    Two Tough Argentinean "Wild Bulls" of the middleweight Division, Jorge actually got his hands on a world Title, Juan did not, But Juan did have to go up against a certain Marvellous Mr, I am not sure if any other Middleweight around at the time could have beaten Juan that Night, Lets say one for our South American Friends ...15 Rounds at Luna Park... Juan or Jorge..

    I think Roldan wins this via decision. Both guys had tremendous chins. Roldan was the harder puncher and stronger. Castro spent quite a bit of time at 154lbs.

    I like Castro in this one, and think he might stop Roldan around 11 or so. I am impressed by the pressure that Roldan brings unsettling Fletcher to the point that he couldn’t get off. But Castro is at home with his back to the ropes (a poor mans Galindez perhaps), and won’t just be overwhelmed. I see an early lead by Roldan seeing a momentum shift around 4 where Castro begins to assert control. By 8-10 it’s even on the cards but Castro is in control. In 11 he lands and ends what would be an exciting slugfest!

    I see Roldan winning with his edge in power. The problem with Roldan was he had great power but he left himself open. So he was not hard to hit, but in this case I think Roldan would land his punches against a guy who was not at the level of some of Roldan's bigger fights.

    Roldan was a beast and was relentless, scored good wins vs Fletcher, Kinchin and Corro. Was pretty big for a middleweight too and i thnk he gets the win against Castro
