Horace Paganisports journalist and boxing specialist, admit to Clarion from Los Angeles: “In the last match I saw Castaño win, but close because he lost the last three rounds.” He added: “I felt like Charlo was underestimating him at first. For me Brian won a few points, but logically they tied and it was nonsense“.

The only concern is to find out what Brian’s real physical condition is because he twice asked to postpone the fight. The second times for an alleged injury to a biceps that is not very clear how it is because there is no evidence, ”he added.

Prior to consulting this medium, Ferdinand Peralta The technical director of professional boxing gave his opinion on the disputed arbitration decision: “I don’t justify the ruling but you have to understand that boxing is still a business. I think they did it in pursuit of the string of fights. “And he recalled another resounding case:” Recently, Yamil Peralta’s fight with Ryan Rozicki was an absolute theft. “
The coach and physical trainer gave his feelings about that fight: “For me, Charlo was completely shocked by Castaño’s disrespect. Brian was a very big kid, he had a winning mentality from the first round to the end and the heart he has is incredible ”, detailed.
The boxer from San Justo wants to win by knockout. He needs to finish on the fast track and doesn’t want meaning on the cards. Peralta reviewed the plan of boxy and stated: “I see the knockout as difficult. Possibly, I think Brian can take him ahead but it is not easy to knockout Charlo, he is a tough guy. Also, Castaño is not characterized as a born knockout, he is a overwhelming, but not a classic one-handed knockout like Chinese Maidana or Carlos Monzón “.
Clearly, specialists agree that the referee’s decision to set a board last July 17 was controversial, especially the qualification of Puerto Rican Vázquez. Does the business have an impact on the cards or is it just “appreciation” about what is seen in the ring? The question remains.
