    thats a hard one for me. on one hand i dont feel he has the legs to deal with loma, even though he pressures very effectively, which would bother loma, especially on the inside. i didnt see loma deal very effectively with punches to the midsection. they were getting in at midrange. but i dont think castillo has the speed to deal with loma, or the footwork to corner him. floyd fought too much off the ropes with castillo, thats where castillo shines, i dont think loma would give him that phone booth. loma by split decision, as castillos aggressiveness gets rewarded.

    Loma can do some really cool things in the ring, and I enjoy watching him fight, but I think we're starting to see his limitations. Not to say that he doesn't have the talent to overcome them, but it will take some adjusting on his part. That being said, I think Castillo would always be a hard fight for him. They're opposites, Loma seems playful in the ring Castillo is a serial killer. I can't see this ever being a good matchup for Loma.

    Castillo has size, pressure, power and savage body punching. I'd actually favour him in this.

    Castillo at his best was miles better than Salido also.

    Great point. Salido was great but Castillo was way more refined.

    This is an easy one. Size matters. Castillo knocks him out in under 6 rounds.
