Описание к видео Jose Luis Castillo vs Floyd Mayweather Jr I April 20, 2002 1080p HD HBO Commentary/Intl Feed Video

Who really won Castillo vs Mayweather 1? Watch this, (which I made as all the HBO uploads look terrible in comparison) then maybe go watch the UK Sky Sports broadcast, (which is already here on my channel and the link* is below) then come back and tell us who you think deserved the fight. I suggest watching both because the two different commentary teams saw the fight and the outcome quite differently from each other.

Post Fight Comments
"I was winning rounds. I wasn't worried at all. I was out-boxing him easy. The first time a guy lands a few shots on me, and they say it was a close fight. That's because usually I blow them out of the water." - Floyd Mayweather Jr.
"In my heart, I thought I won. Unfortunately, the judges didn't agree. Running away, like Mayweather did, is not the way to win a world title." - Jose Luis Castillo
"I disagree with the way the scoring went. It's not that I feel Mayweather didn't win, but not by this margin. This is ludicrous." - Promoter Bob Arum
