    Julie Lederman scored Bradley vs Chaves 116-112 for Chaves and Gonzalez vs Rungvisai for Rungvisai. She's trash.

    I actually had a big load of real money on Castano (money line, so got my money back with the draw) to win the fight so i think i didn't have that much biasm torwards Lara. I picked him in the league but if have to decide between real money and a virtual league i'll always picking the real money or better say i would always like to win my boxing bets rather than losing them.^^ I don't think Lara should be ahead on any scorecard in here, i think the draw is probably the best he can get from that as he simply wasn't doing enough most of the rounds. There were many close rounds where Castano looked better, busier and landed good shots but also was very open to counter hands and his aggression wasn't as effective as you can think. It was definitely a close fight and i think if there should be a winner it can only be Castano who looked great out there and beat Laras ass up for many rounds while Lara isn't shot but surely aging. His footwork was non-existent in the second half. He also looked pretty tired from time to time.

    Further, i think it's pretty pathetic to comment and harm people for their scorecards or emotional comments / jokes. Some guys in here are following an agenda to make a case out of everything for nothing. Please, leave and let us score and enjoy fights in here. It's pretty disgusting that's always the same bunch of guys doing that **** and always @CST80 is the target. He's doing great work in here and one of the reasons why the forum here is as good as it is so better do some quality work here on your own or STFU & GTFO.

    "Ortiz is a very good and experienced fighter. He's technical and smart but he's not as intimidating as people say he is. I respect Ortiz but I don't think he's the best fighter I've ever faced," said Hammer, who has faced other top boxers like Tyson Fury and Alexander Povetkin'


    Obviously the fighters in question Hammer is alluding to here are Tyson ''The Gypsy King'' Fury and Sasha Povetkin but I strongly suspect that he's also alluding to David Price and Mariusz Wach as well. I like Luis Ortiz and he's one of a tiny handful of 3 or 4 big men in this horrific vomit inducing HW era populated by arthritic Herman Munster clones, gangling uncoordinated windmilling basketball buffoons, and NFL, MMA, and Kickboxing rejects who all took up the sport late who actually possesses skills. However, as I've mentioned on here numerous times before, he literally could not evade a right hand if you gave him a ten minute warning it was on its way and Hammer was catching him at will with his right all night and was holding his own everytime he actually decided to let his hands go.

    Donkey Wilder is the only puncher Ortiz has fought. To be fair to Ortiz, he probably would've beaten Donkey if he was 70 years younger and had they fought on a level playing field sans the skullduggery and all those rabbit punches the back of his noggin had to endure that set up the KDs and the finish.

    Exhibit A.

    Alexander Pov literally could not miss with the right hand as soon as it dawned on him that Ortiz's big ol' Jupiter sized noggin is addicted to eating them

    Should Castano be able to make Welterweight? He'll look tiny against Hurd / Charlo / Mungia

    Honestly, that's a decent card. I'm not sure what Farhood was watching last night. He's usually pretty good and I like him, but he really confused me last night. I had Castano winning comfortably, 117-111. I gave Lara the 2nd, 7th and 10th. The 8th was very tight, but even if I give that to Lara it's still 116-112 Castano. He was busier, landed more, landed harder, and brought the fight. Solid scrap, but I thought Castano got hosed too. But, there were some very close rounds that I gave to Castano.

    You talked up Castano like crazy, and then, when literally everyone else saw a close fight, you had the LONE outlier card of 11-1.
    It really looks like you're the one who saw the fight you expected, instead of the one that happened.

    Or how about this, the people expecting a Lara schooling saw what they wanted to see, and gave close rounds that Lara looked better in to him, when he didn't actually deserve them, and didn't give Castano the credit he deserved in them. Don't make that confirmation bias argument with me, because that door swings both ways. Yeah, my card was wide, but completely feasible, but what isn't feasible, is the people with Lara winning. In no way shape or form did he do anything that won him more than 6 rounds, and that's being insanely generous.
