Jermell Charlo vs Brian Castano

I wasn't overly impressed with Castano, he should have KOd Texeira for a start for the amount he hit him in the early part of the fight.

 

Charlo knew Rosario had power and he respected it that's why he fought much more cautiously than he usually does. Against castano he won't have anything to worry about. He has a huge advantage in power size and speed. The more they exchange charlo will start to get the better of those exchanges and he will hurt Castano who will not like the fire power coming back him. Castano's work rate will slow and Charlo will start to bully and systematically break his man down until they stop the fight or he kos castano. Charlo also has a great gas tank and will never give up and never stops trying to win.

 

He was strategically retreating, like the Romans when they were fighting Hannibal. The eventually won as well.

 

castaño is not a power puncher, he always fights with a high workrate throwing punches non-stop while controlling the center of the ring. he only goes for the ko when the opponent is clearly badly hurt like he did in the 12 against teixeira. other than that he always fights cautious and looking to outbox and drown whoever is in front of him rather than blast them out or look for big punches.

 

Fair enough it's the first time I've seen him and I'm not trying to disrespect your countryman

Texeira looked very poor and I would have thought that a top prospect destined for big things would spark someone like that

 

Seems like a faith based prediction to me.

 

Charlo beat Korobov. But I think a rematch would be good. If it does happen, hopefully Korobov is 100%.
