Comments Thread For: Castellanos Heads To Vegas For Ponce De Leon vs. Mares

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Robinson Castellanos, the World Boxing Council's silver champion at 126-pounds, is heading to Las Vegas to watch full champion Daniel Ponce De Leon defend the title against Abner Mares on Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. He will be accompanied by his promoter Dr. Fausto Daniel Garcia of Boxeo de Gala.

Castellanos recently traveled to Panama and won a final eliminator against Celestino Caballero, who handed Ponce De Leon his first career loss.

The record of Castellanos, 18-9 with 11KOs, is very deceiving. He is much better than his record suggests and the last time has clearly beaten was a fifth round TKO at the hands of an 11-0 Mikey Garcia in 2008. Since that defeat, Castellanos has gone 14-2 and those two defeats were controversial split decisions.

What is deceiving about his record? He lost a few fights before Mikey KOed him and he's lost a couple since. He may be tough and a sturdy fighter, but his record speaks volumes about how tough he is. He beat Caballero, but Cab is slowing down. His only real chance is if Ponce and Mares beat the s##t out of each other.

He's won a lot of fights since those early career losses against guys with winning records.
