Thrilling Jermell Charlo-Brian Castano fight ends in unsatisfying draw

Thrilling Jermell Charlo-Brian Castano fight ends in unsatisfying draw

Photo from Showtime 17 Jul by Dan Rafael So much for there being an undisputed junior middleweight champion, because there is most definitely a dispute. Jermell Charlo and Brian Castano did their part, colliding in an effort to unify all four major sanctioning organization belts and waging a highly entertaining battle on Saturday night in a Showtime-televised main event at the AT&T Center in San Antonio. The judges, however, could not agree and the fight was ruled a split draw with both men retaining the belts. Judge Steve Weisfeld scored the fight 114-113 for Castano, who seemed to control much of the fight until running into problems in the final few rounds, and Tim Cheatham had it 114-114. But Nelson Vazquez had the outlier score that will be heavily criticized – 117-111 for Charlo, who retained his Ring/WBC/IBF/WBA title while Castano retained the WBO belt. Charlo won the 10th, 11th and 12th rounds on all three scorecards to secure the draw. They were vying to become the first undisputed champion of the four-belt era in division history and the first undisputed champion at 154 pounds in 17 years – since then-IBF titlist Winky Wright pulled the upset decision against WBC/WBA counterpart Shane Mosley to become the undisputed three-belt champion in 2004. Also at stake was for a winner to emerge as just the sixth male boxer of the four-belt era to be an undisputed world champion. But the draw scrubbed that and left the club as five-man crew of  junior welterweight Josh Taylor, who did it by outpointing Jose Ramirez in May, cruiserweight Oleksandr Usyk (2018), junior welterweight Terrence Crawford (2017) and middleweights Jermain Taylor (2005) and Bernard Hopkins (2004). .@BrianBoxii tags @TwinCharlo on the ropes end of R3 #CharloCastano pic.twitter.com/WDZ517Uk7j — SHOWTIME Boxing (@ShowtimeBoxing) July 18, 2021 When the fight was over Castano and Charlo both were disappointed with the draw and claimed victory. “I won the fight,” said Castano, who made making the first defense of the title he won by one-sided decision from Patrick Teixeira on Feb. 13. “There were some rounds that he did hit me and he hit me hard. But I won the fight definitely and it was a great fight.” Said Charlo, who made the second defense of his second title reign, “The win is what I wanted to hear. If anything, I won this fight. I hurt him way more than he did to me. Brian Castano is a tough warrior. He’s gonna give a lot of people problems, but my power is something serious at this weight division. “He threw a hell of a lot of punches against almost every opponent he ever fought. My skills and my ability and my power — I just knew I could keep him off me and I feel like I won this fight and I deserve to be going home as the undisputed (champion). I am glad to have fought for the undisputed title. It’s different.” The fight began with the two men trying to figure each other out in a get-to-know-you opening round. The action picked up considerably in the second round with Castano landing several shots that forced Charlo back, but Charlo turned the tables when he landed a hard counter left hook that hurt Castano and put him on the back foot. Charlo followed up by landing several more punches that had Castano in some trouble. The action never really let up, leaving referee Hector Afu with very little to do in a fight that featured very few clinches and a lot of clean punching. Charlo (34-1-1, 18 KOs), 31, of Houston, appeared to be in control in the third round until the final seconds when Castano landed a clean left hook on the button that wobbled Charlo. Castano landed a follow-up right uppercut for good measure. Castano (17-0-2, 12 KOs), 31, of Argentina, whose other draw (also of the split variety) came in a secondary 154-pound title bout with Erislandy Lara in March 2019, bullied Charlo in the fourth round and landed a solid left hook to the jaw and hook to the body. There were some fierce exchanges but Charlo trainer Derrick James was none too pleased after the round, telling Charlo, “You’re giving rounds away!” Castano bulled his way forward round in and round out. Charlo fired jabs but didn’t make consistent contact with it. Castano, meanwhile, found a way past the jab and forced Charlo to the ropes over and over and landed shots with both hands. Castano had another good round in the ninth, when he connected with his jab and also with right hands and combinations as Charlo continued to back up under the enormous pressure. Charlo, however, was not deterred and stormed back over the final three rounds of the fight. He had a very big 10th round. He wobbled Castano twice with right hands and had him in trouble. Castano began to circle and move to stay away as he tried to clear his head but Charlo finally caught him and slammed home a left hook that hurt him again with 30 seconds left. Charlo finished the round by landing another powerful right hand. It was such a one-sided round that Weisfeld scored it 10-8 even though there was no knockdown. “I was hurt in the 10th round and I had to recoup a little bit. Same with the beginning of the 11th round, but I did enough to win the fight,” Castano said. Big round 10 for @TwinCharlo #CharloCastano pic.twitter.com/JgNWVa9vCh — SHOWTIME Boxing (@ShowtimeBoxing) July 18, 2021 Charlo closed the 11th round strong with a big burst at the end when he landed combinations and sent Castano into the ropes. But James was still very concerned in the corner, telling Charlo forcefully, “You have to knock him out!” Charlo and Castano both tried for one in the 12th round as they spent most of the round brawling, not wanting to leave anything to chance. They finished the fight in an exchange in the center of the ring as the crowd rose to its feet. “My coach (also) told me I needed the knockout in the ninth round and I just knew he knew what he was talking about,” Charlo said. “I believe in my coach. This is my first time experiencing something like (a draw), so this comes with boxing, baby: Wins, losses and draws.” According to CompuBox, Charlo landed 151 of 533 punches (28 percent) and Castano connected with 173 of 586 (30 percent). The 173 punches landed by Castano were the most ever landed on  Charlo. With the fight being ruled a draw, both men expressed interest in a rematch, although given mandatory obligations it remains to be seen if all four belts would be at stake if a sequel could be finalized. “I’m still holding my titles. I can’t wait to get home to my baby and my family, take some time off from boxing and then we’ll get back to the drawing board and see what’s poppin’,” Charlo said. “I want to be undisputed. That’s my goal. That’s my destiny.” Castano also wants to be undisputed. “I hope I get the rematch,” Castano said. “He is a great fighter. Me too. I need the rematch.” GET THE LATEST ISSUE AT THE RING SHOP (CLICK HERE) or Subscribe

