    Castillo gave Floyd all he could handle twice, even got in some elbows to Floyd's face along with some low blows. I was impressed with both guys

    And just for the record, the Judah fight made me MORE of a Floyd fan

    let me hit you in your gloves and elbows for 36min and lets see how long you last ass wipe...only a *** thinks thats worth scoring......it doesn't do ****

    when was the last time you seen somebody get knocked out on an elbow shot...

    castillos best and most damaging shots were all his low blows....

    Was the fight close yeah...only because its hard to distinguish what to count when a mfer is throwing everything possible...

    If Zab had the stamina and mental strength floyd has he wouldve probably won

    If Zab had done just a little bit more he could have eek'd out a win.

    Altough Castillo has a much better argument for a win, Zab certainly looked the best against Floyd (while he was doing well) - whatever it was (speed, southpaw, counterpunching etc) he was doing better than Floyd.

    wow all those people saying Oscar must be new to boxing. The people that picked up boxing after PBF was on MTV cribs.

    How the hell isnt everyone saying Castillo?? He in alot of peoples minds beat PBF. I rescored that fight many times and i have never had PBF winning.

    People also tend to forget that in the first Castillo fight Mayweather was the challenger and Castillo was the champ. It was robbery to give a decision to Mayweather and a 3-4 point UD was fully justified for Castillo given that as mentioned he was the champ, the aggressor, he landed more, he landed at a higher percentage, and landed almost 3x as many power shots. It's laughable to suggest that a fighter who landed at a lower percentage somehow managed to land the cleaner shots especially when he also landed 1/3 the power shots.

    A close fight would have been floyd winning the last round.

    He didn't.
