Jermell Charlo vs Brian Castano Post Fight Review

Just a brilliant fight all around although the bad decision and fact that probably 1/10th of the people talking about circus reality fights even knew it was taking place does sour it a bit.

I have been in the sport my whole life and in all honesty my area of scoring expertise is definitely in Olympic/amateur/Golden Gloves point counts but that said I still know how to score a pro bout. I had it Castano easily taking the decision with a 116-112 victory.

How any of these judges gave Charlo the win let alone 117-111 is embarrassing. At least we got a fight of the year contender and Castano really showed what an active and aggressive fighter he can be

Good analysis by the way. Charlos corner should have helped him find a counter to that straight. You can't keep eating those round after round by flicking out a jab

It's the 117-111 wich is scandalous, there's always a judge who doesn't watch the same fight.🤓

It was an excellent performance by Castano, clearly won from my vantage point. But he also came the closet to getting knocked out in the match too. It was an intense amazing fight, I pray they have a rematch.

I had it a draw.

I knew Castano would do exactly what he did
No surprises
He’s a great fighter
But he was up against an absolute mafia
Great video

Your review is spot on. Castano needed to win one of the last few rounds to seal the deal. The judge who scored it 117-111 should never judge a fight again. There has to be accountability with these absurd scores and judges. For what its worth I had Castano edging Charlo ever so slighty. Bring on the rematch but I doubt Charlo wants any part of Castano now.

I would love to hear your analysis of the rematch