Basically posting this just to show off my headcanon that Crow rides a Big Wheel. Under the cut because it’s ramble-y.

Tom and Crow were waiting at the top of the basement stairs. Their creator had been down in what was affectionately referred to as his lab all afternoon working on a project for ConGypsCo. Some mid-80s college rock blared from his stereo as soldering fumes wafted up to them.

“Hey, Joel!” Crow yelled.

The music suddenly got quieter and Joel yelled back, “What?”

“Can we go outside?” Tom asked.

“Uh, yeah. Just stay in the yard!”

“Sweet!” Crow cheered.

Joel heard Crow scamper outside, rolled his eyes, and went back to his soldering.

Crow drug his big wheel out of the garage and mounted it.  He scooted down the driveway at a painfully slow speed, his long legs making pedal based travel difficult.

Tom, having no legs, was unable to ride any pedal based vehicle and ended up hovering behind him making generic motor noises.

The game went on for a while until Tom finally started whining. “I don’t want to play Warrior of the Lost World anymore.”

“We weren’t playing Warrior of the Lost World,” Crow replied. He swiveled his head around to face his brother quizzically. “Is that why you kept calling yourself Megaweapon and trying to run me over? Huh, sort of makes sense now…”

Tom sounded confused. “What were you playing?”

“I was about to ask you if it was time to accidentally murder somebody because I was jealous that my best friend got a singing contract.”

“Let’s regroup here…”

“Should I be shooting up heroine?” Crow asked.

“We could start a seemingly meaningless bar fight and utterly get our own asses kicked.”

“Only if I can be a down on my luck stock car racer who is secretly working for the county police.”

Suddenly, Tom blurted out, “Car!” and smashed into the back of Crow’s bike making it skid a few inches.

