    The problem with the first fight is simple...Castillo didnt win a single round until after the seventh at which point he couldnt win the fight without a knockdown...Castillo came on strong but most due to Floyd breaking his hand...Close fight??Yeah but there was a clear winner to those that are unbiased, I have talked with many here that are neutral when it comes to floyd(Yes we do have fans here that are really like that) and most of them felt that Floyd eeked it out in the 7-5 8-4 range..Now that Haters claim that Castillo won the fight but cant really list 7 rounds that he won to win the fight, not with giving proof such landing more shots, landing hard shots, its purely based on I dont like the guy and Castillo did good at the end.

    This was a fight that floyd should get a shitload of credit for even taking but the haters cant do it...Just cant bring themselves to give Floyd credit for anything.

    floyd NEEDED to take a rematch. He did because he had no choice above all else.

    I'd say you're bang on... Castillo edged him on points in the first fight.

    Floyd is not an undefeated fighter in my book. :bart

    The first fight Castillo won clearly. Floyd probably had 5 rounds at the most. Even my dog and cat can see that Castillo won that fight. The second fight Floyd took it though, no doubt.

    I thought Mayweather won the first four rounds clearly. The fifth could have gone either way and Castillo won rounds 6 and 7 clearly.
