How far is Brian Castaño from having a chance of big fights at 154?

Post by LeeSanders »

Yesterday's bout vs Cedric Vitu seems to show that Castaño has grown up in stamina, work rate, and hand speed. There are some great fighters at SW. How do you see him against some of the top guys from the division?

i like him. good good fighter

seems like doesnt have much of a name though, and hes dangerous, so might be bad risk vs reward


maybe the wba will order him to fight the lara (wba super champ) vs hurd unification winner

personally i would like to see him vs liam smith

He is good but I think he is quite far from having chances against Charlo or Lara. He is 28 yo but has only 15 fights

I like the kid. He is an ascending great boxer to soon easily fit between the 5 best Argentinian fighters of the last 10 years (Martinez, Matthysse, Maidana, Baldomir and Narvaez).

He's a very complete boxer in terms of general skills and power. He had a very good amateur background (with wins over Errol Spence Jr., Esquiva Falcão and Serhiy Derevianchenko) and now is putting this on the real test as a Pro.

His fight vs (equally average-good boxer) Michel Soro really tested him and now with the KO win over Vitu put him on a scale of being able to fight vs top 10 boxers of his weight class. The worst is that his name isn't so known, but I think it is a matter of time.
