"I having covered that fight ringside from what i remember. I thought costano deserve to beat hours. Landy lara back at barclays center a couple of years ago. That's the most identifiable name on his resume. A beat to share a very easily. Don't think a ton of shero more titleholder than a legitimate champion but what he did. Interestingly to win the wb title. And the the guy that i think may be american. Boxing fans are as familiar with. That's on his resume. That's very good. Is michael showroom and he went to france and he beat michael store in france by split decision. Which probably means that you know letting deserve a wide unanimous decision. I didn't get paid and fight. He was supposed to fight soro again and it turned into this whole crazy thing was declared his mandatory again. He refused to go to france because he was paid in installments. That's the thing you paid. Installments inbox took almost a year for him to get paid for that. I fight so he didn't wanna fly again and wound up getting strip at wbz title. My point is brian. costano has more than earned his place in this fight. He's dealt with a lot of the political bullshit boxing to get to this point so good for him in his family for forgetting this payday. Is he good enough to beat journal. Charl verna find out in a couple of days. My instinct is probably not but it's a very very interesting fight. And i'm looking forward to seeing it on saturday night. Yeah underestimate your charlotte's power at your own risk. He's one of those rare fighters that his power seems to be growing as competition has increased. I mean whatever you think of like. You said eric's lubin at that time. One punch knockout first round. Jason rosario eighth round. Knockout tony harrison eleventh round knockout. These guys are high. Level junior middleweight. That were in that position for reason. Jason rosario legitimately knocked out julian williams to win those two titles and jamaal charles legitimately knocked out jason rosario to take them off them so his power is legit and i agree with you. I don't think you can have the same type of strategy that you had against patrick to share it to share as a solid puncher but he's not a puncture on the level of journal. Charlwood if you come into haphazardly. You're gonna call but some of the big and not going to get up from it if you're standing on the flip side if you discover a strategy that works pressure can work. I mean it's not apples to apples your keith. But williams pay just beat the daylights out of hector tunnel hara just a week or so ago all pressure. All the time pressure works. If you are in shape enough to apply it and the way guys zepeda and castagna and others have done it in their respective careers but let me ask you one thing about charl. I've got him inside my top ten pound for pound at the very end of it and largely because how i base pound for power. Rankings is mostly based on accomplishment. I do believe accomplishment matters not how a guy looks against inferior fighter fighters and rosario was a champion harrison was a champion because he took the belt but it was a high level junior middleweight. Lubin i think the win looks better and better. Career goes along because lou is putting himself back in position to get a rematch. A win over costano to become undisputed one fifty four where would you put journal charro in your rankings or do you need to see how he wins in order to place him of fryer pound for pound list on boxing scene dot com in which we all vote. We have them listed as number seven. I think he belongs in the top..

"If you're going to continue fighting until you're forty one. Forty two forty three years old so i don't know what he's doing exactly. He's he's not certainly not helping. He's not enhancing legacy bite approaching it this way but again just might not care. You just might not care because this is ultimately it's about money it's about securing the financial future of your family. And maybe he's looking for the least amount of risk for the most amount of money and if that's a problem for people than either don't watch or criticize me or whatever and he just might not care about doesn't seem like he does and that tweety put out is kind of evidence of that research he's gonna fight for me and for my fans which implies he's not fighting for the critics that are out there saying get back in the ring fight one of these top guys so sal plays out but that's again i think this is a very real possibility. We only economic galactic once in a twenty twenty one. Which would be pretty disappointing. Was talking about where you are down in texas dramatic shirlow branka. Stagno just like you. I love this might. I think it's gonna be all action. Larger pos costanzo doesn't really know anything else. I mean i called this fight against patrick. Vieira to share is not charles but he took the fight to to share it from start to finish and beat him badly. Beat him up physically. Beat him up on the scorecards because donyo is a good fighter thought he got a raw deal in the era slanty. Laura fight a couple of years ago. Dramatic charl. I don't want to say he's been dismissive of catania. I've seen this before. I've seen this before and i talked to him earlier in the week. And he's coming up later in the show and asked him like where. Have you seen this before. Because i look at it up and down as resume and i don't see a custodial like fighter that's on it maybe it would have been erickson lubin but that fight only lasted one round. So i don't. I don't know i don't know where he has. Seen the kind of pressure that brian costano brings which is not unique pressure. You only see it in in a finite number of fighter..

