this weight class has hand speed, footwork and sufficient power to make fights interesting. Castano although appearing to give away a bit ot reach and height is definitely on his way up through the ranks. I would have thought that judging by the balding pate that the bumbling official had been living long enough to not only read but also to be able to add!!
Very good fight and close one but Castaño was more aggressive and precise connecting very nice right hand punches. The judge that gave Soros 112-116 was partial or blind.
