Just watched Spende/Ugas All Access. I feel like we’ve seen a lot of Spence over the years. All his FOX PPV’s had great shoulder programming as well. The farm thing was good to see.

I know this is a PPV, yet Showtime really needs to mix it up. I was hoping we would get an All Access for a non PPV card this year…like for Lubin/Fundora…show us some new guys. (like how we got the Charlo All Acess’s last year).

An Inoue/Donaire All Access would be interesting as well (I know that’s not on Showtime, just dreaming)

mell aint someone you want to fight twice. I was at the last fight and Mell was hurting Castano, I more so feel Mell got into his own head paired with Castano being rugged, vs Castano being better than Mell

I was there too. Mell was ripping those left hooks to Castanos body and was stopping him in his tracks. If he would of been doing that from the opening bell instead of round 6 and on Mell would of stopped him.

yup. Fight was frustrating to watch because as mentioned Mell beat himself compared to say the Harrison fights where Harrison was too damn slick. The fact Castano couldnt capitalize and get Mell out of there imo is further proof only Mell beats himself in the rematch.

Castano cant handle a fire fight and he aint a slick fighter

Castano's style would be difficult to deal with for almost anyone though. Very high activity, above average power, low center of gravity so he is hard to push off when he comes forward, and clearly he can take a lick or two, also he has a real high guard. He wouldn't be an easy fight for anyone he is a good fighter, he beat Spence and Derevyanchenko in the amateurs.
