What? Even without the belts, these two are easily top 5 at superwelter.

I think it's an excellent fight. If Charlo makes it look easy somehow, it doesn't mean that Castano was a poor opponent.

Well then who the **** should he be fighting at 154? These are the top fighters at the weight. Should he be fighting a lower-ranked opponent? Someone he already beat?
