It's arguable.The fight was VERY close but I thought Castillo deserved the decision.

It's been done to death really.Mayweather was injured and cameback and beat him clearly the second time.

I was afraid we wouldnt see this thread this week, but just in time, its now been made 38 consecutive weeks.

Castillo did beat Floyd the first time, and YEs floyd is a better fighter and was not fully prepared for the first fight. Bottom line, Castillo should have been given the Nodd in the first encounter, but floyd has been baby sat by HBO since day one. They coached him because it would have made his value go down had they given him the well deserved loss, his 0 would have had to go. Floyd is protected by HBO, and they will allow him to take non competetive fights becuase he can sell a fight - I give him that. He is a business man, not a fighter.

Mayweather was given the benifit of the doubt and silenced the critics in the rematch, and that's how the story ends.

I will say it is a close fight but most people can not be non biased about Floyd.

JLC gave away the early portion of the fight, and he came on but with the deducted points who knows (rounds could be crucial depending on which way they went, but lots do not even bring that up which makes me question if they watched the fight and are not just jumping the the bandwagon). To me the early rounds heavily favored Floyd (1-6) while the last six were very give and take (even or slightly favoring JLC) to me that was not enough to give him the nod.

Mayweather won both fights..

Unless the announcers and a human based statistics system successfully tell you what to think, that is

compubox is not the end all be all. It does not decide fights.

COMPUBOX = PEOPLE PUSHING BUTTONS.

Its not some super infallible computer.

That being said, castillo won that fight.

Yet you see *****S use the compubox argument whenever they want to slag on another boxer that threatens mr.counterfeit cash's status.
