I’d assume Charlo will be better prepared for Castano style N Derrick James would have Charlo ready N Castano gets stopped :manny:
:mjlol:

Castano don't seem like he much for the theatrics like Harrison. Castano got charlo figured out.

I was one of the few at the fight who was not suprised it was a real fight he was going into, people really thought Castano was gonna get knocked out in like 3 or 4 rounds I kept telling them Castano can fight.
I think if castano had a higher caliber win on PBC TV ppl would have put more respect on his name. Like if he got the W in the Lara fight instead of the draw but getting draws him and now Mell in fights most ppl think he won gets him that respect

I'm not so sure Charlo knocks Castano out in the rematch. Just listening to Charlo interviews before the fight and watching his body language in the first few seconds, I felt Charlo wasn't as confident as he usually is. Unless Charlo actually lets his hands go, I don't think he knocks him out.

Second Harrison fight he was getting his ass whooped until he knocked him out. But he had more stamina in that fight and looked to be depleted Saturday night by the 10th.

Castano lost the last 3 rds on all judges cards N was almost dropped… that’s not having it figured out breh

Mell can lose a rematch no issues but I don’t think he does :yeshrug:

I actually picked Castano to win and I doubt he wins the rematch.

It's not a Wilder situation where a nikka gotta completely level up his game from the ground up. Mell just has to make a few adjustments and he can win and prolly by KO.

i thought brian castano won all of that fight outside of two or three punches. so if he can fight jermall charlo without taking those punches, one was a counter left hook trading left hooks early - which he never got hit with again for the rest of that fight, which tells me he might have figured how to not get hit with that shot again - and the other was a check hook over the top of a right hand late - the replay showed that it was right hand and a left hook, it was not, it was a little check hook on the temple right before that - then he has less that he needs to fix than charlo does. to beat wilder, to him beat clear, that is, fury needed to figure out that right hand, and wilder, he had to figure out everything. i dont like picking the guy that needs to land a big shot to win the fight, thats not to say he will not land it, but i never like picking that guy.

He won the last three rounds because he took Derrick james advice and started ripping Castano with hooks to the body which were there the whole time(as well as left hooks) and it slowed his ass down. Castano keeps his guard tight, but really high. His body is a big wide open target.

Charlo-Castano Showtime’s Most-Watched Live Boxing Match Since December 2019

BY KEITH IDEC
Published Tue Jul 20, 2021, 11:09 AM EDT
Jermell Charlo-Brian Castano was Showtime’s most-watched live boxing match since December 2019.

Nielsen Media Research released viewership figures Tuesday that indicated an average of 422,000 watched the highly competitive, thoroughly entertaining battle between Castano and Charlo on Saturday night from AT&T Center in San Antonio. Showtime’s audience peaked at 536,000 toward the end of a 154-pound title unification fight that resulted in a controversial split draw.

Nielsen’s numbers for Charlo-Castano include only viewers that watched live on Showtime’s linear channel because Nielsen doesn’t track streaming services. ViacomCBS, which owns Showtime and BoxingScene.com, doesn’t release figures for those that stream Showtime live.

The average and peak audiences for Charlo-Castano were the highest for a live boxing match on Showtime since Gervonta Davis’ 12th-round stoppage of Yuriorkis Gamboa nearly 19 months ago. Davis-Gamboa, a WBA lightweight title fight at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, drew an average audience of 577,000 and a peak audience of 604,000.

Before Saturday night, Jermall Charlo, Jermell’s twin brother, was primarily responsible for Showtime’s largest audience for live boxing since the COVID-19 pandemic began in March 2020. Jermall Charlo, the WBC middleweight champion, helped draw an average of audience of 333,000 and a peak audience of 379,000 for his 12-round, unanimous-decision defeat of Mexico’s Juan Macias Montiel on June 19 at Toyota Center in Houston.

Charlo-Castano, meanwhile, was a back-and-forth fight in which each champion had his moments.

Houston’s Charlo (34-1-1, 18 KOs) buzzed Castano (17-0-2, 12 KOs) in the second round, clearly hurt him twice during the 10th round and hurt him again in the 11th round. Castano caught Charlo with a left hook in the third round that buckled Charlo’s knees, though Charlo recovered quickly.

Charlo’s comeback in the championship rounds enabled him to secure a debatable draw on the scorecards.

New Jersey’s Steve Weisfeld scored their fight 114-113 for Castano because the veteran judge scored the 10th round 10-8 for Charlo. Nevada’s Tim Cheatham scored Castano-Charlo a draw, 114-114.

Puerto Rico’s Nelson Vazquez strangely scored nine of the 12 rounds for Charlo, 117-111, a wide distance even Charlo questioned.

Charlo retained his IBF, WBA and WBC championships. Castano kept his WBO belt.

Charlo, 31, and Castano, 31, discussed the need for a rematch during a post-fight press conference. There was not, however, an immediate rematch clause in their contracts and mandatory obligations with the four aforementioned sanctioning organizations likely will send them in different directions for their next fights.

Castano-Charlo headlined a tripleheader Saturday night.

An average audience of 249,000 watched Showtime’s co-feature, Rolando Romero’s seventh-round knockout of Anthony Yigit. Viewership for Romero-Yigit peaked at 256,000.

The hard-hitting Romero (14-0, 12 KOs), of North Las Vegas, Nevada, dropped Sweden’s Yigit (24-2-1, 8 KOs) once late in the fifth round and twice during the seventh round. Their scheduled 12-round fight was contested at the 140-pound limit because Yigit came in 5.2 pounds overweight Friday for what was supposed to be a 135-pound fight for Romero’s WBA interim lightweight title.

The opener of Showtime’s telecast, an action-packed bout between Amilcar Vidal and Immanuwel Aleem, drew an average audience of 202,000 and a peak audience of 220,000. Uruguay’s Vidal (13-0, 11 KOs) edged Aleem (18-3-2, 11 KOs), of Richmond, Virginia, by majority decision in their fan-friendly, 10-round super middleweight match.

Judges Ruben Carrion (97-93) and Glen Crocker (97-93) scored their fight for Vidal. Judge Anthony De Los Santos scored Vidal-Aleem a draw, 95-95.

This draw a blessing for Charlo, cause I can't see him losing now if he adapts. I don't see Castano doing anything new now that would rattle Charlo

It took him awhile to listen to James..it was odd.
