00:00 [speaking Spanish]
00:03 Set for 10 rounds in the Super Bantamweight division,
00:19 10, 2, and 1, Nazario Castro
00:22 against 15 and 6, Juan Ramirez Marquez.
00:27 [speaking Spanish]
00:29 [chatter]
00:32 [bell ringing]
00:34 Oh, here we go.
00:37 Black trunks for Marquez and the white, black, and gold trunks
00:42 for Castro.
00:43 And right away, you see Castro.
00:48 He's taller.
00:49 He's fighting with that left hand low,
00:51 looking to fight from the outside.
00:53 Got Marquez, the shorter guy, looking to put the pressure on.
00:56 Nice body shot there.
00:57 Yeah, that's it.
00:59 You know, you get a guy who's going to keep his hands all
01:00 like this, you know, usually you assume, OK,
01:01 he's going to be slick.
01:03 So you know what, starting out to the body is a smarter game
01:05 plan there for Marquez.
01:07 And Marquez, if you let him stick around in a fight,
01:11 he can be pesky.
01:12 So he's the type of fighter that, on paper,
01:16 Castro wants not to let build up his confidence and gain
01:20 momentum.
01:22 So let's see how Castro starts this fight.
01:23 Yeah, there are some guys like that, you know,
01:25 some guys where, you know, if you take control right
01:26 from the start, you can kind of control them
01:28 throughout the whole thing.
01:29 But you give them a reason to start believing,
01:30 and you know what, they're going to become a handful.
01:32 And Marquez is that kind of guy.
01:34 As a matter of fact, Marquez is looking for a reason
01:35 to believe right now.
01:36 He's chasing down Castro, trying to pin him against the ropes,
01:38 and trying to get to work.
01:40 It's up to Castro right now to make
01:41 him pay for this aggression.
01:42 But right now, Marquez is doing pretty good.
01:44 Yeah, Marquez has the right idea.
01:45 It's like you said, Paulie, but you
01:46 got a guy who's fighting with his hand down like that,
01:48 fighting from the outside.
01:49 He's probably a little bit slick.
01:50 Marquez just kind of putting on pressure, throwing big shots.
01:52 Nice jab there, backs him up.
01:54 Putting that pressure, not letting him use those legs,
01:56 pitting him on the ropes several times already
01:58 early in the first round.
01:59 Yeah, and one thing about Castro,
02:01 you know, he looks like he's the guy who
02:03 kind of has that cocky swagger about him,
02:04 lower hand and whatnot.
02:06 But usually when you have that, you
02:06 got to make sure you're first.
02:08 I mean, part of having that swagger is being
02:10 in control by being first.
02:11 Look how not often Castro is being first right now.
02:15 Right now, it's Marquez who's dictating the pace of the fight.
02:18 Yeah, he's allowing the shorter man
02:19 to walk right in the front door.
02:20 And that's a dangerous thing to do
02:22 when you got a guy coming forward and winging hooks.
02:24 Castro fighting at the lowest weight of his career,
02:28 official weigh-in 120.8, fought at 122 and 1/4 in 2019.
02:35 So he's coming off a small fracture in his left hand.
02:40 That was suffered November 5 of last year
02:43 in an eight-round draw.
02:45 And he's taking on a fighter who was trained at altitude
02:49 in Marquez from Mexico City.
02:51 So there are a lot of reasons for Castro
02:54 to get into his group early.
02:55 Yeah, and you can see, actually, the altitude
02:57 training of Marquez.
02:58 He's been busy throughout the round.
02:59 He's not worried about his wind or anything like that.
03:02 And honestly, Castro is in a nonchalant attitude so far.
03:05 You know, he's up against the ropes.
03:06 He's been taking a couple of clean right hands.
03:08 So that left hand down, he has no business
03:10 holding that left hand.
03:11 That gives him another couple of right hands.
03:12 He's got no business holding that left hand down.
03:13 He doesn't know how to slip a right hand.
03:14 Especially with his back off the ropes.
03:16 Like a square.
03:16 With the left hand down square.
03:18 I mean, he's been hit with several right hands
03:20 right on the chin.
03:22 Castro's been pretty precise with that right hand.
03:24 In terms of his placement.
03:25 Another right hand.
03:26 And again, a good combination, guys.
03:28 Round one about to come to conclusion.
03:32 And Marquez with a good start.
03:33 [bell ringing]
03:36 [chatter]
03:39 So we talk about the pressure that Marquez was bringing.
03:50 See the right hand up against the ropes.
03:51 And look where Castro's hands are.
03:52 Down and he's squared.
03:53 You better have some really good reflexes
03:56 if you're going to have that bad of fundamentals there.
