So who won tonight? Castano or Charlo? Controversy aplenty?

[_Rexy_]

Just finished watching the fight again. Contrarily to most judges, I'm not afraid of scoring a round even. There were at least four of them, including the 12th.

Castano's pressure was effective only in spots, especially in the first half of the fight, where he missed the target time and again as Jermell countered him effectively with jabs and crosses. Basically, Charlo's ring generalship was way superior in the first half, then Castano shifted gears and started putting him under serious trouble until he got caught in the 10th.

Charlo by one point on my scorecard, but the draw is fair, and a Castano win would not have been a scandal.

Charlo won, and you gave FOUR even rounds??


lmfao okay.

lmfao okay.

It's not always a case of "a million flies can't go wrong", man. I'm neutral, watched it twice, and reached this conclusion. That said, six points for Charlo are ridiculous.

This fight reminds me of Kovalev vs Ward I. I had Ward up, but most people had Kovalev winning that fight in dominant fashion.

Look closer at the first six rounds, that's all I can say. Castano was not that effective, third round aside. And he was hurt worse than Charlo was, when he got caught...

Hey everyone. I missed the fight. Reading through the feedback, it seems that the feelings are very high tonight. Castano won but got screwed over? Some people calling it a robbery, and Adelaide Byrd is once again getting called out.

I'll check the replay tomorrow or later in the week, but it seems like its worthy of a discussion.

Castaņo won the fight.

lmfao okay.

Then what? He gave Charlo 5 rounds i assume 10,11,12 closso where are the other notclose 2 rounds??? Since he said Chaelo won by a point thats 5-3 Charlo. And 4 even...

Score makes no fkn sense.

YEap, I agree!

Castaņo was aiming for Charlo's brain but could only hit his face.

I don't understand because of the bad typing, however - to be clearer - I scored the 10th 10-9 for Charlo, not 10-8.

And you are right, the even rounds are three, not four. My bad...

Round 1: 10-10
Round 2: 10-9 Charlo
Round 3: 10-9 Castano
Round 4: 10-10
Round 5: 10-9 Charlo
Round 6: 10-9 Charlo
Round 7: 10-9 Castano
Round 8: 10-9 Castano
Round 9: 10-9 Castano
Round 10: 10-9 Charlo
Round 11: 10-9 Charlo
Round 12: 10-10

Charlo wins 116-115, if I have done my maths correctly..

My man, Charlo did get hit, but also avoided many of those blows, and countered efficiently. Watch again!

Charlo got exposed big time as a mediocre fighter.

He already was rather overrated to begin with. But Castano is overrated as well.

I don't care if your boyfriend got hit, all I am saying is Castaņo could not find his brain, therefore, went for his face, which hi found all night long.

My boyfriend? I never liked Jermell Charlo one iota, see my comment above. I just have a different view on this particular fight, which I'm not afraid to express.
