[Boxing]: Charlo vs Castano - July 17

[Dave1]

I've added a poll already, so fire on:

Other betting options are now available on sportsbet, like Winner & exact rounds and Winner & round range.

I'm predicting the fight will not go to distance, 10 rounds or less, Charlo by KO/TKO.

Ah, that's the reason why there's only one vote and I voted for Charlo because you just posted the poll.
I placed a small bet on Charlo, so let's see. Hope he will not fail us. 
The advantages are on his side, so hopefully he will use those inside the ring.
The difference may be is how both boxers prepared for this fight.

Or how they are going to execute their game plan. Of course, this two have prepared very hard so I would say they are even in that category. But the execution could be the critical part. Will either one of them stick to the game plan when they feel each other power? Or will they have plan B if plan A didn't work? But since Charlo is the favorite in this fight, so you made a good bet on him. And hopefully Castano will not derail Charlo's plan to clean up this division for good. Or fight better fighters next for a good pay check.

3 votes for Charlo, this fight is less than 24 hours from now.

Reading the some YT analysis and it seems that they are in the consensus that Charlo will win this fight. But it won't be an easy fight for Charlo, they said that Castano will make the fight difficult for Charlo to execute as he will be coming forward in this fight, and btw Castano is a lefty, if Charlo can't adjust with southpaw, it's going to be a tricky fight.

Make it 4, I'm backing Charlo to win this fight and it's only the method of winning that I'm thinking at the moment and more I'm inclined that this would be a win by Charo via decision, and looking at the odds, it pretty attractive.

In terms of experience, of course Charlo is more superior than Castano, Charlo has won almost 34 fights and only lost once from 35 matches so far, of course this fight will be a fight that is quite meaningful for him because only one step away Charlo will be able to become a boxer who undeniable in the 69.8 kg class, but even so Castano is not an easy opponent for charlos, because Castano also really wants to win the fight so that he can become the first fighter to become the undisputed champion in the junior middle class with four titles, moreover Castano is a boxer who has strong stamina and body endurance and has an aggressive style of play so far in the ring.

I don't want a diversion on this fight but this fight will just be going to be one of the fights that will bring Charlo to call out either GGG or Canelo, the Charlo brothers have power but they will have a hard time on both GGG and Canelo, all voters are in favor of Charlo obviously it's not the kind of fight that will have a threat on Jermell, but I'd like to see if he can come out with a spectacular win, just like what Canelo has been doing.

This is 154 lbs fight, I doubt that Canelo can go down that low. His twin brother in campaigning at 160 lbs. So most likely it will be his brother that Canelo is looking for and not Jermell. Unless either GGG or Canelo beat Jermall, then maybe Jermell can move up to 160 lbs and try to have the narrative of avenging his brother's lost to either of the two.

Yeah, looking for a spectacular performance from him on this fight. He has all the tools to beat Castano with one punch ko.

Here is the final weigh-in:

Brian Castano is from Argentina and you can see that he will supported by the Argentinian community.

Both camps are in a heated argument, but the fighters looks very calm and relax. There will be fireworks in this fight and don't sleep on it.

It looks like Charlo is really pump up on this fight, I can't wait tomorrow to see this.

I'm also gonna tail you win this one and bet on a Charlo knock out. Extra motivation for him to fight in Texas again, but there's a lot of Latin Americans as well to give love to Castano. So let's see, it will be good and competitive until Charlo will find his range and go for that ko.

[AverageGlabella]

The heated argument I thought looked very suspect and I think it is mainly for promoting the fight instead of there actually being beef there.

I'm looking at Charlo's inactivity though, almost 300 days of non boxing? Hmm, it might affect him here early, as he might experience what we call ring rust. We have seen fighters this year experiencing this and they have to adjust in order to win specially if they are the champions. So it could be some boring early part of the round and Castano's might steal some couple of rounds in the process. But in the end, Charlo might find his rhythm back in time to claim a UD win.

Not enough of an effect imo. Charlo should be winning this match comfortably. Castano's has shown a good chin though and I can this fight going the distance regardless of the result. I have a small bet on Charlo via decision.

Unfortunately, the match ended as a draw. A lot of us are hoping that Charlo will win on this fight, and am guessing a lot also betted on him. So maybe, we will see part 2 of this match very soon.

Castano performed better than expected but it was not really a surprise that it was a draw. There was always some doubt about how good Charlo was. It was a close fight and the draw seems fair to me. They should have an immediate rematch and next time I would favor Castano. His skill level seems superior to me. Charlo has good heart and can punch but he is a limited fighter when it comes to technique.

[Baofeng]

Yep it ended on a split draw, on my personal card it was 114-114 so I think they got the decision correct although one judges score it for Castano 117-111, the judge is from Puerto Rico, the other judge from the US scored it 114-113 for Charlo and then for the draw 114-114  Nevada’s Tim Cheatham.

It was come from behind though from Charlo, he didn't dominated the fight as what I have predicted, so it was a lost to me. Not sure if there is a rematch clause, because there is a lot of controversy and drama on the decision.

Why it seems that most of the Fight happens this pandemic ends up DRAW?  i don't know what's behind this lol.

Disappointed as I am looking for Charlo Domination in this one.

I'm backing Charlo in this match but watching the fight I give a little edge on Castano but that fight was for the undisputed belt and neither fighter dominated the other so I think the draw decision was fair and hope an immediate rematch will happen this year. Wonder what fight that judge who gave 117-111 Charlo, was watching hehe.

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

The way I see it, Charlo let Castano dominate him in the ring. What by I mean by that is that he is just sitting on the corner and let Castano swing on him all night. There was a time that he was caught and almost fell and knock down. The bad thing is that Castano doesn't have a huge punch, so what he did is volume puncher and he has a solid chin as well.

I agree with the decision that it should be a draw, Charlo didn't left his hands go, it was only in the last 3 rounds. And it seems that Castano has gas out already that's why he was able to take advantage of that championship rounds.

If there will be re-match very soon. I think, I will go for Castano the next time around. Since both boxers know each other already inside the ring. They will know the strategies how to defeat each other. But it would be a challenge for Charlo, so he may really want the re-match to be on his favor. Let us see if they will arrange the re-match very soon.

I do hope that we will have a rematch soon. The ending was very controversial indeed, specially on how one judges score a lopsided victory for Castano. I think Charlo over estimated Castano here, not saying that he didn't train for this fight, but he was surprised by how Castano becomes so aggressive that he needs to cover the majority of the fight and that's where Castano stole some very close round in the early part of the match. He is lucky that he got a draw, it might have been a big upset and he would have lost all his belt if not for that one judge who score it 114-114. I didn't see Charlo winning though, I think Castano in my book is the winner in this very close fight.

[cabron]

It's a draw which I guess we all have different views to it but I think Charlo won the fight. He did allow himself to be in the corner but you can see he was just docking every punch that Castano throw. And every time he hits back, he shakes Castano. Stealing rounds work well but it definitely good to watch the rematch and will probably bet next.

charlo got lucky on this match. because even some unofficial scorecards, they are favouring castano. but lucky for him that the final decision depends on those 3 judges. i guess if there will be re-match, charlo should better prepare or else, castano will rip all those belts. was rooting for charlo because of his edge over castano. but castano really made a move inside the ring.

I thought you were predicting it to be a draw which would be a ballsy prediction and probably a good return! Charlo won and I think if they do setup the rematch Charlo will win again. Castano does not have the technical ability to beat Charlo. Charlo is too quick, powerful and technically better that it would take a unorthodox strategy for Castano to beat him.
