I’m convinced most the forum can’t see punch by punch

    It’s basically anyone thinking this was actually a draw

      Castano had a good left to the body. Everything else he was trying was just not landing.

      Lara was kind of schooling his throughout the fight, even the rounds that "looked like" Castano was outworking him.

        What is out working? I can throw a thousand punches and land 2 and I won the round? this is a chess match!

          Fully agree brother. Thats why the "looked like" was in quotes as Castano wasn't outworking him at all. Castano was getting rocked and his head popped back each round.

            Haven’t seen the fight yet, but the comments sound like another typical Lara fight. Where he most likely landed clean shots but spent large portions of the fight letting the other fighter get his own shots off and make it closer than it needed to be

              Can't see? No, we can all see shit... the difference is that people literally all see, or more accurately perceive slightly different details and all have a slightly different interpretation of what they notice actually signifies. None of us have a complete and objective picture of the world or any events that take place within it - including boxing matches - just our own subjective take.

              There ain't really a right or wrong answer here, the closest we can come is by acknowledging a consensus... and in this case that consensus is probably a draw or maybe a close win for Erislandy (although I actually saw a narrow win for Castano)

                It wasn’t , your right about that

                Castano 115/113

                Lara should start thinking about retirement

                  this is the only vid ive found , bad copy but it has to do for now

                  That's the copy I've been watching cos I didn't stay up to watch it live. Ain't really ideal to say the least.

                  I ended up 115 - 113 Castano but I might just revisit this one when I get a slightly better (and bigger) window on the action... mostly it's got just their upper bodies and they keep straying out of shot - you can't even see all the punches thrown. Also it doesn't help that you ain't got a round counter on there.

                      the TS sounds like he bet his mortgage on Lara

                      all the non emotional boxing fans saw this as extremely close, that could of gone either way by 2 points or a draw, i had it 7-5 castano....you know you should reconsider your opinion when complete spastics like robbie barrett & that other downy pillowfist? are agreeing with you.
