Weigh-ins are fun stuff however, they never have been able to see into the future.
Nice fight on the undercard with Amilcar Vidal and Aleem. I saw Vidal fight several months ago and was wondering when he was fighting again.
Charlo TKO. Too much power……
Easy fight for Charlo.
More of a happy-party than a weigh-in pic.
The Charlos always look so much bigger than their weight
Charlo , hug and kiss your belt´s for the last time while you can.
Those belt´s are travelling to the Argentina
Maybe to visit Castano in an Argentinan hospital.
I think you mean those “welts” are going back to Argentina? The only belt Castano is going back with is the one holding up his pantalones.

Keys for a Castano victory:
1) Work his jab to get in the pocket;
2) Keep his chin tucked to minimize the thump of counters. I believe Castano has been knocked down only once;
3) Once in the pocket, STAY IN THE POCKET with sharp combination punching (especially to the body);
4) Apply smart pressure to make Jermell uncomfortable;
5) Move his head by staying off the line;
6) Win over the judges by throwing 1000 punches to keep Jermell on the defensive, with limited punch output.
Castano has the mental/physical toughness to perform all the above tasks well. However, If Castano does not perform the above tasks for a SD victory, then Jermell will win by late TKO because the larger Jermell has a longer reach (for a solid jab) with quick, stinging counterpunching skills, athleticism and some pop. Jermell also has a solid chin.
Agree E-man….Charlo twins …have great focus,,.counter right hands deadly….have to be able to get through the fire to beat them….stay close,.. combination punch…. watch counters…no head movement like leaving a hanging curve against a great slugger…have to move that head at all times
I’m still picking Castano to win.
You would still be wrong.
