Probably best round for Castano. Bit surprised Charlo looks like he's really overthinking things. Stuck between styles needs to put them together take the space back

Castano rocked all over by Charlo. Nice bounce back Charlo has him in a bad way 10th
How many fights have we seen from Texas where the more skilled guy has pot shotted going backwards and won the fight but the judges have given the fight to the aggressive come forward fighter. Somehow I think they're going to judge the fight differently tonight.
Great RBR Spicoli.
On Bambi legs there though.
Charlo needs to roll them in! That long right is clean on Castano now and he's still hurt. Just a tough fight for both hurt multiple times. If any thing influences in ol TX it's relentless pressure and taking a punch . Castano a tough fookin nail to hammer. Big brass Final round up
Real quality fight, back and forth. Put on a great show those two
114-113 Castano...117-111 Charlo...114-114 even...split Draw!
no history tonight. And honestly cannot argue with it. Castano put himself on the map. Charlo did look stuck in spots but came on strong late. Keeping it real interview if anything

bullshit
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
9 3 charlo one judge.... get the fuck all the way out of here with that
It was close, but what is going on with 117-111? I had it for Castano winning in a very close decision.
A draw isn't too bad. When I heard split decision I thought definitely Charlo gets it. Steve Weisfeld was trying to get Charlo level on his card and gave him the tenth round ten eight and still couldn't do it.
American fighters owe so much to the US economy. You've got to wonder how well Charlo would have done in some minging bear pit sports hall in Buenos Aires.
Had it 84 or 75 castano guess you could convince me of a draw with a few drinks in me but 93 is beyond bullshit
Great RBR. Watching it now.
All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
Charlo should have won the fight he had all the physical advantages. He fought a timid fight overall and was not busy enough to have got the decision.
Charlo hurt Castano in the 2nd round with a left hook that wobbled him but Castano came back to win the subsequent rounds even hurting Charlo with 2 big left hooks in the 3rd round. By round 9 Castano was winning the fight by being the busier and aggressive fighter.
Charlo turned the fight in the 10th with huge left hooks that battered Castano and could have been a 10-8 round because he was that dominate. Charlo won the last 2 rounds to make it a draw for me 6-6.
The judge that gave it 9-3 needs to leave boxing.
Good contest and there should be a rematch.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Terence Crawford mocks Jermell Charlo after controversial draw with Brian Castano
Terence Crawford could not resist a cheeky dig at Jermell Charlo following his controversial draw with Brian Castano in San Antonio on Saturday.
It looked almost certain that Argentinian 'El Boxi' Castano (17-0-2, 12 KOs) was on course to deliver a stunning upset and capture the WBC, WBA and IBC super-welterweight titles in style as well as maintain his unbeaten record.
However, the fight was controversially awarded a split-decision draw, with judge Nelson Vazquez bizarrely scoring it 117-111 in favour of American 'Iron Man' Charlo (34-1-1, 18 KOs).
The result was met by a loud chorus of boos from boxing fans in the AT&T Center.
"A draw isn't what I wanted to hear," Charlo said in his post-fight interview.
"I won this fight. I hurt him a lot more. My power is serious. I had him in trouble in the second and 10th rounds.
"This is my first time experiencing something like this. This comes with boxing - wins, losses and draws."
Unsurprisingly, Castano disagreed with Charlo's assessment, as he felt he had done enough to deserve the victory.
"I won the fight, there were some rounds that he hit me hard, but I won the fight," he said.
The result means that Charlo has lost his three-fight winning streak - and Crawford made reference to the latest judging controversy with a tongue-in-cheek tweet.
He wrote on Twitter: “I been gone for a min but @TwinCharlo last night is the reason you not on the p4p list sir. Gotta do better."
But Twitter user @East_Texan86 questioned Crawford's criticism, saying he should keep his mouth shut because he hasn't fought anyone of any note.
He tweeted: "Charlo fights Castano for undisputed you fought weak ass Indongo....see the difference?"
The American superstar hit back, saying: "Yeah I do one had 3 belts and beat two champions back to back in they hometown to get this belts one just had one you right I do see the difference."
In another tweet, he wrote: "He good but before the fight you see how nobody gave him a chance now they calling him the best in the division."
He added: "If that’s all I’m fighting I’m show making it look easy."
Speaking to Complex on Friday, Charlo lashed out at the media complaining about favouritism towards certain athletes while citing Gervonta Davis' recent victory over Mario Barrios.
He said: “You have some guys on the pound-for-pound list, high up, that haven’t fought in two years. That’s why I can’t even care about the pound-for-pound list. My mind is set on my goals and trying to get this victory this weekend and let my hands fly.”
“I’m like not really interested in the pound-for-pound list because I don’t even know who operates or makes this list. It’s just weird to talk about something that’s not even a real thing.
“Bro, Gervonta Davis just fought and they didn’t put him on the pound-for-pound list. He just won and beat somebody in a different weight class and they didn’t give him nothing. Man, I don’t care about that list.”
