Hey how do you all score this round?

[ruthless rocco]

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?

Floyd Mayweather Jr clearly.

Floyd Mayweather Jr controlled a majority of the round with clean effective jabs.

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!

Me too, love it.
Reason i put this here is because I read the comments under the whole fight on utube and its 50/50 and many are calling others out and all that crap, but Floyds fans of course see it different than his detractors. Still there are real fight fans who dont give a fuck who wins (may the best man win) and they are slightly split on it too it seems.

I see Floyd hitting air with most of the high jabs or checked on Castillos gloves and all but two body jabs are checked by Castillo either moving back already bodily or caught by the elbow. I see him as the aggressor and I see him counter with harder shots on two different close engagements between the two.

I do see Floyd as more skillful and fluid in movement being evasive under attack, but Castillo scores the harder connecting shots and he is the champion defending and he is the hunter in the fight.

[Andre]

And good on you all for having the balls to put your calls on the line.

I dont want to come across as an arse because you seen a decent enough chap Andre, but what has the bit in bold got to do with anything? Whenever I hear anything about that sort of way of scoring a fight (youve got to take the title from the champ sort of chat) I have to call in to question the opinion of the scorer. What has Castillo being the champ got to do with anything in scoring the fight. The belt is vacant upon the first bell sounding.

[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.
