Buckle up for Jermell Charlo v Brian Castano II.
Charlo claims he will be a different proposition after last year’s split decision draw in the super welterweight unification showdown. It must be hoped the judging improves too. Castano thought he won in San Antonio. I agree, but it was very close.
One judge scored it level, one scored it 114-113 Castano and a third scored it 117-111 for Charlo. In a brilliant fight so obviously close a score with that wide a margin did not feel right. Governing bodies must take a serious look at scoring and in cases of obvious variance ask judges to explain their conclusions in front of a panel.
