IBF Super Bantamweight title at stake. Steve Molitor ( a lefty ) vs Ricardo Castillo ( righty ) Started watching at rd 7 , the broadcasters from Canada have Molitor up 5 rds to 2 . Molitor was cut about the left eye a few rounds before , bleeding some. Rd 8 - Molitor busier a fluid puncher , better footwork able to turn and fire. Castillo throws slower wider punches, fairly good defense. Molitor round Rd 9 - Molitor round. Rd 10 - Molitor round. Faster hands and feet Rd 11 - Molitor more aggressive lands some nice straight lefts. Molitor starting to open up on Castillo. Clearly Molitor's round . Rd 12- Castillo is more aggressive this round but still Molitor is more accurate and takes this round. 118- 109 Molitor . Molitor clearly ready for the best at Super Bantam
Good technical fight and good physical condition, to watch this Canadian Kid, Jose Luis was in the corner of this brother but that was not enough.
with the exception of the round where he got cut with the headbutt and caught with a couple clean hard shots, Molitor looked very good for most of the fight, controlling it with his movement, landing good right hooks and satright lefts, mixing in some good body shots and the occasional uppercut. The fight went as expected, I called 118-110 in another thread, scores were all 118-109, with Castillo losing a point for low blows.
