Castillo v Floyd I "It's not the fight we saw"

[deliveryman]

Castillo took him to hell that night, you think after that fight Floyd would want to fight a tall, huge legit welterweight who will stalk the whole fight, eat his shots like candy while throwing 70-100 of his own a round, with legendary stamina? And prime at that?


Nah, son. EZ work, dawg. Floyd woulda schooled him, na' mean?

As if Margarito would of thrown anywhere close to 100 punches per round. Floyd would of been on his bike all night long dictating the pace. I think Margarito would of averaged closer to 50 punches per round.

The public census will always be that majority of knowledgeable boxing fans will have Castillo winning their first bout.

This poll has been created several times spanning multiple forums and every single time Castillo is voted to have won their first bout.

Good question. Obviously, the answer is not even close. NO. Floyd fought like he knew the fix was in. Unfortunately, nobody told Castillo that, until the second fight. Ho hum. The business of boxing moves on.

Dude you're getting more and more pathetic. Castillo lost. Manny lost. Its about to be 2013. Stop venting. Get over it.

One responds with "good question" while Big D doesn't like the thread and puts in his irrelevant comments! lol

Look Big D, the thread was not started by me. I just responded like everyone else. Perhaps if you guys at least agree that Floyd should have lost even though he won officially, then there would be no point in bringing this topic up. Unfortunately, you and some of the other Floyd fans come back with a response looking like this "Floyd clearly won". lol!

Note that you don't need to agree but don't expect people to stop discussing boxing as this is what we do here in these forums even though a topic has been brought up many times before.

As for Manny, I have never said in any of those threads where Manny has been ridiculed for you guys to stop. Some of those gifs, I too laughed at.

Try to take all this more lightly ... its the end of the year, have yourself a Happy New Year ... and we can hopefully discuss and yes, disagree, in the upcoming year as we have been ...

That's in interesting observation. Because if you will review the fight (just go to You Tube), you will see Castillo intentionally targeting the shoulder. NOW, if the shoulder were injured by Castillo in the fight, then that cannot be used as an excuse by Floyd.

I see someone didnt actually read my comment nor watch the fight! Floyd complained about his shoulder from the beginning of the fight! The second round! He did not make up the excuse after the fight! Learn the game of boxing bro

I started to respected Floyd because when everyone said he lost to Castillo, he proceed to rematch Castillo and won quite convincingly,


But he move to 140 and up and started to pull ***** moves. Waiting for fighters to loose their prime to then fight them.

Learn to watch boxing before commenting on it. Castillo clearly targeted the shoulder as a strategy to defeat Floyd's shell. Apparently it worked.

Floyd wasn't expecting such a stiff competition in the first fight.

Actually it was such a controversial fight that Floyd pretty much had no choice but to rematch. Bob Arum, as Floyd states was Floyd's boss, told Castillo that he was getting a rematch. It was stated in the post-fight interview.

You know what? Nevermind..............

Oktay Urkal should have gotten the nod against Tsyzu, he was robbed imo

Last time I watched it, I had it a draw. For me, the interesting thing is that JLC is the only one who came close to solving the Mayweather puzzle. Even the re-match (which I haven't seen in a long time admittedly), he caused FMJ a lot of problems and it was only towards the end that Floyd pulled away.

Castillo was one heck of a fighter.
