    Just wanted to point that out
    I thought he won clearly, but in a competitive fight, if that makes any sense? did you notice the right hands Castillo was able to get home when Floyd was laying on the ropes early on?

      Yup. Floyd basically won that fight by potshotting.

        Yup but what had me laughing was when JLC would hold on to Floyd and bounce around the ring with him. Then the ref would seperate them and Floyd would start complaining to the ref about it

            I thought it was a competitive, but clear cut win for Floyd.

            I scored it 8-4. 7-5 I think would be being generous to Castillo.

              Mayweather fought with one hand the first fight and won. the second fight he had both hands and beat him down.

                a close source to castillo said that castillo was fighting with a severe upset stomach, and a sprained wrist with a major migraine coming into the fight but he didnt want to make a big deal about it. said he felt like he wanted to die after the fight.

                and people made the second fight a big deal on floyds part because everyone was unsure about the first one. yea, floyd showed us all he won the second fight for sure...but it was still a very competative one.

                    I gotta disagree Warp. I cannot see how you could only score three rounds of that fight to Castillo.

                    I agree with the threadstarter, this was a damn close fight IMO. Floyd was the clear winner but it was still close.

                      You can compare this fight to the Cotto/mosley fight. Close but clear decision for Cotto.
