Charlo vs Castaño July 17th Showtime PBC

[cuban23]

Charlo should've won this fight. Poor game plan from him and because of his passivity he had to fight his way back to a draw. Just terrible game planning. Same thing happened with Lara although that was more of a back-and-forth.

These fighters don't take Castano seriously and then end up on the wrong end of a decision or a draw against him.

LOL Considering that Gale Van Hoy got away with crap scorecards for 25 years, this isn't surprising.

Texas has the worst commission of any state that gets major fight cards.

Those saying, “I’m not mad at a draw” are just glad Charlo didnt lose

I was rooting for Castano but this is a close one TBH.

I scored it for Castano, but I was madder about the wide scorecard than the draw.

If a rematch happens it has Jermell written all over it, as he can do several adjustments. I don't really see where could be Castano's room for improvement. He's just a WW going after a MW that should do better the next time around.

If he means he's eyeing a run at 154 I can't really see what advantages he brings against natural MWs. It's not like he was a world beater at 147 and I don't see him pumping up the workrate at a higher weight.

I don’t understand why he wants to move up…. Lubin already said he will welcome him

[Mr2urbo]

He really is, I never understood why he is so revered in sports, he’s that guy that makes everyone in a room uncomfortable and nobody really wants to talk to, the interpreter is terrified of him, he looks like he can snap at any minute for no reason, he sucks bad.

 

[Cariñito]

Draw is the right score. No one won that fight.

 

[tekkennlee]

They are good friends and training partners under the same trainer Derrick James. I dont think they would fight.

Oh they will fight Spence has that fire in the ring and when it comes to Boxing legacy Belts he has no friends, Spence will try and really hurt Charlo.

 

[CatchnShoot]

Castano won clearly.. I had him up by three rounds at the end.. Charlo just did not throw enough at all. Outside of the two rounds that Charlo hurt Castano (each being a single point round, because Castano didn't go down), Charlo was far too passive with the vast majority of what he did throw hitting gloves/arms.

117-111??? That guy should be tarred and feathered.


In any case, I bet $5 on the draw, so I won $80 but that was some of that bullshit.

 

[Wanderlei4Life]

9-3 Charlo ?!!!!!

what a damn joke

 

[Nova44]

Scored it for Castano but a draw seems fine i guess. The wide card is a joke just as it was in Choco-Estrada 2.

 

[BoxingMMA]

Castaño won this but whatever. He was never going to get it.

 

[Nova44]

Oh and i can't wait for someone to brutalize Romero. Haven't disliked a boxer this much in a while.

 

[JayE]

Missed the fight, but lost a decent amount of money betting on Castano by decision. Sounds like Castano likely deserved it, but I knew going in who was likely to get the better scores, and I've heard it was a 7-5 deal where one or two could've been 10-8 Charlo. You live and you learn. Can't be too mad about it.