"That far moving joseph di as being pissed off at them. I mean that was like six months ago. When joe dias is on social media getting irks some of the things that were going on at golden boy yeah i just think oscars got the potential is still there. I just think forget the boxing. Get your your house in order proverbial house in order and then get focused on boxing promoting. Let's finish keith with the showtime schedule which was announced. Last week i did dump all over. Jamaal charles oh vs montreal. I still hate that fight. But i think there's some good fights on this showtime slate and for me. The most excited. I get and i'm sure you would agree. Is the journal. Brian costano fight which happening midsummer a four belt. Unification fight at junior middleweight. Castagna is probably not somebody. Everybody's heard of. He took the belt off. Patrick to share a terrific performance a few months ago but he is a pressure fighter like he is coming to fight like this is not going to be. This won't be a fight for the faint of heart like this is going to be a war. I think for as long as it lasts and all credit to jamaal charles. Who since he's won those titles. He had the hiccups with the controversial loss to tony harrison. He went back out avenged that loss. A couple of fights turned around and fought jason rosario in a unification fight and now he's stepping in and fighting for another major world title. I mean i had a conversation last week with tony harrison. And we know tony harrison badly wants that third fight with your mouth charro but even tony was saying to me. He's like. I don't really begrudge like jamaal is not. I don't think he's avoiding me. But he's not. He wouldn't be avoiding meat to fight lesser fighters. He's fighting the best guys out there at one fifty four right now so that to me keith. Is the the cream of the crop in that showtime schedule. Yeah absolutely two full unification fight. It's the first full unification fight in the history of the hundred and fifty four pound division. It's on showtime. It's not on pay per view. Like the rosario fight was part of a pay per view combo with jamaal. Charles sergei driving chango fight. It's on the network. it's the best fight of the. i think. The research team fights altogether. Maybe they announced seven world title fights. But that's the best one..

"He's an underrated guy. He's had some injury problems toward the end of his career but he gave jamaal charles a very difficult fight. I don't think that he won. I thought i thought charles one scorecard there. What was it junior. Let's yeah. Let's with only mostly goes what eighteen nine. Yeah it was one. Nineteen yet more on something. It was brutal nonsense. But charles you know he takes a step up in class against driving chanko. Who had not fought since he thought love can. He's coming off a great performance gluskin and jamaal charles handled ian chango far easier than either connecticut. Love can or daniel jacobs. Daniel jacobs beat by split decision in adiga. Love can wanna unanimous unanimous decision very narrowly a fight that people some people thought beloved can loss worst case scenario is an extremely competitive fight. That could have gone either way charlie. beats them with ease. I mean he just completely outclassed or having chaco much bigger of course in in height and stature and everything but you know he. He beat him soundly. The best in my opinion is clearly. The best middleweight win of his career. You could probably quibble that you know the way. He beat julian williams in their title fight. Maybe that's the best winners career. But i think you could argue that we i think the williams probably probably better but only maybe only revie and chanko chang-chol had lost twice before that. Yeah i i could see that but the point is he had taken a step up in competition at middleweight. Looked like he was ready to fight the types of guys that he has long said that he is willing and and able to fight. And then you take a such a significant step backward here by fighting one montiel. I i mean. I don't even know what to say. It's bad and the meanwhile his brother is cleaning out. The junior middleweight division as part of the announcement he. He's fighting brian. Costano in the winter obviously will be a unit fully unified one hundred and fifty four pound champion and so while journal is doing those types of things he's kind of regressing here and at some point he's going to have if he really wants these fights he's going to have to say to al hayman care what it takes to make these fights happen although he's paid very well And i do believe that eddie..

"Had smelling salts before. That's what you do that reaction i've never had adrenaline so i can't compare it. That looked to me like a reaction to smelling salts. But i guess the official ruined from the ibm is that says nobody could really prove it. One way or the other they allowed rakhimov to retain his place as the mandatory. And that's why we are here right. Now let's talk about the co main event here which i think has the potential to steal the show patrick to shera defending his. Wbo junior middleweight. Title against brian. Costano costano a very good fighter only one blemish on his resume. That was a draw. Against aris landy. Laura fight that many people myself included thought. He won a very good fighter on the other side. You've got to share a who a lot of people probably know as the guy curtis stevens knocked out in the second round of their fight on. Hbo but he's also the guy that engaged in and won a bloody war with carlos adamas in his last fight to win this title. So gimme your your your evaluation of this matchup. What do you think of it. Yeah it's it's a sneaky firefight. It's a firefighter is a straight up. And here's the thing The besides the favorite in the books and the oddsmaker castagna's the favourite to win the fight. But the the champion the promoters the promoters fighter to shira is actually the undercard that says a lot of how good cassano is and i've been watching tapan casino. He's very athletic with his feet very strong heavy handed as well but he knows how to fight small. Just he's he's got. He's the same height as curtis. Stevens knocked out to share a five five foot seven. He fights a lot nifty on his feet a lot. a lot. More athletic than stephen stevens just stands in front of you and hands up. And he checks you with our fast powerful left hook but you can easily out boxing. I'll punch a courtesy stevens. You're going to be able to boxing punch. Costano he's sneaky. He's athletic he gets angles. He knows how to fight small. He knows that a looping shots in a in a fast athletic manner and then defend and he has fast feed as fetig feet so even if he falls off balance or mrs. shot because he's going to be the the smaller fighter he's athletic enough to get back in position and get another angle and start the attack from there to shiro's not that athletic. I'm telling you he's he's tall. He's lanky strong especially recently his fortitude. How how how aggressive he can get and be more exciting. But he's kinda clumsy with his athleticism or or speed and when he misses punches he doesn't look as as on balance and that's normally how it is taller fighters kind of like giraffes. I've ever a giraffe trying to drink water. It's a dark years thing you'll ever see so you know there's there's advantages to being that all and there's this advantages if you knew how to fight small like a lot of great. Small fighters are adapted and evolved. And it's hard to fight short fighters. I hated fide fighting short fighters. I i much rather fight a guy that was five inches taller than me. Which i did then a guy that was five foot five inches shorter than meals. Just so it's just the ugly feeling for me so for to share..
