Comments Thread For: Castano: Teixeira Wanted An Easier Opponent Than Me For First Title Defense

This seems like the sleeper best matchup so far this year. Genuinely wouldn’t mind seeing this fight. Shame it couldn’t happen in Buenos Aires, São Paulo, Santa Fe, or Rio....fans would have been crazy with the Argentina vs Brasil angle....but....pandemic.

Wouldn't have minded a Tim syzu fight. But this fight is gonna be a good one

This is a pretty good card from top to bottom.

Castano definitely a better boxer, but it will be interesting to see how he handles Teixeria pressure and high pace. Excellent match up.

Castano might be the best at 154
