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

Castano style can certainly handle a fire fight.....he may not be slick but he has given slicker fighters problems

i honestly thought he was retired

dude took a beating in each of his fights

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.

yeah that high gaurd had Mell frustrated + the implications of the fight. Imo all thst had Mell in his own head

to me fire fight = eff the high gaurd lets go.

castano had a good game plan that first fight, i could be weong but Castanos strengths is being durable/rugged. I dont know of him being some skilled guy who can come with a ton of different styles, like j said i could be wrong.i see Derrick James having a plan deal with it + Mell no longer having that anxiousness of the first time being in an Undisputed fight. mell’s demeanor this go round seems very diff than the last fight (hence why he isnt doing ringside with the lions)

He'll definitely get dropped in a fire fight. Body shots got him retreating....