“Servo! We’re not playing Warrior of the Lost World anymore!” he whined. Joel’s station wagon pulled past them into the driveway. “Oh. It’s just Mike.”

“Hi guys, whatcha up to?” Mike asked once he had gotten out and grabbed a bag of groceries from the back seat.

“Playing generic biker movie,” Tom replied like it was obvious.

Mike only smiled and nodded. “Ah. Well, I’m going to get dinner started. Stay off the road.“

“We will,” Tom and Crow both replied. They sounded bored.

They waited until their other dad was inside before resuming their game.

“Ah ha! Come get me, copper!” Crow cackled and started to pedal away… slowly. He got about three feet before his front wheel rolled off the pavement into the yard and he got stuck. Grunting from the effort, he rocked back and forth trying to free himself. It wasn’t very successful. “Aw, damn… Hey, Servo! A little help?”

Tom was in the middle of hovering circles around him and singing “Bad to the Bone”. Suddenly, he stopped mid-verse and froze, his gaze fixed on their next-door neighbor who had apparently been giving them the stink-eye for the past 5 minutes. “Uh, Crow?”

“What?” Crow spat, irritated.

“Remember that neighbor Joel and Mike told us to ignore?”

“Yeah. What about her?”

“I think she’s coming over here.”

Crow turned so he was looking in the same direction as Tom. Sure enough, their tiny, tight-faced neighbor looked even more tight-faced as she strode toward them.

The first time they had met the woman was the day they moved in. She had spent a good forty-five minutes sneaking around the house, trying to peek in their windows. After catching Mike and Joel in a rather chaste “welcome home” kiss, she decided that she needed to spend every chance she could get evangelizing them. The fact that this apparent couple had, what she called, homosexual robotic demon spawn, didn’t help their case either.

Crow and Tom stared at her, their beaks agape, vaguely realizing that it was too late to run. As a last resort, Tom hid behind Crow.

Their neighbor briskly made her way across the driveway, her modest flats making faint clopping sounds as she did so, and stopped in front of the two cowering bots. “Hello,” she greeted, her voice falsely sweet

Crow tentatively looked up at her face. She looked like a cat taunting its food.

“Hi, Mrs. Soderstrom,” they mumbled.

She didn’t waste any time. “Do you know where you’re going to go after you die?”

Crow stared at her, clearly not amused by the question. His ping-pong ball eyes were more blank than usual.

Tom continued to cower behind his brother. “Our dads told us not to talk to you!” he blurted.

Mrs. Soderstrom’s smile became pained for a second, but she quickly changed her question. “Do you know where your… dads are going to go when they die?”

“Joel said he assumes he’s just going to stop existing,” Crow admitted. “He wants a boring funeral if you ask me.”

“Are you aware that your dads are going to go to Hell? Do you know what Hell is?”

Crow and Tom glanced at each other.

“Uh, The Beatles?” Tom guessed.

“Mike always said he thought that all our time spent having to watch bad movies was Hell,” Crow answered. “Well, at the very least, purgatory…”

Mrs. Soderstrom’s smile turned into more of a self-satisfied smirk. “Jesus Christ, the Son of God, described Hell as a place of outer darkness where there will be weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth. A place of regret, torment in fire and no water.”

“That sort of sounds like our first apartment actually,” Crow replied.

Tom started whimpering.

“You will be thrown into a fiery lake of burning sulfur where the smoke of those tormented there goes up forever and they find no rest…”

“So, basically a giant hot tub… of fire?” Crow asked.

“That doesn’t sound very nice at all,” Tom said through some sniffles.

“Do you want to know how to save your dads from Hell?”

Tom nodded.

Crow looked skeptical. “Just so we’re clear, why are Joel and Mike going to Hell exactly?”

Mrs. Soderstrom gave them their first genuine smile. “Well, the Bible condemns homosexuality as an immoral and unnatural sin. Leviticus 18:22 states: Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.”

Crow’s skepticism turned to confusion. “But… our dads never lie to each other.”

“Yeah. They’re both pretty honest fellas,” Tom added, his voice wavering.

