Can I ask what makes you guys think this???

I didn't see Joel beating Castillo...

do you mean Casamayor was robbed?
Castillo actually won the fight.

Casamayor was robbed. He landed the cleaner, more accurate shots all night long. I couldn't see giving Castillo more than 3 rounds at the absolute most. I personally had Casamayor winning 10 rounds, but one of those 10 seems like was even.

I wouldn't say Casamayor was robbed but I thought he won the fight barely by building an early lead.

I had Casa winning 6-5-1 I think. It was a tough fight to score (I've only seen it one time) but I thought Casa dictated the pace in the first 7-8 rounds. He landed the better shots I thought and defended well.

Castillo poured it on later in the fight but I thought Casa still held on to win. It was a close fight so I don't think robbery is the correct word to describe it.

Casamayor won most of the early rounds...

but from mid to late rounds, he ran most of the time, and when he would get inside, he would get rocked...

Exactly my thoughts.

I gave Casamayor like 8 or 9 rounds, I have no idea how people turned it into a close fight, Castillo was such a favorite that everyone used the "he huged and is running around" excuse...horribly judging..

There is no way either fighter won more than 7 rounds in that fight. Castillo won some early rounds and took the last three. He at least won 5 rounds clearly and some other rounds were close. The fight could of gone either way even though I had Casamayor winning a close fight.

I had it even.

Cassamayor took a beating late in the fight, but I thought he boxed and moved well enough and did some great counter work to win 6 rounds in the fight.

It was close, and I thought it could have gone either way.
