Does Eliseo Castillo have a good punch because if he does Wlad could be in trouble.

hhhmmm, he's 18-0 with 14 KOs and his last fight was a decision over michael moorer.... other than moorer, he hasnt beaten anyone of note, but beating moorer is better than anything meehan or rahman have done lately....

I was actually very impressed with Eliseo Castillo against Moorer. He's a very well schooled boxer (product of the Cuban amateur system) and bounced well on his feet the entirety of the fight staying out of Moorer's punching distance. He also has pretty quick hands and picked his spots well to mix it up. Vlad did own Byrd put that was before and I'm not sure what's left of anymore. I'm actually going out on a limb and picking Castillo to decision him

It's hard to say I feel like Wlad's carreer is nearing its end. However like what guru has said.... He hasn't beaten anybody in a higher caliber yet except for Moorer.

unless wlad himself quits, i dont think his career is even close to over... look at how long golota has been able to hang around and he's NEVER beaten anyone... wlad is very marketable, i.e. big white guy, with power and has a big folowing.... even if you dont like him, you have to admit he's much more entertaining to watch then most heavey's, even when he loses

If any of you are betting folk, I would bet against Wlad in every fight he has now till he retires. Wlad shouldnt even be boxing anymore IMO. He has a bad chin. He has bad stamina. And he has real confidence issues. All three are recipes for disaster. Castillo is capable of beating him.

The whole focus of the Castillo fight, at least what I remember, was how it was over for Moorer. Then Moorer KOs Jirov. I need to go back and rewatch the fight. I do remember Moorer won like one round of a scheduled ten. I wouldn't put money on this fight either way.

this fight prob wont happen, wlads recent matchups have all fallen through. anyway it would prob be a good fight but i would bet against wlad because he hasnt looked good since before sanders.
