Comments Thread For: Jermell Charlo, Brian Castano Fight To Split Draw in Fight Filled With Drama

[SweetPbfAli]

Just because you think someone won a fight doesn't make you right. I had it 116-112 Charlo and watched the fight several times and still had the same score. And if you don't like the outcome stop watching PBC fights.

You watched the fight several times already?

Alright look who was wobbled more in the fight? Castanyo was.

Who landed the sharper more authoritative shots? Charlo did.

Last but not least, who showed the better ring generalship in the championship rounds of a close fight? Exactly, you already know who that was.

A draw was fair.

these kind of comments always come out from fans when they know that their guy lost according to the actual rules of boxing…. Unless the fan in question genuinely doesn’t understand how boxing matches are scored.

“but compare their faces after the fight doe!”

Three yanks should not be judging a yank fighting a foreigner. The same one eyed BS keeps happening time after time.

IMO Castano pulled out a 1 point win, but it was indeed a tough back and forth fight with both men scoring well throughout.
Having said that... idiot (and paid off?) judge Nelson Vazquez needs to be permanently banned from the sport.
No excuse for that b.s. happening, especially in a high stakes fight like this one.
That type thing doesn't help the sport one bit.

This fight wasnt no dam draw. I wonder who was the idiot writer that scored the fight a draw in this website , it was probably the same idiot who wrote this article. Jermall charlos own trainer told him that they needed a knockout to win, he knew his guy was losing. Castaño won 8 rounds of 12 , minimum 7

Charlo, despite having a pretty good resume and being a unified champion, has some clear limitations that he can't seem to fix and he's turning more and more into someone who's looking for 1 big punch, 90%of the time it's the left hook on the inside, to end the fight. His offense is pretty predictable and he struggles to land on anyone with decent defense (guard or head movement) so he always has issues winning rounds unless he lands something big and hurts his opponent. He's also trying too hard with the defensive stuff which clearly isn't his style and it almost cost him his belts.

Castaño is a hard style for anyone though because he's a come forward guy who's hard to hit but he can be hurt, so if Charlo finds a way to use his jab and to work better off of it to be a little less predictable, keep the fight at the center, and catch Castaño with one of the big counter hooks on the inside, he can win clearly in the rematch.

I believe in the 2nd round Castano landed 2 left hook combinations. The ropes kept
Charlo from falling. I was expecting ref to consider it a knock down and give Charlo a
10 count. I will have to play first few rounds again.

Charlo didn't seem to eager for rematch or may have been on auto pilot repeating his
usual lines giving praise to his team. His ears probably still ringing. Charlo did tell
Jim Gray this was a different kind of fight.

Charlo did show a champions heart in last 3 rounds to avoid a disaster.

Close fight. I had Castano edging it. Why do some of you guys hate black fighters so much? I had no problem with the draw. Two great fighters.

I don't get all the racism BS either. People say some nasty stuff when they don't have to say it face to face. I also had Castano edging it but there were a couple of rounds that could have gone to Charlo to give a draw.

Both fighters put their belts on the line and sought out the most dangerous opponent and produced a great fight with high drama. They should be applauded, the only one that deserves anger is Vasquez who turned in a dreadful card.

[Goldie]

I had castano winning a close fight. Charlo made this a “draw” by refusing to come forward until the last 3-4 rounds. He coasted the first half of the fight and allowed the guy to push him back and his defense isn’t tight enough for that. He has to take advantage of his athleticism and power earlier and especially against smaller guys. Rematch is needed.
