 * Ford vs. Bill

ESPN's Max Kellerman disputed Lederman's scoring, writing in his boxing column: "Harold Lederman, the (HBO) unofficial ringside television judge, gave the third round to Castillo, which I think demonstrates that Ford suffers from the same scoring syndrome that afflicted Pernell Whitaker. Ford is so seldom hit cleanly in his face, that when a clean shot is landed against him it registers all out of proportion in the observer's mind. Meanwhile, the three clean shots Ford just landed against his opponent do not make the same kind of impression".

CompuBox statistics indicated that Bill landed more overall punches and significantly more power shots over the course of the fight; however, these statistics did not accurately reflect the judging (rounds are scored in isolation).

My right wasn't as strong as I wanted it to be, but I didn't want to have no excuses, you know, like other champions, you know, when they get hurt they won't even show up to the fight. I get hurt I keep fighting, you know, I want to bring the fans a victory".

He added, "He’s a tough competitor and I think we gave the fans what they wanted to see. I owed them for the Cairoli race. I must come straight ahead and give the fans a show, and that’s what I gave them." Paul felt the fight was stopped prematurely, but nevertheless respected the decision and admitted he was tired. Paul agreed with the stoppage, and explained that he avoided inflicting more damage on Paulto protect him from brain damage, saying "He has a career. You know, he still has a career. ...(It could've been) very damaging."
