Charlo vs Castano Betting Analysis
Jermell Charlo Betting Analysis
Jack Catterall has been deemed one of the best fighters in the light-middleweight weight class as he is a unified light middleweight world champion.
He has shown the ability to knock fighters out as he has 18 of his 34 wins via knockout, including his last three fights before this first matchup against Brian Carlos Castano, where they had a split draw decision.
In their last fight, Charlo was hitting the heavier shots. He seems to be a great fighter who was the favorite in this matchup.
Brian Carlos Castano Betting Analysis
This is his first fight since the split draw decision, but he has been doing extremely well in his career as he is 17-0-2 so far.
He quickly ascended to the title picture as he became a World Champion after 13 fights. He had 12 of his fights end in a knockout, so it is a little bit more questionable once this fight goes towards the later rounds. Castano did a lot of the work in the previous fight, so be ready to see that once again here and win some rounds.
Updates
The biggest thing to look at is this fight was postponed as Brian Castano suffered a minor right biceps tear while sparring. This postponed the fight as he needed about an additional four weeks to heal the injury, limiting the power in his striking ability.
Charlo vs Castano Betting Prediction
This fight is expected to be a very close matchup in terms of the boxing odds as Charlo is sitting at -139 as the favorite while Castano is sitting as an underdog at +100.
The injury aspect should be the difference-maker in this fight as these are the top two fighters in the weight class fighting to unify the top four championships.
How to Bet on Charlo vs Castano
This should be a very similar boxing fight as it was in their first fight back in July. Brian Carlos Castano is considered the number one junior middleweight according to ESPN, while Jermell Charlo is second on that same list.
However, this right biceps tear will be a factor as Castano did not possess the ability to knock out Charlo in their previous fight.
Jermell Charlo should control this fight and be able to walk out as champion, as the betting odds have indicated. Castano has had two draws in his previous four fights, so it seems like he is hitting a bit of a wall as of late while Charlo is dominating and has a second chance to claim the championships to unify his title.