03:58 You see Castro tries to answer a little bit with an uppercut.
04:00 But he didn't-- not only did he not land,
04:01 Marquez got off about four or five punches there as well.
04:03 And he got hit with three of them.
04:05 That was a big right hand that he traded.
04:07 And then he stayed there and gets hit again.
04:09 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:11 Can't understand it, Jim.
04:12 Can't understand it.
04:13 You don't have to.
04:14 We just got to call it.
04:16 We don't got to know why.
04:18 We're just going to tell you what's happening.
04:19 Well, hopefully he gets some good instructions
04:21 in the corner for him.
04:22 Hopefully by his saying anyway.
04:23 And maybe keep your hands up.
04:25 Yeah, and be first.
04:26 Yeah, and be first.
04:30 The corner of Nazario Castro, 24 years old.
04:35 Five of his 10 career wins have been by TKO or KO.
04:42 Round number two.
04:46 White, black, and gold trunks for Castro.
04:49 The black trunks for Marquez.
04:50 And again, Marquez pushes his opponent into the corner.
04:54 Now we see Castro go southpaw for a moment.
04:57 Yeah, he figures this ain't working.
04:58 Let me try something different.
05:00 Maybe at the very least it'll keep him
05:01 from being so square at least.
05:04 I mean, you've got to, Chris, you've
05:06 got to have some really slick and really dialed
05:11 in defensive skills if you're going to be
05:14 bladed with one hand down.
05:15 Well, I think it's a good thing.
05:16 I think it's a good thing.

06:43 I think it's a good thing.
06:44 I think it's a good thing.
06:45 I think it's a good thing.
06:46 >> I like that, champ.
06:47 I actually like that as well.
06:48 A lot of times if I find slick
06:49 guys like that, I actually used
06:50 to start the combination right
06:51 at the chest and try to bring it
06:52 up.
06:53 What ends up happening a lot of
06:54 times, you start that
06:55 combination to the chest, they
06:56 freeze up.
06:57 You're able to keep them
06:58 stationary and then you can bring
06:59 the combination off to the head.
07:00 >> Oh.
07:01 >> Nice counter left hand there
07:02 by Castro.
07:03 He landed a couple of good solid
07:04 individual shots now.
07:05 Let's see if they start to, you
07:07 know, disperse the confidence of
07:09 Marquez so to speak.
07:11 >> So far, Marquez is still
07:12 bringing it.
07:13 >> And the best landings, guys,
07:14 have been from the southpaw
07:15 stance in the last 30 to 45
07:17 seconds for Nazario Castro.
07:19 >> He's less -- like Paulie said
07:21 last round, he was nonchalant
07:22 last round.
07:23 This round, he's stepping on the
07:25 gas a little bit and Castro is
07:27 starting to land some shots.
07:29 There you go, being slick,
07:31 getting his head off line,
07:32 throwing punches.
07:33 He's actually doing better from
07:34 the southpaw position.
07:35 >> I don't know if he's winning
07:37 the round.
07:38 >> I don't think so.
07:39 He's still taking too many shots.
07:40 >> Way too busy for him.
07:41 >> He's not going to be able to
07:43 get a shot.
07:44 >> He's not going to be able to
07:46 get a shot.
07:47 >> Juan Ramirez Marquez told us
07:49 yesterday in the fighter
07:51 meetings that he has never been
07:53 in the high level of
07:55 conditioning that he is coming
07:57 into this fight.
07:58 You can see it with the
07:59 pressure.
08:00 >> Absolutely.
08:01 He started in the first round
08:02 putting the pressure.
08:03 This is a common sight in this
08:04 fight.
08:05 We're seeing Marquez pinning
08:06 Castro along the ropes.
08:07 Majority of these last two
08:08 rounds have been spent right
08:09 here.
08:10 He's really taking off on those
08:12 ropes, throwing those nice
08:13 punches to the shoulders, the
08:14 body, hitting whatever he can.
08:15 I really like when a guy does
08:16 that.
08:17 >> [ Speaking Spanish ]
08:20 >> His brother is his trainer.
08:22 His brother, former professional
08:24 fighter as well.
08:25 >> [ Speaking Spanish ]
08:28 [ Whistle blows ]
08:31 >> [ Speaking Spanish ]
08:34 >> [ Speaking Spanish ]
08:40 [ Bell dings ]
08:41 >> Good.
08:42 >> Super bantamweight battle
08:44 scheduled for ten rounds.
08:46 Last two fights for Castro have
08:48 been eight-rounders.
08:49 He went the distance against
08:52 15-0 Julio Lugo.
