JCC Sr is a different beast altogether. That fight I would favor JCC Sr over Loma at this stage. Not JLC
Stevie Johnson was 5′ 4½″ and featherfisted. He gave Castillo hell is 1st fight and even more in 2nd. Now, current Loma is way more skilled than Stevie, is taller, hits harder, has better speed Can't see how Castillo can solve Loma's puzzle. And for Loma haters - don't compare Loma today and Loma in his 2nd pro fight (he has only 5 round fights max, 4 rounds as a pro, and anyway Salido broke all the rules).
Floyd Mayweather Jr was 4 inches taller than Stevie Johnson, longer reach, faster, sharper, smarter, and more accomplished. Your point?
Floyd had troubles in the 1st fight, not so much in the rematch. Styles make fights, too. Castillo wasn't on the level of Pac, ODLH and few others yet he gave Floyd tougher fight. But only in the 1st fight. Castillo is good, but far from great for any knowlegeable boxing fan.
I thought Salido was going to expose Loma. But that didn't happen.....I honestly believed Salido would dominate and possibly knockout Loma when the fight was made. Simply because it was so early in his career. I thought it was too ambitious to throw him in with a former world champion like Salido. While I had Salido winning by the thinnest of margins, I wasn't expecting Loma to do as well as he did especially late in the fight where he had Salido in a lot of trouble. I also had JLC losing to Floyd by a very slim margin but didn't expect Castillo to trouble Floyd as much as he did.
Castillo easliy, He's a much better version of Salido not to mention bigger, Another thing is Loma is not as skilled as younger Mayweather nor has power Mayweather had, I don't see a way Loma wins
Loma 8-4 9-3 type just too mobile and fast for Castillo. Obviously assuming Loma comes in at lightweight.
