20-17 Jerusalem; another clear Jerusalem round. Big right hands from the defending champ to end the round. Castillo too weary of Jerusalem’s power.

 

Round 1: 10-8 Jerusalem
Round 2: 10-9 Jerusalem
Round 3: 10-9 Jerusalem

30-26 Jerusalem; better round from Castillo but not even close to winning it. Jerusalem still landing the cleaner and better shots. And he’s starting to target the body now too.!

 

Round 3
Jerusalem 10-9
Jerusalem 30-26

Castillo, more squared up, trying to break Melvin's guard. Jerusalem catching and countering most of Castillo's shots. Jerusalem very cerebral.

Round 6: 10-9 Jerusalem
Round 7: 10-9 Castillo

69-63 Jerusalem; close round. Castillo is getting hit but he’s still moving forward and really targeting the champ’s body. I actually think the challenger had the more consistent work here for his first round won on my card.

 

Round 7
Jerusalem 10-9 Close
Jerusalem 70-62

Both are starting to feel the pace. Castillo landed good shots on the inside. Melvin just still doing better, albeit starting to get a little gassed.
