Let's Talk Jermell Charlo vs Brian Castano: Who Ya Got?

[KTFOKING]

His style is why I believe Charlo will win this fight with clean and effective punching. Charlo won't have to chase Castano down, which actually plays into what Charlo wants to do and that is counter him and hit him with combos as he comes in. Granted Charlo also has never had someone who will throw 1000+ punches at him over 12 rounds either. I just can't wait to see it it's gonna be a great fight.

Possible, but Castano, while there to be hit, he's a guy that pressures intelligently. He's not just coming with wide winging shots, but he's trying to break you down round by round. I feel like I was harsh in the description I gave there on Castano. I'm a fan of his and have always been high on him. I knew he was going to beat Teixeira's ass and he did just that.

Great fight indeed, can go either way.

fights in texas so expect charlo to win unless he gets stopped

This is unfortunately an unavoidable part of the equation... it makes what I'd otherwise see as a 50/50 55/45 either way kinda fight into a likely Charlo win cos I'm not really seeing the stoppage either way as being hugely likely here. I think Castano outworks Mell in most rounds but he's also gonna get seriously stung a coupla times possibly even dropped. Neutral ground, 50/50 with edge to Castano, in Texas 65/35 in favour of Jermell.

will be interesting to see how it plays out alrite

The more time goes by, the more I lean BCC by points. Charlo has never faced anyone like him, and he's been outboxed a number of times only to win via KO.


The people who are acting like Charlo becoming undisputed is a sure thing are in for a shocker.

Definitely, no way is this a forgone conclusion. This is a REAL legitimate 50/50 type of fight.

obviously i'm biased 'cause brian isn't just from argentina but also from my neiborghood. love the dude. the closer the fight gets the more i see charlo as trinidad and brian as naraez LOL, i let some comments get to me. still, what worries me is charlo's power, is it legit? it depends on how good brian can take his shots, if the fight gets past the first half then i believe a victory is more than posible as brian's engine is superb. also, is hard for me to believe that brian is weaker than rosario, harrison, lubin for name a few and the more remarkable opponets jermell has faced, yeah, brian was dropped by de jesus but he also took soro's and lara's power. but any analisys is kinda pointless, anything can happen.

Agree with the bolded. Castano is an all around fighter, he likes to come forward, but he can fight on the backfoot too when he needs to. Plus he is liable to throw 1000+ punches while doing all of it.

Like I said I'm picking Charlo, but wouldn't be suprised at all if Castano took it either. This is definitely a 50-50 fight.

Agreed man, it’s definitely a pick ‘em. I think a lot will depend on how Castano deals with Charlo’s power, if Charlo can make him hesitant to press forward then that will be a huge advantage for Charlo. But if Castano is comfortable putting pressure on Charlo, I can’t see Jermell keeping up with his output and work rate.

More 50/50 than people think! I'll go DRAW like Lara vs Castano OR a very Controversial hometown Decision for Jermell

I like both fighters so I don't care who wins, respect to both for agreeing to this Undisputed Matchup and may the best man win
