Hey how do you all score this round?

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!

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.

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.

It really is unfair if a round that looks like a draw is given to the boxer because he is the champion. But this is how they do it in boxing, isn't it? You have to beat the champ to be the champ because in a draw the defending champion retains the belt. So the belt being vacant upon the first bell sounding does not apply.

True.the challenger doesnt exactly have to knock out the champion to win but he must be very convincing to get the benefit of the scoring.
