    Brian Castano

    Anybody know if Castono is gonna get back in the 154 mix? He impressed me versus Lara.
    I'd like to see him vs Jermell Charlo.
    Thoughts..... Opinions?
    I know I butchered the name.

      He’s supposed to fight Teixeira but I’d be lying to you if I had any idea about what’s going on there. Not sure he’s big enough or strong enough to compete with Mell. He’d get caught eventually and would struggle to get inside. He will get inside, but he will be eating hard jabs and short hooks for his trouble. And then he’ll get inside and try to exchange with Mell which I woukd advise against unless you can punch also.

      Hell, that might look similar to Mall and Derv, with less polish from Castaño

        He IS in the Mix at 154! He is Top 5-10 in that Division for sure

        Just waiting for the WBO who are dragging things out when it comes to his shot for the WBO

          brian is already in america (i think in LA) so that makes me think that the fight is happening (or that at least he is fighting this year)

          brian is better than d-chenko imo, he beat him in 2012 (wbs) and this is the 154 lbs charlo, the lesser of the the two. brian is a really good preasure boxer with faster hads, might not punch that hard but his volume is really good. i like his chances vs charlo but ofcourse, first, he has to get trough teixeira.

              I hope we see him soon too. I'm a fan.

              No clue where, when or who he'll be fighting next doe. I heard similar as is being mentioned about a title fight but that seems forever ago now.

                I think the problem is it was supposed to land on a Golden Boy card back in April.
                GB only has 2 more cards they're doing this year.
                So, if it doesn't land on their next card then who knows.
                Fight may go to oblivion.

                  I don't have a Ranking but yeah that ranking seems accurate. I doubt Hurd can make 154 again though, he is looking extremely heavy and a long way from 154 right now:
