Comments Thread For: Teixeira, Castano Reach Terms For Title Fight, Avoid Purse Bid

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

It's been a long seven weeks but a period which was ultimately worth the wait for Patrick Teixeira and Brian Castao. Tireless efforts between their respective handlers produced a reached agreement for their junior middleweight title fight, just in time to avoid a World Boxing Organization (WBO)-ordered purse bid hearing which was due to take place Wednesday morning at Nautilus by Arlo Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida.

"Golden Boy Promotions (Teixeira's promoter) and TGB Promotions (representing Castao) reached an agreement for Teixeira-Castao," Francisco Paco' Valcrcel, longtime president of the WBO informed BoxingScene.com. "There is no longer (a need for) a purse bid hearing today."

Great! Hopefully Teixeira pulls it off. I have never liked Castano.

Castano Easily

Easy decision for Castano. He's the most underrated fighter at 154 and will give Charlo, Hurd and anyone else in this weight class a very hard fight. His skills and pedigree are very good.

I like Teixeira but I feel Castano amateur experience will help him carry the day.

Looks like Argentina will have another champion, i got the Argentinian by mid to late rounds tko. Well done to TGB/PBC

Ive only seen the Brazilian once, and that was when he got merked in a round by Curtis Stevens, im not sure how much he has improved or how much you can make of him beating Carlos Adames, considering he was a pretty much unproven prospect? gotta go with Castano here.
