go ahead and just continue to control the temperature though he's got to pick up the pace he's got a crowd botta he's got to go to the body and slow down the mobility of the 35 year old youth is certainly on the side of castano here tonight but the wits intelligence would go the other way to the challenger in lata straight left that found its destination for lotto quick 65 seconds remaining here in the second [Music] [Applause] he's [Applause] this piece is something that is advantageous for lotto [Applause] he's [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] this one is scheduled for 12. you're joining us around the world we greatly appreciate it [Music] straight left by lotto to commence round number three now lada's starting to get more active but castano has got to really proud and put him on his heels put his back against the ropes because that's when castano can attack he's at this rate you are not going to get anywhere near his landing spit nice right hand followed by the left castano to the abdomen [Music] about four straight times in the united states from 2015 and 2016 pakistan going to the body of life [Applause] to the body [Applause] [Music] a lot more energy that took to the body by [Applause] [Applause] combination by lotto [Music] [Applause] that got underneath is [Applause] [Applause] um [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] foreign [Applause] look at some of the work and there is some holding that lada has been involved with and this is later on here in the round again more excessive [Music] molding [Applause] it's round four this one's scheduled for 12. lara and castano jammed to the i would have to say i have a 2-1 in favor of lot i'm not really gonna get caught up too much in the scoring because it is i mean it is there's a method to it but when you're calling a fight and you're trying to judge vastly different straight left that connects by wild however estania certainly is coming alive in this matchup and it's going to be very close and again ricky gonzalez [Applause] straight left by lotto [Applause] which in the lead-up to this matchup [Applause] [Music] 29 years of age is in the biggest moment of this professional prize fighting career under a minute left [Music] [Applause] distance making me uncomfortable final moments of this fourth round castano having another solid outing [Music] [Applause] he smiles as he goes [Applause] let's take a look at some of this work by brian castagna uppercut up the center of the jab and just really pouring it on the left hook to the body good punch variation by the argentinian but that is landing lotta in a bad spot here himself as we are getting ready to start the fourth round round five i stand corrected the action has been so good i even even forgot what round it is and be all over that is [Music] so this is the question that we had coming in does not have the mobility to keep a younger fresher fighter off of it in the first two rounds that was the case in the next two rounds it hasn't been the case so it'll be interesting to see how this unfolds when it comes to lot on if he's able to keep his distance [Applause] oh [Applause] is again left all over the place [Applause] [Music] ten seconds [Applause] [Music] [Applause] has [Applause] oh you can put your hands just throwing caution to the wind this is a very hungry and young world champion not willing to let up one bit and one iota to the former champion in lotta round six this one's scheduled for 12. if you are in his landing lotto he needs to keep his distance use your job easier said than done but he should be going to the body of castanya trying to slow down the younger fresher fighter castano has got to attack he's done that from three through five but will he be able he's gotta not think as much and just use his reflexes and let his punches go because if you think too much that is a piece that favors against the horses [Applause] [Applause] right hand that [Music] by castano still having considerable amount of issues with keeping castano at bay boom that is looking for an opportunity [Applause] [Music] significant [Applause] continues in his frognatic bass [Music] foreign [Music] he has his back on the ropes and if you're ronnie [Music] does his best work especially in this matchup stylistically lana needs to stay right where he is right now in the center of that ring and not have his back touch the ropes because that who is six years younger than him will push and use his forearms and throw tons of punches and lada is in a position where he can't get out of it they talk about fighters that father time is undefeated in this sport i'm not saying that lada's career is drawing too close by any means but this is a lot up that is not as mobile as we have seen in the past this is a castano who has gotten considerably better since we saw him in the united states [Applause] [Applause] another now lana's accuracy is starting to increase he's starting to land bigger shots and more authoritative punches and he got out of the way with his back off the ropes this is what lana needs to do you should tie it right now it's this moment when castano comes and tries to press him against the ropes ty up spin him around along the referee to get in there separate them and then go right back to work on your [Applause] [Music] attack channel on the jaws known as the american [Applause] oh in the previous four rounds [Applause] [Music] god [Music] [Applause] he's getting tired keep boxing that's all we got to do is box all right boxing is the key to it all right just don't stand still on the road something okay everything else looks good just don't stay on the ropes okay right keep using the jab just keep throwing the one twos at them all day that's it once you let the one two go go come back with that double jab i mean keep stepping around don't stand in one spot keep stepping around this guy okay i gotta have you around here don't stand right in front okay the bell sounded by lana round eight this one's scheduled for 12. i think it's a very close fight between the two the champion ryan castano the challenger at his landing lotto near parkway center in brooklyn 150 pound title is on the line [Applause] [Applause] is he's confused it seems like is castano based on the technical ability of lana he's looking for his openings sometimes you have to create your own openings with castano is figuring out right now big left hook that found the chin a lot of pakistani just over the middleweight [Music] [Music] again i mentioned in the first two rounds this is their beneficial tuesday on the shields we just want you to continue to box keep boxing as you walk this is what we want very close [Applause] [Music] [Applause] did [Applause] [Applause] once you put together [Music] talk about accuracy and here's lana coming back big straight left that was his best punch second time landed it clean right on the kiss of [Music] looking to make the first defense of his championship lada looking to become another champion once again in the center of that ring for castano he needs to focus in on pressuring attacking that islam and not remain on the outside because he will beat and he's getting pickled straight left that's stopped on his tracks hit the body to stop [Applause] is [Applause] his back against the ropes right left him to the body by castanotta [Applause] that includes [Applause] that's [Applause] scores in this fight [Applause] castano [Applause] [Music] and at the top okay but you got to keep it there stay off of these ropes for me okay that's all i need for this dude stay open everything else looks good some of the action from round nine that is jam as a range finder and then boom there's that straight left right on the button but castano not to beat

Winner of Tszyu vs Hogan will be mandatory for Castano. Looking foward to seeing Castano fight Tszyu in what would be huge Stadium fight in Aust. Castano has the advantage in experience and though Tszyu is not a big puncher like his dad he is slick and not without a chance.

Great fight, need Castano Vs Lara 2 or Charlo asap

Argentina produces a lot of good mid-level boxers, Castano is probably the best of the last decade (considering amateur and WSB performances).
