Hey how do you all score this round?

[LukeH]

Ive not looked at any othe the other comments... and i had the sound off but neither guy really connected very much, Castillo was the the fighter coming forward but Mayweather looked happy and in control of everything that was happening. If i wasn't allowed to score 10-10 I would maybe lean towards Mayweather. Reasons being no significant punches and although Castillo was coming forward I dont think he really managed to put Mayweather under any meaningful pressure and Mayweather movement and defence was probably more impressive.

Thanks for all your inputs.

This is the hardest round to score out of the most controversial fight.

Keep em coming gents its very interesting.

10-10, but I believe more close rounds should be scored this way. A 10-9 should require more than a slight advantage, like winning a tennis game/set requires a 2 point/game differential.

This is a very underutilized option. For all practical purposes, if you do not get a KD but nonetheless dominate your opponent for one round, all he has to do is squeak out the next one for the fight to be even. In the event of a close round, Boxing judges should default on 10-10 in order to mitigate against this unfair scenario. A wider usage of the 10-8 would also help.

Personally I'd score it even 10/ 10. But If I had to give it to one fighter I'd slightly give it to Castillo. He landed to better shots, especially over the 2nd half of the round, but Mayweathers ring genralship was awesome, so yeah really hard round to score!

nothing definitive happened in that round. mayweather landed double the punches, jabs to the body and head, but had no power on any of them. castillo landed about 5 power punches...which connected but caused no harm. floyd showed great footwork and ring generalship while castillo chased him around the ring the best he could and landed a few times when he was able to get floyd's back on the ropes. floyd grabbed or pushed off while castillo tried hard to get some infighting done.

i guess it depends on what you like in a fight.
do you watch boxing to see punches or pirouettes? i know what i like.

Well it is a pro fight, its not an amateur one that scores touches and its not a dance contest either .

It's also not a bull versus a matador

[Pugilistic]

I thought it was a clear round for Mayweather.

Besides a few shots on the ropes at the end of the round, Castillo had no success where Mayweather controlled the tempo, made Castillo miss and popped Castillo with jabs to the body and head the whole round.

[Snakey]

I scored it for mayweather, superior movement and pot shotting. Castillo was agressive but I wouldnt of called it effective agression.

[armyash]

Castillo was aggressive but didn't land much at all until 30sec left and floyd did nothing other than move around the ring really. Very very difficult to score! the way i have to score a round like that is give it to who landed the harder punches, it's a pro fight not amateur so tip tap jabs (which is all PBF threw) don't count for much unless the other guy eats them for 3minutes with no response.

I give it to Castillo for his work in the last 30 it was 10-10 up to that point.

What was the scoring from the judges for that round? Does anyone know?

[ICB]

Floyd Mayweather Jr clearly.

[FinitoElDinamita]

Floyd Mayweather Jr clearly.

Clearly? how so?

[armyash]

Floyd Mayweather Jr clearly.

Although i see it different it just shows why boxing is such an intriguing sport, everybody has a different opinion.

What may seem clear cut to 1 person can seem the opposite to another depending on how events are interpreted. Love it!

[Spicoli]

Castillo. Floyd was reactionary fo the most part and punching from the backseat. Pick your poison. Castillo had few long rights near end and actually lead a few earlier, I also give him a nod for inside punching while they were tied together. Thought he worked harder

[p4pking]

Pretty well everyone who fights Mayweather works harder though, that's part of his game. Agree with most of the posts in this thread, if ever a 10-10 round is deserved this one fits. Giving one man the nod really speaks more to personal taste than any other factor imo(which lead me to first think Mayweather, in truth), it was a very uneventful round compared to any other in the fight.