08:54 It was a split draw, and now he
08:58 looks for a ten-rounder
09:00 potentially for the first time
09:01 in his career.
09:02 Another eight-rounder he was
09:04 able to finish in the fourth by
09:07 TKO.
09:08 >> You know, Marcos, he's not
09:10 the prettiest guy.
09:11 The way he throws his shots, he's
09:13 got good timing.
09:14 He throws kind of in
09:15 anticipation.
09:16 He's not quick, like I said a
09:17 couple rounds ago, but he's
09:18 being effective.
09:19 He's landed some good shots.
09:20 He landed two tricky left hands
09:21 earlier, one to the body and one
09:23 to the chin of his opponent,
09:24 Castro.
09:25 >> One thing about Castro, he's
09:26 got to start to focus on the
09:27 real state of the ring.
09:28 You know, he's going to have to
09:29 keep this fight at center ring
09:30 where he probably would have
09:31 advantages fighting out of this
09:32 kind of stance.
09:33 You know, instead he's kind of
09:34 laying on the ropes a lot of
09:35 times, lets himself get back up
09:36 the ropes a lot of times, puts
09:37 himself there.
09:38 >> Ooh.
09:39 >> Good left hand.
09:40 He lands the individual good
09:41 shot here and there.
09:42 It's just, you know, it seems
09:43 like it's just few and far
09:44 between all the work that Marquez
09:47 ends up doing.
09:48 And again, he doesn't make a
09:49 concerted effort to keep the
09:50 fight at center ring, which is
09:51 really important in the eyes of
09:52 the judges, too.
09:54 >> Fifth time Juan Ramirez
09:56 Marquez has been scheduled for
09:58 ten rounds, and he has gone the
10:00 full ten rounds in the previous
10:03 four occasions.
10:05 As I mentioned, first ten
10:06 rounder for 24-year-old Nazario
10:09 Castro against Marquez from
10:11 Mexico City.
10:13 Midway point of round three.
10:14 >> Castro has a chance now.
10:15 You know, he's landed a few good
10:16 pot shots this round.
10:17 He has a chance now as Marquez
10:18 is starting to slow down the
10:19 pressure to make sure the fight
10:20 stays at center ring.
10:21 Instead, look at him.
10:22 He lets himself, he puts
10:23 himself back on the ropes.
10:24 There he got out.
10:25 He got out.
10:26 But he literally just puts
10:27 himself back to the ropes
10:28 instead of starting to take
10:29 charge.
10:30 As Marquez is bringing less and
10:31 less pressure, you have a chance
10:32 to now step up to the plate and
10:33 take charge.
10:34 >> Castro is actually starting
10:35 to time Marquez as he's coming
10:36 in, landing some nice
10:37 counterpunches.
10:38 It seems like he's punching with
10:40 Marquez to try and have him run
10:41 into the shots, and that's why
10:42 we're getting those eye-catching
10:44 blows like that.
10:45 >> And a good uppercut previous
10:48 to that exchange.
10:50 Marquez has never been stopped.
10:52 He's gone the distance in all
10:54 six of his setbacks, and again,
10:56 he aggressively works the body
10:58 and head.
10:59 >> That was one of those shots
11:00 I was talking about, those
11:01 anticipation shots.
11:02 He threw that looping right hand
11:03 as Castro was trying to move out,
11:05 and he walked right into it.
11:09 >> It's got to be a sense of
11:11 urgency in Nazario Castro's
11:13 attack here soon.
11:16 >> He's definitely having a better
11:17 round this round.
11:18 He's landed some big shots,
11:19 eye-catching shots.
11:20 Marquez has not been as busy and
11:22 not putting on as much pressure.
11:25 Close round, though.
11:26 >> Yeah, again, and he keeps it
11:28 close because he doesn't make a
11:29 concerted effort to keep it at
11:30 center ring.
11:31 He gets to center ring by
11:32 accident, and it's almost like
11:33 he realizes somebody's at center
11:34 ring, and he goes back to the
11:35 ropes.
11:36 Great deal, and a nice shot.
11:38 >> That's a slip.
11:39 >> Yep.
11:40 [ Bell dings ]
11:43 [ Indistinct conversations ]
11:47 >> You see that.
11:50 Good straight left hand, and
11:52 then a slip, and the ring looked
11:54 like it was a little wet there.
11:56 >> His right foot just kind of
11:57 slid out from under him.
11:58 >> Yeah, he did get hit with a
11:59 good straight left hand right
12:00 before that, but it didn't seem
12:02 related.
12:03 >> Yeah, that was a good
12:04 slip.
12:05 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
12:06 shot.
