Gave it to floyd 8-4. Really don't get why that fight is considered controversial. Most of Castillos punches were landing on Floyd's shoulder and arms.
This or 7-5 are the most reasonable. Castillo was rewarded for just activity/and was easily neutralized in rematch. Its mostly cats that dislike Floyd outside the ring that think he lost that fight.

Sheeraz vs Berlanga as a main event because they expect that many Puerto Ricans turn out for Berlanga or because Sheeraz is Turki's personal darling?

It seems like he has a connection to Sheeraz he doesn't have with other fighters. Is Sheeraz his favorite because he's a Muslim fighter with a Middle Eastern/South Asian ancestry?

It's an interesting fight btw, even though Shakur vs Zepeda should probably be the main event.
Sheeraz is a big guy, he might get better moving up if he struggled to make weight before but he has to be a lot sharper than he was against Adames, he looked dominant before that fight but Adames shed light on his shortcomings and should have won too.
Imo Berlanga is not as good as Adames but it's still a higher division and Berlanga can bang. Sheeraz will be the favorite but based on his last fight Berlanga is a live dog.

and smh @ connecting this to the goofy Club World Cup that European football fans collectively hate :mjlol:

Good for Chisora for doing good this late in his career but I have no desire watching him fight above a certain level, a level that Dubois should be well above of. We've seen Chisora many times against top guys, the result was the same.
I hope they make Usyk vs Dubois first.
I mean there's a chance he can catch dubois lol.

one day I will get around to rewatching it, but I saw it live then rewatched it a day or two later and I thought Floyd won. both times I watched it. I thought it was even going into the late rounds and I thought Floyd stood in there and took some rounds he needed to bank it. cant remember which rounds but I remember Floyd basically 4, maybe 5 rounds....so going in to the championship rounds he only needed like 2 rounds. i felt 7-5 was good and even with point deduction Floyd still wins. reminds me of Jones Tarver 1.

I swear yall dont be watching fights and just regurgitate shyt yall hear

Official Scorecards:
Judge 1: 115-113, Judge 2: 115-113, and Judge 3: 116-113.

Mayweather v Castillo 2

It was even goin into the championship rounds and floyd pulled a shakur vs edwin type shyt n got rewarded for it. Look at the post fight n see how floyd got booed out his own hometown arena talking bout throwing no power punches was part of the plan at the end of the fight. Funny how fight 1 was controversial but fight 2 closer on the cards. I made a similar post to srl vs duran 2 n how that fight was close before duran quit but cats in here telling me naw all 3 judges were wrong.


Easily neutralized lol
