    2 Argentinian Middleweight champs. A matador vs bull match up. Does Martinez outbox Castro with his superior speed or does Castro have a shot at pulling off a surprising comeback?

    I loved them both but I have to go with the speed/athleticism of Martinez to win a UD. Castro was tougher than a two dollar steak but the natural gifts that Martinez had gives him a huge advantage. Jorge definitely has his moments though

    Martinez would peck and scoot his way to a decision four times out of five. He didn't have the pop to hurt Jorge. Bout number 5 and Castro drags him into the trenches and batters him.
