Alvarez said, “Brian Castano, I’ll tell you one thing. For me, you won. They [the judges] saw a draw but for me you won, you bastard. What a great fight. I congratulate you very much.”

“Thank you very much, brother.” reverted Castano. (h/t Boxing Scene)

Right from the first second of this high-class bout, Castano was the sheer oppressor. He displayed some thunderous power in the initial rounds itself and tried everything in his hand to press ‘Iron Man’. The latter responded well and had his fair and share of moments inside the ring.
