    This is it. Lara's chance to be at the top once more . To me from past experience you either need a weight advantage .Height advantage and some serious power and youth to beat Lara or to hurt him .I just think castano is to small . Yes he has a good work rate . But I just don't think it's enough. I believe this fight is massively underated. Boxing fans need to appreciate this type of fight two top 154 pounders going at it . Lara's chance to prove he's still at the top and Castanos chance to prove he is legit . I am a fan of both fighters .I want castano to win I really do he is young and if castano wins he is young he can do alot more for the sport in making fights with jermell and Hurd ,Harrison . I want castano to win because he can actually give us exciting fights . However I just don't see him beating Lara. Lara by UD is my prediction but I want castano to win . What's your pick ?

    Lara was seconds away from beating hurd at his own game. The knockdown in the last round gave it away. If he fought smart he can beat hurd.
    Castano is no hurd.

    Lara KO or UD too slick
    I wouldn't be surprised if Castano crippled & KO'd himself at this point. Agrentine boxing scene is in shambles currently.

    I'm perplexed by and have a real hard time distinguishing what the deal is with you, are you a troll or just really stupid?

    Brian Castano is the guy who beat Derevyanchenko in the WSB:

    Castano has the tools to beat Erislandy Lara, and I see him doing that. I'm not sure how exactly, though — Lara is too good to lose by KO. So, it could be Castano by decision, having dropped Lara a couple of times, for example.

    I'm picking Lara to win but...castanos volume of punches are brutal the guy doesn't let you rest . He mixes his punches upstairs and downstairs . I would not be surprised if stopped Lara late

    Yes he does. I actually hope he wins he's young and has talent . I want to see him in fights with hurd and jermell
