...Both men in their primes; Who wins this battle in between 2 modern mexican legends????? This content is protected This content is protected
Castillo. There's no such thing as prime Marquez at 135 though. Marquez was prime at 126. He was less than 80% of his former self by the time he got to 135, and he was no longer the counterpunching master he once was at the weight because much of his quickness and reflexes had left him. Castillo bullies him on the inside all night long, drags him into a war, and comes out with a hard fought but convincing victory.
JMM's prime was 126/130, definitely not 135. Castillo that fought (and beat) Mayweather would beat JMM.
Lets assume JMM had the same reflexes and quickness like he did at 126 and 130...Would that make a diffrence??? a h2h battle so to speak...
JMM by wide points decision. Possibly a late stoppage, considering Marquez looked to have really good power in stopping Casamayor and Diaz.
I think you're exaggerating. Yes, Marquez was good at 126 and 130. At 135 he lost his some speed and he became even more flat-footed.
Very tough fight. I think I give it to JMM by close decision. Two things that will lose the fight for Castillo, he doesn't get going until the 4-5 rounds, pretty much giving away those first few rounds. And then trying to push JMM to the ropes the rest of the fight, where JMM would be landing a lot. Castillo's greatest advantage would be his strength and endurance in this fight. JMM would come out hurting but with the win.
