He's a dead ringer.

Russell picking him apart from the outside, Cardenas hanging on the ropes looking for a Hail May, a few land partially but not enough.

 

No reason to get all snippy, I really like Lara too, but I just think Castano is that good. And yeah, I think he can beat Hurd as well.

Russell comes out very aggressive, going for the kill, he gets Cardenas on the ropes and launches a sustained attack for the first minute and a half, Cardenas slipped and rolled his way through it.
