    Mayweather vs Castillo appreciation thread: still a hot topic after 14 years



    Im going to score this fight round by round and we can discuss which rounds you gave to which fighter

    I was a fan of both at the time, I was a little upset when Castillo beat my boy "lil but bad" but it illustrated he was an elite lightweight and would remain one if not the best of his era for the next 5-6 years

    This fight is very close and my score card changes with each viewing

    fights like this made me a die hard fan...two elite fighters, contrasting styles, in their prime and hard to score

    this fight wasnt controversial and could have been a draw or 7-5 either way was a just scorecard


    this fight showed the worth of both fighters and hopefully one day el Temible makes the hall of fame....looking back he was one the best lightweight of the 2000s easily

      Good post.

      Round 2: Mayweather. Landed a few nice counter shots and was the busier fighter. Maybe a different poster can give there opinion for each round and see what the score totals In the end.

                Round 3: 10-9 Mayweather

                fight totals through 3 rounds: 30-27 Mayweather

                thus far his defense, his jab to the body and defense is clearly winning him the rounds...not heated action but I can see Castillo warming to the task

                He is so underrated skillwise and cuts off the ring so well and is actually trying to counter the counterpuncher

                  I thought rounds 3-4 were Castillo's, making the fight a draw on my card at this point.

                    I can see Castillo getting 4, he was warming up but Mayweather landed the better punches imo and his jab was consistent...I gave PBF 3...ill be checking out round 4 soon...headed to lunch
