mayweather vs castillo

[Kel]

I scored this fight a draw. Floyd clearly won the second fight.

No way was the fight a draw (how was you scoring it? on the loudness of the boos as Floyd ran from Castillo?) and in no way does Floyd winning the second fight mean anything for the first fight which is what the thread is about.

Well arguement could be made Floyd edged it out he did land the more cleaner punches and possiby won the first 4 rounds he stayed on the ropes too much on later stages in rematch he learnt his lesson and stayed off the ropes all the time and thats how he was able to beat Castillo quite comfortably by 3 rounds on my card.

Yep, but he still lost the fight my man Castillo was much more aggressive, landed more punches and deserved the win in my eyes. He worked his bollocks off, I felt really sorry for him.

Floyd won the second fight no question I had him up by about 3 rounds if I remember right. Been a while since I seen it.

Well i think he lost too i watched it again today i gave Mayweather the first 4 rounds and some rounds were close but Castillo's effectice aggression is what won it in my eyes he was pressuring Mayweather in later stages and landing some great body shots i had Castillo ahead by 1 but arguement could be made for a draw.


I mean i watched Hatton vs Collazo ages ago and had Hatton winning by a point but i rewatched it lately and had Collazo winning by a point Hatton was very lucky to get razor thin decision in America.

Now THAT fight should have been a draw. Collazo really worked in the 12th and had Ricky in a lot of trouble. If Rick never got the knockdown in RD 1 Collazo would have had my vote.

Yea i think draw would of been fair Ricky did land more but his punches were bit ragged didn't have much snap to them if you notice Collazo landed clean punches and had nice snap to them Hatton was rocked quite a few times and in the 12th he was lucky it wasn't called a knockdown remember at start of the 12th ?? and that 12th round arguably could of been scored 10-8 i did not score it that way but im saying a case could be made i like Hatton he has some guts on him and sounds a nice fella but me personally i don't think he is the man to beat Mayweather but we will see mate if he can atleast give good account of himself he will earn my and everyone elses respect a hell of alot more and i think USA public will feel the same.

CC, I agree with a large majority of your posts its like I wrote them myself . I can't wait to see the Hatton-Mayweather fight. Personally I think Rick could have beat Mayweather if he was in Castillos shoes that fight, but I think Floyd has improved a LOT since then. I think Floyd wins but I hope Rick does us Brits proud and somehow battles like a bastard to get the win.
