There needs to be a rematch, and this decision is bad enough to warrant a reverse. It is not too late for this one.

Just watched the fight right now. I scored it 76-72 for Castaneda over Lopez. There's no way Lopez won the fight, period.

The fight should have been over as soon as Lopez went straight to his corner and sat on his stool after the 4th knockdown in the 1st round. That should have been a 1st round RTD. How the f**k was he allowed to sit down and take a count, , .

The judges knew exactly what they were doing and they should be ashamed of themselves. They Deliberately robbed Castaneda.

Yeah, they did. Especially because the scores were switched after they already read the scores for the 4th round open scoring update.

I think it's impossible for a non-Puerto Rican fighter to win a fight in Puerto Rico, unless you nearly kill the Rican like Salido did, and even then Lopez was ahead on the cards, .

Which is why I said before is that the only way Mayweather ever loses, it would be to Garcia in Puerto Rico, and it would be a robbery. If you aren't Puerto Rican, you have to knock out your opponent to get the decision if your Opponent is Puerto Rican. I bet if trout vs cotto had all puerto rican judges back in 2012, Trout would have been robbed and the scores would have all read 120-108 for cotto. The judges out there are scandalous. And the 6 Judges from the Salido fights were
Tom Miller 86-86
Jose Roberto Torres 86-86
Lisa Giampa 86-86
Dennis Nelson 85-85
Michael Pernick 84-86
Cesar Ramos 84-86

Only two of those judges were Puerto Rican.

I hope Castaneda and his team are successful with their protest, what they did to him is a disgusting disgrace.

Seriously, the question would be when was the last time a non local boxer won a decision in the island? I don't follow fights there but one fight that shows how biased are the judges over there is Garciia-Herrera. And then remembering the fight Salido-Lopez is just another example. It seems that there is always at minimum one local judge and the referee is also a local which could give ground to protests because I don't think that is common practice everywhere else.

I agree 100%, the fight should have been stopped after the third knockdown, but again, I'm glad it wasn't. Castaneda won on my card, but I gave Lopez the usual 2 points for being the homie, so I wasn't shocked. Castaneda got robbed two or three different ways, but the fight was so good, Lopez kept getting up then Castaneda kept getting up, what a war. I'd watch it again, eff the judges.
