Brian Castano

I find Brian special similar to Sergio Martinez. I agree he needs to be more active as you say. I think Brian has alot more dog in him. He's the type that gets hit, and you can expect he's gonna hit you twice, and harder too. I think he carries more power than Sergio, who was at one point one of my favorites, but doesn't quite have the speed and footwork together as Sergio did. Speaking of Sergio, he doesn't need to try to prove anything at 45 years old, IMHO.

i admit i'm very biased but not just 'cause brain is from argentina, he is also from my neighborhood. i know if it happens is going to be tough though. what bothers me is his inactivity he is already 30 and he barely fights. Thats cool af that you are from the same neighborhood! Makes it more special! I know Keith Thurman, and have for at least 12 years, and I feel like that about him. He's special, just needs to keep himself injury free. He'll be back in January. I can't hardly wait!

Well if Castano can beat Texiera, which I think he can, then he has the other 154 title. That makes the fight much more likely to happen. I also liked how he was able to bob and weave his way in on Lara, which was very similar to the approch he will have to take with Jermell. Plus Brian is hell on body shots. He gets in consistently, Charlo will face so serious adversity and problems! I'm all for it!!!

brian is already in america (i think in LA) so that makes me think that the fight is happening (or that at least he is fighting this year) brian is better than d-chenko imo, he beat him in 2012 (wbs) and this is the 154 lbs charlo, the lesser of the the two. brian is a really good preasure boxer with faster hads, might not punch that hard but his volume is really good. i like his chances vs charlo but ofcourse, first, he has to get trough teixeira. Dean I lime the match up too. I belive he's well above Derevyanchenko, imo. Also like the fight with Lara. I think that also helps bolster my opinion

Anybody know if Castono is gonna get back in the 154 mix? He impressed me versus Lara. I'd like to see him vs Jermell Charlo. Thoughts..... Opinions? I know I butchered the name. Isn’t he WBO mandatory? Him vs Texeira would be a good matchup. Brazil vs Argentina too. I’d like to see a rematch with Lara too.

I actually think the 54 Charlo is the better of the two when he isn’t trying to end fights like his brother. Although Mall has really looked less “brutish” in comparison these last couple fights. That’s how I used to view the two. One as the sharper, quicker of the two with Mall being more crude in his approach. You may be right about Castaño being better than Derv (though the pro experience Derv has built up against top of the food chain talents is vastly different) but I think he will be in roughly the same spot as Derv was against the clearly bigger Charlo who has the skills and know how to exploit the size advantage. It’ll be a nightmare at distance and he’ll be playing with fire inside. I’d love to see the fight and be proven wrong, I’m very high on Brian but I’m giving props where due right now with Jermell. I do think he’s that good. i admit i'm very biased but not just 'cause brain is from argentina, he is also from my neighborhood. i know if it happens is going to be tough though. what bothers me is his inactivity he is already 30 and he barely fights.

What's your 154 rankings? 1 Charlo 2 Teix 3 Lara 4 Castana 5 Hurd 6 Rosario 7 Harrison 8 Williams 9 Lubin 10 Funduro I don't have a Ranking but yeah that ranking seems accurate. I doubt Hurd can make 154 again though, he is looking extremely heavy and a long way from 154 right now: View this post on Instagram I’m not the old me.

I hope we see him soon too. I'm a fan. No clue where, when or who he'll be fighting next doe. I heard similar as is being mentioned about a title fight but that seems forever ago now. I think the problem is it was supposed to land on a Golden Boy card back in April. GB only has 2 more cards they're doing this year. So, if it doesn't land on their next card then who knows. Fight may go to oblivion.

He IS in the Mix at 154! He is Top 5-10 in that Division for sure Just waiting for the WBO who are dragging things out when it comes to his shot for the WBO What's your 154 rankings? 1 Charlo 2 Teix 3 Lara 4 Castana 5 Hurd 6 Rosario 7 Harrison 8 Williams 9 Lubin 10 Funduro

brian is already in america (i think in LA) so that makes me think that the fight is happening (or that at least he is fighting this year) He’s supposed to fight Teixeira but I’d be lying to you if I had any idea about what’s going on there. Not sure he’s big enough or strong enough to compete with Mell. He’d get caught eventually and would struggle to get inside. He will get inside, but he will be eating hard jabs and short hooks for his trouble. And then he’ll get inside and try to exchange with Mell which I woukd advise against unless you can punch also. Hell, that might look similar to Mall and Derv, with less polish from Castaño brian is better than d-chenko imo, he beat him in 2012 (wbs) and this is the 154 lbs charlo, the lesser of the the two. brian is a really good preasure boxer with faster hads, might not punch that hard but his volume is really good. i like his chances vs charlo but ofcourse, first, he has to get trough teixeira.

Castano vs Teixeira for the WBO is next hopefully.
