight?
Re: Mayweather-Castillo I
I saw Castillo winning that first fight.
Re: Mayweather-Castillo I
If Floyd and Hatton ever fight, I'd prefer that it happen in the UK, but Madison Square Garden would be awesome too.

I'd like to see it, but not sure if it will happen yet. Floyd has some options, and he'll probably end up fighting either Oscar or Mosely, because the other WWs, (Cotto, Tnoy) are promoted by Arum, and he's not going to sign a fight with Floyd at this time. If Hatton beats Castillo, and Oscar says no to a rematch with Floyd, then we may just have Hatton-Floyd. But, then again, If Cotto destroys Zab, and Margarito loses, Arum may have a change of heart, and try to match-up Cotto with Floyd. alot of possibilities. hopefully, the good fights keep rolling.
Re: Mayweather-Castillo I
Hatton has alot of big mountains to climb before he gets anywhere near Mayweather.

In terms of fanbase, celebrity and pulling power Hatton has climbed the same mountains. If you put Mayweather in his hometown, and Hatton in his hometown, Hatton would outsell Mayweather at least 2 to 1. You put Mayweather v Hatton in Grand Rapids, or Manchester, Manchester will always sell more tickets. You put it in Wembley or Vegas, Wembley will always sell more tickets. That's how the fight game works. That's before you even start talking about opponents. Gatti wasn't big because of his talent, it's because people wanted to watch him fight. Mayweather v Sharmba Mitchell shows you his pulling power, it's almost non-existant. People buy tickets to see Floyd get beat by the guy they love. No one in the fight game has fans who are more loyal, passionate, and have money to spend than Hatton.
Re: Mayweather-Castillo I
JLC won this fight imo. I've seen in at leat 6 times,it was close but I think JLC won.
"The compubox stats in that fight are misleading. Many of Castillo's landed blows were light right hands that he threw when the fighters were in a clinch.

But how do we know those were being counted? And some of those must have been just has hard as some of the shots Mayweather was landing which looked more like stiff jabs to me. The second fight was close too!
Re: Mayweather-Castillo I
