    The first six rounds were extremely boring,but Casamayor was certainly winning at this point.The action picked up in rounds 7 and 8 and Castillo got back into the fight.Casamayor dominated round 9 his best round of the fight and the momentum seemed to be firmly with him.Castillo succeeded in making the fight a brawl in the last few rounds and swept rouns 10,11 and 12 clearly.

    Round 1 Casa
    Round 2 Casa
    Round 3 JLC
    Round 4 JLC
    Round 5 Casa

    A close good fight...however not sure what Castillo did in the 3rd or 4th to warrant him a win in those rounds?

    Boring fight but tense nonetheless.

    Casa started great but as soon as he tired Castillo took over. JLC ran away with the late rounds and rallied enough in the end.

    I remember Casa rocked JLC with a nice left uppercut at some point. Great weapon of his.

    rounds 3-5 could have gone either way,but it certainly wasn't a robbery like some people say.

    It was a fair decision IMO. Castillo legitimately won.

    Castillo took it, he looked stronger than Casa, who had his moments. "El Cepillo" got rocked in the last round, JLC knocked his mouthpiece out and shook him up. It was a good fight.

    The best I could see for Castillo is a draw. He didn't do **** in the first half of the fight.
