    Both were around the same size. Please give a careful analysis of this fight at 135 (weigh-in is 24 hrs. before the fight), no simple answers please.

    It’s gonna be an inside fight ...both guys can be dirty. Nobody is getting knocked out . Zivic UD mainly because he’s the bigger man

    They were not the same size. Zivic was a welterweight

    Zivic proved himself against a higher level with wins over guys like Lamotta, Henry Armstrong and Sammy Angott. Still, Castillo should have a decent chance with a modern ref. Hard to say for sure without any decent film on zivic.

    Zivic lost a quarter of his fights.

    Diego emphatic decision.

    That was in the same-day weigh-in era. Castillo rehydrated to 147 lbs. (welterweight) against Floyd.