“Look!” Mrs. Soderstrom snapped, her patience ending for a second before going back to her fake tone. “Do you know about the creation account in Genesis?”

Tom looked up at her. “You mean the ‘let there be light’ one?”

“The one with the snake who sort of sounds like Gilbert Godfrey?” Crow added.

The woman closed her eyes briefly and sighed through her nose, trying to keep from yelling at them. Her forced smile returned and the sight made Tom slip behind Crow again. “Genesis 1:1 teaches that “in the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.” On the sixth day, God created Adam. When God created a partner for Adam He created Eve—not another Adam.” She bent down so she was about eye level with Crow. “You see boys, God wants your daddies to have mommies. Wouldn’t you rather have a mommy?”

“We don’t need a mom!” Tom protested, but then he unsurely glanced at Crow. “Do we?”

Crow shrugged.

“Don’t you need someone to clean and do the laundry?”

“Well, actually, Joel does that…” Crow said.

“Then, who cooks?”

“Mike,” Tom replied.

Mrs. Soderstrom began to get flustered again. “Who pays the bills? Does the taxes?”

Crow started staring blankly at her again, unsure of where this line of questioning was going. “Servo.” He looked around. “Can we leave, now?”

Tom’s voice lowered into a comedic whisper. “Crow! Crow, let’s go!” He made a few pathetic whining noises and started hovering to the door.

He looked after Tom, not sure of what he was supposed to do. Turning to face the neighbor, there was a beat before he blurted, “Uh… Bye!” Crow awkwardly crawled off his bike, tripping and falling on his face before hurrying off so he could open the door for Tom. His claws slipped on the handle until he managed to push it open. He heard her trying to pray after them as he made it inside.

Mike was in the middle of slicing up vegetables for a stir-fry when Tom flew by him. “Hey Servo, how’d generic biker movie go?”

Tom replied with a whine, and continued down into the basement.

Crow trudged in after him.

“What’s up with Servo?” Mike asked.

Crow sighed and joined him at the counter. “I dunno.” He watched Mike cut peppers as the neighbor lady’s words swam around his head. Did he really need a mom? Suddenly, he had an epiphany. “Mike?”

Mike replied with a hum.

“I don’t want to alarm you with this news, but it appears that I’m a Disney princess.”

He chuckled. “What?”

“Think about it! I don’t have a mom, my dad’s a crazy inventor who fell in love with a beast…”

“Crow, it was the princess who fell in love with the… Hey!”

Crow ignored him. “… I’m beautiful, of course. I have a magical connection to most woodland creatures. I tend to sing a lot. I can paint with all the colors of the wind. I always seem to be missing a shoe. I’m overly trusting. I sometimes struggle to remember the proper names for common household objects…”

Mike snorted. “Well, Crow, it seems like the evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of you being a Disney princess. Congratulations.”

“I’m glad that’s settled.” Crow was silent for a couple of seconds. “Do you think some day my prince will come?”

Mike threw his hands up, exasperated. “I don’t know!”

“Yeah, he’s totally going to come…”

Meanwhile, Tom was confronting Joel down in the basement. He hovered over to his father and set himself down on his workbench.

Joel glanced at him, but continued studying his blueprints. “Hey, Buddy. What’s up?”

Tom looked over the plans for a few seconds. These particular ones were scribbled over a few spare napkins and the back of an old grocery list. He looked up and sighed. “Joel?”

He smiled at him. “What?”

“Joel? Are we going to go to Hell because we don’t have a mom?”

Joel’s face dropped. Straightening up, he cleared his throat and put a comforting hand on Tom’s shoulder. “That’s an oddly specific question, honey.”

“The neighbor lady, the one who lives next door, y’know? Said because you and Mike lie to each other, God made Adam and Eve. And since we don’t have a mommy, God was going to throw you and Mike into a giant hot tub that sounds like our first apartment!” Tom cried. He ended with over dramatic sobbing

Joel’s brow furrowed, not quite following Tom’s rambling. The little robot buried his face into his side and Joel wrapped his arms around him. “Calm down, Tom. What were you saying about our neighbor?”

