Hey how do you all score this round?

[Andre]

Round 3 starts at 1.45. How do you score it?

[Andre]

6 views and everyone runs from scoring one round come on its not a whole fight?

[Andre]

I had Castillo win it.

[J_C]

Mayweather all day long. Apart from 1 nice bit of work from Castillo with about 30sec go when Floyd was against ropes, that round was basically hit and not get hit from Mayweather. Good movement with lots of connecting jabs, controlled the round almost the whole time. Imo you are not scoring the round as a 3 minute slice of action if you give that round to Castillo. I totally disagree with Lederman scoring the round to Castillo.

Good for you but I had Castillo up by one shot.

Turn the sound off you cant listen to these commenters they mention a body jab by Floyd that doesnt even contact as castillo is going backwards and checks it. Also one of them says "nice triple combination by Castillo; where none of them make contact at all.

I still cant see as many of Floyds hits making contact as you have JC but thats why this fight gets fans at odds and this is the round thats the hardest to score in my estimation.

So lets all pick it apart .

Good work.

Well I keep looking at it

Even between 3.50 and 4.02 Or from 52 down to 40 on the time clock, right after Floyd slips Castillos reaching left jab over his right shoulder.. right then (where Floyd is at his busiest in the whole round; he isnt making contact his fist is left hung in air a lot you can see it even on the pause button) but eventually he gets one low jab in to score and that is his busiest moment in the whole round.

I agree Floyd is moving and evasive and Castillo is made to miss a lot too, its a very hard round to score. I dont think there is even a scoring shot for the first 29 seconds in the round, even that very first jab of Floyds that you hear loud, is off the glove as Castillo is even moving backwards and leaves his arm out to check it.

Floyd moves better ill give him that.

[FinitoElDinamita]

It could have been a 10-10 round but if I had to give it to somebody, it's castillo who was the aggressor and landed a nice jab and right hand..

[CFH]

I tried to score it, but all I could think about was what an consistently god-awful commentator George Foreman was.

[armin]

both guys were hitin lots of air and were equalish in connects I feel, but floyd was obviously much more defensive and castillo the agressor and in such a close round id tend to side with the agressor.

[InTheNeutralCorner]

I see the round as almost even with a slight favor on Castillo for aggressiveness. But when Castillo hit Floyd at the 30 sec. mark with what I think was the most effective punch in that round, I score that round for Castillo. I don't have any issue with that round being scored even but Floyd definitely did not win that 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.

[Andre]

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.

[Manju]

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!

[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.
