Duran Vs Castillo at 135

What transpires?

Duran knocks him the fuck out, make no mistake.

 

Duran, Duran, Duran, Duran

I like your style. You remind me of someone I admire.

 

Actually Duran would win a fairly clear decision methinks....when I consider the styles and abilities. Duran doesn't stop him though.

 

Over 15 there's a distinct chance that Duran stops him. Over 12, castillo sees the bell.

 

Yup Castillo will suddenly become vulnerable the moment he sees the ring girl holding up "round 13". Modern fighters could have never lasted 15 rounds.

 

Duran wouldnt need 15 rounds.

Castillo gets stopped within 9.

 

I've consistently said the opposite.

It's because Duran would be wearing him down since Castillo would be right there for him & because Duran had 6 stoppage wins as lightweight champ between rounds 12-15.

 

Duran TKO 11

He might be the smaller guy but he's faster, more skilled, and much smarter.

Castillo would be competitive early but thats about it.

 

Duran was NOT a smaller guy than Castillo. Quite the opposite. Unless you mean the 21 yr old kid that beat Buchanan. He was just a skinny runt then. As he reached his mid-to-late 20's, he grew into a HUGE lightweight.

Give Duran a 24 hr weigh in, and he'd gain JUST as much weight as Castillo.

Wouldnt matter though. Weight aside, Duran was freakishly physically STRONG. Much more so than Castillo. He'd bully Castillo around the ring, regardless of any edge in fight-night weight Castillo might have.

 

Great fight, Duran stops him late.

 

I agree, although he was undersized at 147, he was a BIG lightweight towards the end of his reign.

Only 5'7 but beefy, and strong as fuck. He would push Castillo around the ring with surprising ease.

It was the DeJesus's and the Viruets of the world that troubled Duran, any aggressive fighter is fucked against Duran unless they're twice his size.

Prime Castillo, such as the one that beat Floyd, was a very good fighter. I think he'd give a good account of himself but get stopped for sure.

 

Henry Armstrong?

 

Your consistency is stunning. Duran would do to Armstrong what he once did to a horse.

 

Ignorance isnt just bliss.

Its also hilarious.

 

This Olde Time shit is almost worse than jaws' "all fighters before 1980 suck" mentality.

 

If you think Armstrong is fodder for Duran, you know as much about Boxing as my sisters.

 

Which is nearly as bad as the "all fighters before 2000 suck" mentality.

 

Again..you contribute nothing of substance here. Get lost and attend to your boyfriend.

 

Fightbeat should fund a reality TV pilot where Sly & BWJ are handcuffed together on a desert island and have to solve 5 crystal maze style puzzles to win their passage home.

 

He's gay. He'd enjoy it. It's well known that he lives with some guy called frank.

 

Would they be naked too? Bumcheeks touching n' all?

 

Loinclothes. And cute animal hide booties. All primal like, uh yee.

Joe & Frank.

 

Poor Stafford, reduced to middle school insults to hide his lack of anything resembling substance in his ad copy...no, wait...posts.

 

This is actually true though. You are gay....are you not?

 

Ummm...no. But it's not like that will stop you from saying it as a way of trying to take the attention of your latest no-substance diatribe.

Poor stafford...can't prove his point so he is reduced to schoolyard insults and lies.

 

Queer. Just admit it.
