Castano put hands on Charlo. I thought he won, but I can somewhat see a draw. Definitely was no 10-8 rd in that fight so get that Larry Merchant shyt outta here. Judges were on some rocks during the fight.

Mell needed to implement the strategy Tarver used against Glen Johnson in the rematch. Push Castano back with volume and let the heavy shots come to you. All that poor mans Roy jones pot shotting won't cut it, especially if you don't have the foot work an angles to pull it off.

Aleem should have won the 1st fight, but that could have very well been a draw.

Rolly's personality sells his fights because even his knockdowns and KO's are rough and ugly to watch.
I agree on your strategy. It was a poor plan by James to have Charlo just pump the jab.

great overall fight, it was close but i think castano won. charlo was given sound advice from derrick james all night and just didn't listen. fighting from the ropes, head hunting and just loading up for a shot is not the business. its weird he's kinda regressing and falling in love the newfound punching power and technique.

castano was busier and hurting jermell more than he let on, jermell kept smiling and egging him after shots which is the big sign you gained respect. that 9-3 card was crazy. the way charlo sounded afterwards he don't wanna run that back. jermell could have jabbed all night controlled the fight and then when he did hurt him, he punched himself out by headhunting in those moments. some more body work and jermell coulda got a kd or 2. he does still have a good resume at 154 and doesn't wanna move up to affect his brother status but jermall probably will have to eventually go to 168 cause he not getting a good fight at 160 unless he fight andrade and don't seem anxious for that.

side note- charlo and castano wives can definitely get the pipe lol

good fight i would like to see a rematch if it happens i would love to see live maybe at barclays if they had it there.

No issue w the draw or close either way. Constano put a lot of pressure on him and not just pressure w punches. It seemed like Charlo was a millisecond late on all his shots because he was thinking too much while Constano was punching. Harrison already showed w a good workrate you can make him second guess his shots in there. Constano tossed in constant foot pressure, feint pressure and movement along w the workrate and it was looking bad at times there for Charlo.

They def need to run that back tho entertaining scrap.

Shiieet, and Mell barely did that. Jab wasn't consistent at all.

You don't be guys like Castano by trying to bomb them out. You gotta control them first. Mell only had control when he was hurting Brian or pushing him back. Other than that he got pressured and outworked and rocked on several occasions.

He just couldn't figure out the high guard.
