The odds are changing a bit in the favor of WBC, WBA and IBF world champion Jermell Charlo ahead of his clash on Saturday with WBO world champion Brian Castaño for the undisputed 154-pound world title. Carlo opened at -275, immediately dropped to -225, leveled off at -250 for a while, then shot back to -275 at about 36 hours till fight time. Sometimes bettors like to look at the fighters on the scales before making their final decision, so there may be further fluctuations. The official weigh-in will take place at 2PM Central time and stream live via the Showtime Sports YouTube channel and the Showtime Boxing Facebook page.

  • Late money on Charlo?! Is there something I don’t know??? Castano is a good fighter, however he’s going up against the most dominant Jr. Middleweight we’ve had in years!!!

    • Dominant against whom exactly? What notable fight has he won? Faded Austin Trout? Tony Harrison,who he also lost to?He needs a career defining fight.

  • Charlo brothers are very good fighters tough…tough to beat….. adequately skilled ….it is their ability to focus and adjust that makes them soooo tough….that it underestimated cause they are intimidating in other aspects…that ability to focus and adjust is superb

  • If Charlo took the fight its because it’s going to be a definite win for him otherwise he’d dodge elsewhere

    • There is no such thing as a definite win. Who did he dodge and when? Another uneducated low level hater.

      • Agree…Charlo twins have belts …not a belt….belts cause they are for real….

    • You might be right. He is tough but at times he seems to lose focus especially when he has a fighter on the ropes and can’t put him away.

  • Maybe I’m missing something here. But I envision a monotonous fight with round 1 looking like round 12, with Charlo easily out maneuvering Castano.

  • The casual fan here in the US not many people know who Castano is he had a great amateur career and Charlo can definitely not overlook him he is very skilled and always smothers you doesn’t give you the advantage of using your distance don’t be surprised about an upset

  • It hurts to see a fighter like him having all these belts… A belt means shit today..

  • Do any of you proofread, or hasnobody in this thread ever been taught how to write a sentence properly? Pretty sad that this country is losing its grammatical skills quicker than it is the sport of boxing.

    • Says the gentleman with a glaring grammatical error in his first sentence.

    It’s a shame waste of talent
