2 strong Argentinian pitbulls at Middleweight. Who would you have favored between the two? Who do you think knocks out the other?
Most argentinians would pick Roldán because he is viewed in a higher regard than Castro. Roldán would outwork Castro and win more rounds but I feel like mentally speaking Castro was stronger, and he could whack here and there some bombs and change the way the fight went, because Roldán could lose momentum if he faced some mishap during the fight... I´m probably being an ******* on Roldán here because I´m picking 2, 3 bad things that happened with him in a 70 whatever pro career fights but what can I do ? In Roldán´s defense Hagler blinded him in the second round with a thumb in the eye so can I really say he was mentally not strong because he got thumbed in the eye and could not fight properly from that on ??
Tough, tough fight to call. I think you're right ,most would pick Roldan but your analysis about Castro landing and changing the way the fight goes is an excellent point that made me stop and re-consider. I hesitantly think Castro could take this one in a great fight but in a match as close as this there is probably no definitively wrong answer.
i'll take Roldan here - he was a relentless beast on his best nights. See him vs Fletcher, Kinchen.......
