Jermell Charlo vs. Brian Castano - July 17, 2021

[gregregegg]

bet my house judges arnt giving castano the rounds fought at range. needs to keep marching fowards where he is winning and wearing on charlo. close fight.

[margaret thatcher]

68-65 castano for me

bullying charlo and landing much better shots, charlo is mostly hitting on gloves and throwing tentatively

[Jeff_lacy_ko]

Charlo has in reality won 1 or 2 rounds

Who knows about the judges though

[gregregegg]

Castano got hurt about 30 seconds to go in that round. luckily charlo didnt notice. top of the head, and took a weird step fowards, but got away with it, just a quick balance wobbler i think.

Round 8 - Castaño’s best so far. Landed a lot of right hands. Ducking Charlo’s wild left hook.

Castaño 77-75.

[margaret thatcher]

78-74 bri

[margaret thatcher]

charlo needs to step into some shots. he is throwing a lot of pulled shots from too far out and they are either falling short or being blocked. very little effective punching

[gregregegg]

Charlo looks content to go for a home town decision. he isnt fighting like someone down on the cards. and by most acounts he is well donw.

Round 9 - Another Castaño round. The Argentine is on the brink of pulling this off.

87-84 Castaño.

[margaret thatcher]

88-83 castano is bossing charlo

[gregregegg]

Big charlo round. alrthough he started loadddding up and missing a lot, interesting to see how he comes out this round, dont think he punched himself out, but might have to take a breather part of this round.

[bobcatbox]

Round 10 - Charlo comes back! He had Castaño on the brink of destruction. Castaño showing big heart!

96-94 Castaño!

[gregregegg]

Charlo had one flurry in 11, gave it to castano. For me charlo needs a coulple of knockdowns or a stopage, but, being boxing, Both must assume they need this round to win.

Should be a good one.

[bobcatbox]

Round 11 - Very close round. Charlo hurts Castaño early and late. When Charlo comes forward he dominates Castaño. I don’t know why he’s fought this entire fight on the back foot.

105-104 Castaño heading into the 12th.

[squiggy]

I'm not gonna have the strength to listen to them read these cards.

[tiny_acres]

Now that was a fun fight

[bobcatbox]

12th - Charlo. Landed his best jabs of the fight. A nice flurry to finish it. Blow for blow otherwise.

A very close fight, and not an easy one to score

I scored it a draw 114-114.

[bobcatbox]

Now that was a fun fight

Fight of the year?

[gregregegg]

I have Castno slightly up i think. (didnt see first 2 rounds though... assumed one each) i expect charlo to win though. i also expect at least one card wideeee for charlo.

Great fight, hope its not spoiled by a mad card.

[skanksta]

I thought Charlo won that - can see why peeps disagree...

[skanksta]

He made it look bad - moving back and getting caught on the ropes - but he felt in control the whole time. Had the edge in power too.

Let's see...

[gregregegg]

I thought Charlo won that - can see why peeps disagree...

Can live with it. But if theres a fornicating 117-111 in there ill flip...

[tiny_acres]

I agree with the draw

[Jeff_lacy_ko]

9 rounds for charlo
Im done
Bye

[margaret thatcher]

I thought Charlo won that - can see why peeps disagree...

i think he could win legit if you give him the 10th 10-8, which i think is reasonable. but i thought castano won at least 6 rounds pretty clearly, so the most i could see charlo winning by is 114-113
