    Hard to say. Castillo was a lot bigger and more aggressive than Loma, with a lot more firepower. Unlike Loma's diva ass, Castillo wouldn't get spooked.

    Is it possible that Fimo is too fast and powerful for Castillo? Yeah.

    Is it possible that Castillo's pressure would be too much for Fimo? Also yes.

    I think we need to see Fimo's toughness and resilience tested (and proven) more before we can assess how he'd handle Castillo's pressure.

    I agree. I think Teo possibly has a style advantage and will likely end up the better fighter, but he hasn't been tested physically in the way that Castillo would test him. I think he'd likely end up seen as the better fighter, though.

    I'm really on board the Teo train.

    Castillo's size advantage would be nullified by Teo

    Hard to tell since teo is in the beginning of his career. But i think JLC drowns him in the latter rounds
