I think Marquez eats him up, but Castillo could make things really hairy for Juan w/ his size and pressure.
Marquez beats Castillo by a unanimous decision. Castillo was not very good with movers. He was a classic bully brawler and any prolonged movement would mess with his power shots.
Katsidis took JMM deep. Castillo is bigger, more skilled, more relentless, and punched much harder. JMM could be in serious trouble, but I agree that Castillo's pressure favors JMM more. Shave my ass, Willie?
Marquez was tough so I don't see Castillo's power getting to him at all. He jumped up 2 division and ate everything Floyd had at 147 for 36 minutes so Castillo's power would not sway JMM. NO.
Castillo beat Stevie Johnston, Joel Casamayor, and he lost (but most folks felt he won the 1st) Mayweather fight. All greats movers. He did fine in all those bouts and those on his resume are some of the best movers back then. Just sayin.
I guess this fight is between Castillo from the first Mayweather fight vs Marquez from the Diaz fight, very hard to pick a winner in this one, Marquez might hit the floor at least once or twice making it very close or even a close but clear win for Castillo
True ,true. I forgot about Stevie Johnston fight. Castillo had the same trouble with him that he had with Floyd. 2 MD decisions, 1 majority decision, 1 majority draw.
People forget that Castillo was a vulnerable fighter, and stopped at just about every interval of his career. Marquez was never stopped, despite an equally long career and weight jumping.
