Castaño not intimidated by Charlo
This Saturday Castaño and Charlo will face off for all the Super Welterweight crowns.
The first face to face between Brian Castaño and Jermell Charlo left a pleasant taste thinking about the war that is coming this Saturday in San Antonio for all the Super Welterweight crowns, and although the Argentinean is not a favorite, he assured that he has always been, and has always come out bathed in glory.
Castaño’s total confidence. ‘Boxi’ said that he never arrives as a favorite and in the end ends up taking the glory, which he is confident will happen on Texan soil. “This is the most important thing for me, my team, my family, my country, it is a great opportunity to continue adding positive things for Argentine boxing, this is a great possibility, against a great opponent, in the USA, for the four belts, this is the opportunity and we are going to take advantage, I am at my best, I enjoy this,” he said to start.
“He has to do a good role at home and with his people, and give his show to the public, but I come to do my job, he will do his, beyond that I come to do my thing, I have been training very hard, for more than half a year, for 8-9 months I was waiting for this opportunity and for me there is no pressure, I was always on point and I ended up being bench, this will not be different”, sentenced the Argentinean.
American Jermell Charlo valued to the highest the opportunity he will have this Saturday to become the undisputed Super Welterweight champion, when he faces the dangerous Argentine Brian Castaño in the evening that ESPN KNOCKOUT will broadcast for all Latin America and SHOWTIME on U.S. soil from the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas.
This Thursday they met for the first time face to face, a few hours before stepping on the scales this Friday, and without disrespect, something unnecessary for a fight of this caliber, they were confident and with the promise of war for a historic date, as both shook off the pressure and promised to arrive in the best shape possible.
“It’s a dream come true, I always dreamed of being undisputed champion since I was a kid, it’s always the ultimate achievement in boxing, and today I have the opportunity, the time has come,” said Charlo at the press conference prior to this world championship event that would undoubtedly allow him to enter the top 10 pound-for-pound list.
“I can’t predict the future,” Charlo (34-0-1, 18 Ko’s) added regarding the knockout possibility. “I feel stronger, faster, I feel smarter than ever, I have power in both hands, in every punch, I’m excited to see what I can do. I’m grateful for this opportunity and to face another champion, it’s not just any other opponent,” he said.
