The main event on this card was fantastic. I thought Castaneda was done in the 2nd and he ends up taking both the 9th and 10th for me. Great fight and I hope they do it again.
These Pro=Box cards have been consistently good, and competitive. Not mismatches for their “in – house” boxers to look “great.”
