Too one-sided for four stars…
What a beatdown. I felt like the fight could’ve been called off much earlier.
@ATBF: Four stars!? You must be from Argentina ;)
Olivier: I’m from Argentina and undoubtedly, this fight was really good . A 3 starts is too low and it is quite close to 4. So the 4 starts make more justice and are very welcome :-).
First time I saw Castaño fighting and honestly, I’m impressed
Castano is good,but the fight itself didn’t keep me on the edge of my seat because after a few minutes only, we knew what the outcome would be.
And only two stars for Luna vs Commey. They should stop drinking too much before watching fights ;-)
Pawel: I agree with you that the fight between Luna & Commey was under qualified and deserves at least 3 starts. However, it doesn’t mean at all that this fight doesn’t deserves the 4 starts since the technique involved here (you can well say just from one side) cannot be compared with the sort of street and disorganized fight Luna and Commey fought. On the other hand your comment about drinking is too rude for such a nice service we all receive from this server.
Hey tango. I would like to say big thank you to guys who search in the web and upload here pretty fast fresh fights. I`m really grateful for that! But they who give opinion about quality of fight should think about some changes in their activities. There is no way that Castano vs Vitu could earn 4 stars. Yes, Castano is great and exciting fighter, I like his style and I hope he will fight also in US pretty fast. Also this fight was really good, looking at action, amount of punches. But you can`t mark fight such high (4 stars) when one fighter beat, punish, hurt another one from start to finish… I hope Vitu will be ok after this what happened to him. And if someone don`t feel ok after my comment: sorry for that. But it wasn`t vulgar or too offensive, I think…
Hey Pawel: I’m very pleased for your answer above and honestly believe that your original comment was just originated because you, like me, that are good boxer fans get frustrated when somebody else judgement contradicts our common sense and/or understanding of this sport. It happened to me several times but since we are mature people discussing these facts in this forum I firmly believe that we should cool down and make our comments with absolutely moderation.
I feel sorry about my recrimination because your answer clearly implies that you are a nice guy and quite honest.
Best regards
Hope we will see there a lot of 4 stars fights in future ;-) And I also hope that Matthysse will get a full real belt some day – he deserves this like nobody else without belt – I really like him.
Regards
Pawel: I like very much Matthysse too, and as you, wishing for him the winning of a championship title. However, he is getting old and spite of being a good fighter the future doesn’t shine much to him.
Excellent fight which deserves the 4 starts, one of the best of this year so far but a little too much from one side.
Castaño is an excellent boxer with bright future. His shape, techniques and speed are incredible, second to none. He won all the rounds and overwhelmed his rival with a relentless attack. He is an accurate puncher and his combinations were superb. His rival was really though and in pretty good shape also but not able to use his reach advantage and southpaw stance. Castaño is a guy to watch closely in future bouts because isn’t an strong puncher but detroyed his adversary by incredible punch accumulation.
.
