Prime Jose Luis Castillo vs. Prime Kostya Tszyu, who wins?

Kostya Tszyu was a tremendous fighter, but Castillo is more proven. That said, it's a close fight to predict but I give castillo the edge based on styles.

Tszyu needed leverage to connect cleanly, and Castillo imo is a batter pressure fighter than Hatton.

 

Castillo by ****.

 

Castillo uses more measured Chavez-esque pressure. He wont completely starve Kostya of room like Hatton did. Its more his thing to bide his time and chop a guy down.

Jose is used to being the bigger, stronger man in there...when that advantage gets taken away he does struggle somewhat.

I see Kostya winning this at his best. He will pick up the points early and I think his power and shot selection is enough to discourage JLC enough to get the victory.

 

No way, Hatton was much faster, and really that wasnt a prime Tsyzu that Hatton beat. Tszyu was far more proven than Castillo especially at 140 where he was stronger than most of his comp. Tsyzu was a big physical 140 pounder. Castillo was a big 130-135 pounder.
What fighters has Castillo beaten that rank up there with Tsyzu? None.

 

Pretty Boy Floyd Joy Mayweather Junior :deal

 

You realize that Phillips is much tougher and has a better chin?
You realize that Castillo's only win against a decent opponent at 140 was a controversial SD?
Maybe Castillo's style is all wrong for Vince?

 

Really I must of missed that one twice???

 

It must be a ***** not knowing how to score a fight. Maybe one day you'll learn.

April 20th 2002. three judges had their scorecard prefilled, because how anyone could score the fight for floyd 116-111 or 115-111 is ****ing beyond me.

Then in the rematch they score it closer???!! :nut :yep

Corruption anyone?? :deal

 

It's a difficult fight to call. Castillo was a better fighter, but Phillip's length could give him problems. If the fight is on the inside Castillo wins and if it's on the outside Vince could take it. I would give Castillo the nod as I feel the fight would take place mainly on the inside.

 

Ok fair enough.

I recommend his fight with Vernon Forrest if you haven't watched him apart from the Tszyu fight. Vince was tough as nails.

Let us not forget what Tszyu did to Forrest in the amatuers either. THAT was a thing of beauty...

 

It was a nice good fight. But amateurs are amateurs and pros are pros. Look what Pinto did to Cotto.

 

This from one of the few knuckleheads that had Morales beating Barrera in their first fight,what a ****ing muppet.

 

True UliUli, true... Just wanted to throw that out there in case anyone didn't know about them fighting. It's well documented on the internet...

 

Yes, and you're a ****ing moron for thinking the 1st fight was a clear cut win for Barrera. Staright up.

:yep
