As for Montiel,I just didn't see this coming. I mean he's choked in his 2 biggest fights but what a turn around!
The one thing i noticed was that Montiel had much quicker hand speed than Castillo, and that was the key. Castillo basically lost when he first went down in the 1st round, but what a body shot from Montiel to finish it off that was perfect.
