Both the fighters came out with the best game plan of their boxing careers and looked to smother each other with their absolute classic boxing prowess.

If anything, I won this fight. I hurt him way more than he did. And Brian Castano is a top warrior. He gave a lot of people problems but, like I said, my power’s some serious at this weight division.”

He had his fair share of moments inside the ring and round 10 saw Charlo going all out against his rival.
