Brian Castaño It is one of the great performances of Argentine boxing in recent decades. However, it’s not bad to say that, at least so far, it hasn’t lived up to some expectations. And that’s mainly due to the fact that his progression has been slower and rougher than desirable.
Brown he put on the gloves for the first time, days after his 11th birthday. Since then, many coaches have recognized privileged skills in their movements.
Fast, strong, smart and well attached in defense, The Boxi he was born with the complete combo and improved it through hard work. And it brought him success, to the point where, as an amateur, he had a record 181 wins, five losses and five draws.
In this plane he beat opponents like Errol Spence Jr, The Sergiy Derevyanchenko, with technique and tactics typical of the first line of this sport.
All these details in perfect proportion, with a subtle and minimal media touch, led various Argentine media outlets to position the Buenos Aires man in a place on his way to stardom.
To this day, that path has been quite stretched, despite the great shows and excellent professional record of Brian Carlos Castaño, consisting of 16 wins, 12 by knockout and a single draw against Erislandy Lara, on March 2, 2019.
Brian Castaño’s rivals as a professional
Often times, when a boxer is stretching his unbeaten run and making a decent number in his stats, his opponents are in the group that receives the vulgar qualification of “packs.”
It is not the case with building Brian Castaño, which has only one goal with a negative record: Alejandro Antonio Dominguez, which had an impoverished 1-2 among its numbers and the first step was in the rise of Brown
Although he did not beat big stars, he was always measured with worthy boxers and in acceptable conditions for the duels raised.
The first coronation
In November 2016 Brian Castaño was by the. crowned interim super welterweight world champion WITH by knockout Emmanuel de JesusHe then managed to defend that belt by beating the French by split decision Michel Soro
Subsequently, Demetrius Andrade has left the regular version of the World Super Welterweight Championship to go up to 160 pounds, and Brian Castaño he was elevated to regular champion by the WBA.
And from the WITH was ordered to expose his title against the always complicated Cuban, Erislandy Lara
The Barclays Center hosted the battle between these two titans, who did not hesitate to punish each other harshly. The gunshots were not long in coming from close range. The challenge of going pack by stick was accepted by both sides.
Ultimately, and by split decision, the official result was a draw Brown kept his scepter WITH, But not for long.
Already Boxi he had to bare his belt in a rematch against the French Michael Soro in an obligatory fight. The French promoter Univent, who drove Serum, won the auction to organize the fight and wanted to bring the fight to France. The Argentinian accepted, but asked Univent, a guaranteed sum of money for the fight, and the hiring of a doping test.
The French promoter did not agree, so the Isidro Casanova-born son declined the offer and announced that he was leaving his championship vacant.
So at the table and without an epic, the most promising Argentinean fighter since retirement Maidana Y Awesome, lost his first world title. An anti-climactic story that always moves to the strange cadence of Brown
The French promoter Univent refused to pay @BrianBoxii wallet in advance into an escrow account and to provide us with a copy of the hiring confirmation @Vada_Testing for anti-doping. After what happened in 2017 (multiple breaches), Castaño will not stand against Soro in these circumstances.
