    Physical resemblances and styles are remarkably similar!

    I expect Lara's lethal left hand to put Castano on his ass everytime he lands.

    12-0 with at minimum 4 kds

    Anybody else see the same thing?

    Very poor attempt at trying to troll someone who's spot on about Castano. He stops and beats Lara convincingly, becoming the first to do so.

    Hot take: You're a really shitty God awful repellent troll.

    Castano is a more defensively sound heavier handed shorter version of Hurd, with far faster hands, if you knew **** about boxing, as in can actually process what you're watching as oppose to being a drooling fangirl, you'd realize that.

    God I hope they make this fight!!!

    This guy is a hype job, just like Hulk Hogans love child Seldin

    He barely beats Soro and he's going to beat Lara?

    Yeah right

    If you genuinely can't tell the difference between Seldin and Castano, find a new sport to follow, because YOU LITERALLY DO NOT KNOW **** ABOUT BOXING. I hope this is an act and if so.... I've got to admit, its quite impressive the lengths of stupidity you're willing to stoop to sell an angle you're pushing. But if its not, wow, you're ****ing ******ed.

    Depends on how much Lara has left after going through the wringer against Hurd.

    Castano's faster, has a good engine, and has a style that traditionally troubles Erislandy, but I'm not completely sold on BCC's skill set as others on this site seem to be. If Lara can find the range early with the left, this could turn into another Lara-Williams kind of fight.

    That's not the right fight for Lara after what he went through vs Hurd, but a good fight nonetheless

    Stylistically Lara poses a hell of a lot of problems for a short stumpy fella.

    How do you see Castano getting past the long reach with his stumpy legs?

    He doesn't have the talent of a Canelo?

    They are both wider than they are tall and swing like cave men lol

    What does Castano actually do that is any good? and he better have a chin on him lol

    Try actually watching one of his fights instead of a highlight reel, then maybe you could see for yourself. Since you think he barely beat Soro, its pretty clear you haven't seen it. You don't just walk away with a win in a close match in France, it wasn't close, he won the fight 8-4, it could be argued 9-3. Also it seems you haven't seen Soro all that much if at all either, because if you had, you'd be far more impressed than that win than you are. Soro is basically the Cote D'Ivoire's version of Erislandy Lara, only orthodox and a little more aggressive.


    To answer your question, he does everything well, especially cutting the ring off and swarming his opponents, kind of like old Swifty, only he doesn't eat flush shots for fun.

    Here, try watching him. You might be impressed.

    Here's a little Soro for you to educate yourself with.

    Here's Soro doing a Lemieux like number on Tapia, before Lemieux got to him.

    I thought Castano was short also, but I've seen him listed at 6'1.

    He must cut some serious height because he's definitely shorter than Derevyanchenko in the ring.

    5ft8 rounded up, that's if he's lucky lol
