    I wasn't scoring the first time I watched it, but I felt Castillo easily deserved the victory. The second time I did score, and I had Castillo winning by a couple of rounds (I think). I remember it being a lot closer than how I felt the first time. I wouldn't call it a robbery and I wouldn't argue with anyone who had Floyd edging it, but do I think Castillo was unlucky not to get it, and I do think the scorecards were way too wide for Floyd. That was bull****.

    But considering he was injured in that fight, and he immediately settled the score in the rematch, that's all that matters.

    I thought Castillo won.

    Haven't watched it in ages, need to rewatch.

    Castillo won 3-4 rounds in the 2nd fight, which is still a pretty good number of rounds to win against Floyd. I think Castillo would always present a stylistic challenge for Floyd whether Floyd came in injured or not.

    I respect the fact that you made a score card, but really?

    Either guy could have won by 2 points. Very close fight.
