I had a lot of free time tonight, and found myself watching some random fights from years past.
I haven't watched the full fight of Castillo-Mayweather I for a couple years. I remember how controversial it was and how many think Castillo was robbed. This was the first time I've scored it. I had it 114-112 for Castillo. Castillo was the aggressor for the majority of the fight, however floyd was willing to exchange, but did a lot of running as well.
All three judges had it for Mayweather:
John Keane – 115-111 for Mayweather
Jerry Roth - 115-111 for Mayweather
Anek Hongtongkam -116-111 for Mayweather
Lederman had it 115-111 for Castillo. All of the HBO announcers scored it for Castillo as well.

Castillo was champ, outworked Floyd, outlanded Floyd, and controlled the ring. It was a very close fight, and I'd say Floyd did land the cleaner/crisper punches. There is no way I could have scored this fight for Mayweather though. Anyone see it differently? Remember this is only the first fight, don't even say a thing about the rematch!
