    I clearly said in the OP 'he's a very well-rounded fighter, with explosive hand speed, fast feet, a sharp jab and he's comfortable at all ranges', the context of everything is very clear unless you're ******ed, which you very well may be.
    I don't care what you just said, he doesn't look like Maravilla, he doesn't fight like him and he certainly isn't the next Martinez. Stop getting annoyed when you get owned and accept you were wrong.

    I don't understand how anyone with eyes can see this guy marching around with a high guard and think "oh damn, that's Martinez".

    Like the other guy said, he is more like Tyson if anything.

      You don't care what I said? Then why the **** are you asking for my opinion you dribbling spast*c? I don't know what your idea of 'owning' somebody is, but it certainly isn't asking for their opinion and then saying you don't care about their opinion.

      Like I told you last time, you've yet again missed the point of the thread, whether or not he's like Martinez is irrelevant, the point of the thread was really just a heads up on this guy, to create a bit of buzz for a fighter I think has a big future. That's obviously too complex for you.

      You clearly have some sort of mental illness.

          Maravilla was one of my favourites, Castano isn't a clone of him but they have a lot of similarities beyond nationality.

          Martinez was more loose and slippery if you like, but Castano has the explosive handspeed and combos, the light feet, the angles, the ambush attacks Martinez had.

          Watch the vid I posted, not the best opponent but you get a basic idea of what he's like. He usually uses his jab more but his opponent was very tall, the lack of its use probably had something to do with that

            I've had my eye on this guy for a while and I'm convinced he's the next big thing. He was a standout amateur and beat guys like Spence and Derevyanchenko, he's transitioned very well into the pros now. He's a very well-rounded fighter, with explosive hand speed, fast feet, a sharp jab and he's comfortable at all ranges.

            He's definitely one of my favourite prospects atm, his best weight is 154, which is one of the best divisions in boxing, there are some big fights to be made for him.

            Keep an eye on this boy, he's special fighter.
            looks like a good prospect, he needs to land with the right promoter ASAP,
            at his age he can still build a fanbase if promoted right...

              Lol, just Realized that my best friends know Brian Castano because they work for one of his main sponsors. They say Brian will be playing soccer with them next weekend. I will try to plan an interview or something for boxingscene in the future as it seems most of my friends have access to him