“She said you and Mike were going to go to Hell. But it sounded scary and not fun at all and I don’t want you to go there,” he explained through sobs.

“Well, it’s sweet that you’re worried about us, but remember what I said about our neighbor?”

Tom sniffed. “That she’s one weird…”

“Mama jama,” Joel finished.  He leaned his forehead on Tom’s dome so he was eyelevel with him. “That’s right and you shouldn’t listen to her. No one’s going to Hell.”

“You sure?”

“Yes. Don’t worry your little head about it. Okay?”

“Okay, Joel,” Tom said before shifting positions and wiggling his head so it looked like he was wiping his nose on Joel’s shirt.

Joel patted him on the back, as Tom moved away from him. “Are you going to be alright?”

“I think so.” He went back to looking at Joel’s blueprints. “What are you making anyway?”

Joel picked up a metal cylinder and examined it. “Well, it’s supposed to be a self-sustaining, self-cleaning, exhaust filter, but it’s not exactly turning out like I’d hoped.” He held it up to his ear and shook it. It made a hissing sound.

Tom glanced at Joel uncertainly. “Is it supposed to do that?”

Joel put it down and slowly got in between the cylinder and Tom. “I don’t think so.” He tensed and turned away from it slightly and grimaced, waiting for something to happen.

The cylinder finally made a muffled pop and emitted a puff of smoke. There was an electrical surge before it finally started to vibrate and give off a subtle green glow.

“What the Sam Scratch did you put in that thing?” Tom demanded.

Joel stared at it dumbly. “Baking soda. A lot of baking soda.”

“Wow! You pulled a Mike. Good one, Joel!”

“You get the salad tongs. I’ll get the old refrigerator open…”

“Honey? You okay?” Mike called from the kitchen.

“Yeah, the lights did the thing!” Crow added, scurrying to the top of the basement stairs. He was met by Tom coming up the other way.

“Joel made a nuclear reactor out of baking soda,” Tom informed him. Begrudgingly, he hovered to get a pair of tongs from Mike.

“Cool! Can I see?”

“Stay upstairs, honey. You’ve absorbed more than enough radiation for one lifetime.”

We know that we are ambassadors for the city and we don’t take it for granted,” mentioned Jewell. “Our factory tour is the real deal – this isn’t a fake factory. We are the only place in the world where these baseball bats are made and you’re walking right through the heart of our production line. We just renovated our factory tour, so it’s a whole new experience. And our next stop is renovating our galleries and our store. Even if you’ve been to our place before, it’s a new experience if you come back. You don’t have to be a big baseball fan to enjoy it.”

Bourbon and Beyond entered its third 12 months in 2019 and Louisville Slugger has partnered with the music pageant since its inception, creating distinctive mementos and experiences for followers and artists alike. 

“We give each act in the lineup a black and silver Louisville Slugger bat that’s customized with the Bourbon and Beyond logo in silver. Then it’s personalized with their names. For some of the real iconic performers – the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers and so on – we also create customized bats.

We can’t wait to get our hands on that after he’s signed it and put it out for folks to see,” Jewell mentioned. “Even folks who aren’t that big of baseball fans but are music fans, we get a chance to tell them a little bit of the story of baseball too.”

“On stage, I did a Louisiana barbecue shrimp which means just shrimp in a pan with compound butter and spices and stuff. Then I flamed it with the bourbon and it came out really well. Anything you use white wine in, almost, you can use bourbon in,” Hamlin advised Forbes backstage Sunday afternoon. “Lately I’ve been taking different barrel ash and using it for curing fish or turning it around and doing brines with it. You can incorporate that ash into a brine and it really, really helps to bring out the flavor. But, when it comes to infusing anything from sauce to ice cream, you can definitely use bourbon.”

You can sit down at a bar next to somebody and strike up a conversation about your bourbon. It’s just a fun social idea to hang out and have a whiskey and to be surrounded by so many different craftsmen too,” he continued, noting the pageant environment.
