    Great fight. Castro would KO Benn mid rounds. Nigel was too reckless at MW. He would get some good shots in but Castro had an iron chin and could take them IMO. the more mature SMW version would be a different story.

    I think Benn would outwork him in a close fight. Castro had the better chin, but didn't have great punching power. It would probably be a war.

    As long as the winner fights Juan Roldon, I don't care. Just get me tickets.

    I think Nigel operated on a quicker speed setting than Jorge, so i dont think Jorge is going to impose himself on Nigel, Nigel may come out all guns blazing looking for a sensation, but immediately post Watson he was mutating into the more patient stalker, but as he showed against Doug Dewitt he was still capable of Late Thunder.. i think it is Nigels fight to lose or win, its not a domestic rivalry, like Watson or Eubank, or up against someone imtimidating like Barkley or McCellan who would get Nigel's 'Back to the Wall' Fires Burning.. No this is a 'Clear Head..Put it to Bed' type of fight... Nigel wins on Points... could look a bit like his later fight with Henry Wharton ?

    Benn on cuts or stoppage brutally.