12:07 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
12:08 shot.
12:09 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
12:10 shot.
12:11 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
12:12 shot.
12:13 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
12:14 shot.
12:15 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
12:16 shot.
12:17 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
12:18 shot.
12:19 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
12:20 shot.
12:21 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
12:22 shot.
12:23 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
12:24 shot.
12:25 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
12:26 shot.
12:27 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
12:28 shot.
12:29 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
12:30 shot.
12:31 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
12:32 shot.
12:33 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
12:34 shot.
12:35 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
12:36 shot.
12:37 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
12:38 shot.
12:39 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
12:40 shot.
12:41 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
12:42 shot.
12:43 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
12:44 shot.
12:45 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
12:46 shot.
12:47 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
12:48 shot.
12:49 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
12:50 shot.
12:51 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
12:52 shot.
12:53 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
12:54 shot.
12:55 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
12:56 shot.
12:57 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
12:58 shot.
12:59 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
13:00 shot.
13:01 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
13:02 shot.
13:03 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
13:04 shot.
13:05 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
13:06 shot.
13:07 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
13:08 shot.
13:09 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
13:10 shot.
13:11 >> Yeah, and he's got a good
13:12 shot.
13:13 >> Yeah, and he's got a good

20:13 >> That was that left hand
20:14 early in the round.
20:15 Beautifully timed, hard, nasty
20:16 shot.
20:17 >> You can see it from, I think,
20:18 a different angle.
20:19 Yeah, it rips the body first,
20:20 and, ooh, yeah, that stumbled
20:21 Marquez, actually.
20:22 That was the most effective
20:23 punch I've seen tonight.
20:24 >> But did he win the round?
20:25 >> I don't think so.
20:26 I don't think so.

22:13 >> And he gives that shoulder shrug every once in a while, but then doesn't throw punches.
22:16 >> Right.
22:17 >> Telling Marquez, "You're not hurting me," but then again, Nazario Castro's not scoring either.
22:25 >> Yeah, yeah, you gotta get off shots.
22:27 As again, I mean, Marquez with the little pot shot, I mean, obviously, you can see that Castro is the harder puncher.
22:35 You can see the damage on Marquez's face when Castro's had his moments, but, you know,
22:39 I mean, Marquez with more consistency overall.
22:42 >> Mexico City against Sinaloa. Castro fighting at home once again where the majority of his professional fights have been in Sinaloa, Mexico.
22:52 Where we bring you three bouts on this Wednesday night on your boxing channel, ProBoxTV.
22:58 >> Marquez is having a really good round. Castro's spending way too much time on the ropes as usual and just not throwing enough, not enough output.
23:08 >> A lot of work here from Marquez. Starting the round with a lot of good body work.
23:12 >> Yep.
23:13 >> Throwing body work here in the middle of the round.
23:15 >> And if you're gonna lay in there, you gotta throw punches back.
23:19 You can't lay in there and just not really fight back.
23:22 Anything that can create distance, you can hold a guy anyway.
23:25 Now he's starting to throw up.
23:27 >> And all the good work that Marquez is doing, his face is a disaster.
23:31 >> Yeah.
23:32 >> He's cut over one eye, his eye is swollen, his nose is bleeding.
23:34 >> Again, those sneaky uppercuts that Castro does lay in there, they're good shots.
23:38 They're fewer and further between, but they're decent shots there.
23:42 >> He also makes you run into shots. Like, you're getting full impact. Marquez is a good chin.
23:47 >> I can see that he's got the better ability when you see things like that.
23:50 So it's inexcusable that he doesn't get off enough.
23:52 >> Now he's trying to finish strong.
23:54 >> Yes, he did. Those two body shots late in the round, outstanding from Juan Ramirez Marquez.
24:01 >> Pass me the ice. Pass me the ice.
24:04 >> Head, body.
24:10 >> Beautiful straight right hand, left hook to the body.
24:12 Great body work from Marquez that round.
24:14 Was really letting his stuff go. Started the round just like that.
24:17 I like that we came with a straight punch because he was throwing some loopy shots upstairs and then ripped it down low.
24:22 >> A lot of times you bring the gloves to the center defensively of the opponent.
24:26 And then you go around to the side, body shot.
24:28 >> Coming up next, our co-main event, Alexis Molina and Ivan Mercado.
24:35 Bantamweight bout scheduled for 8th round.
24:38 >> Well, Paulie, if the guy doesn't have his hands up ever, he's not going to move them in close to open up that body shot.
24:45 >> Our co-main event, a battle of unbeatens.
24:49 It will be Sonora against Sinaloa.
24:54 First fight, scheduled for 10. And we continue.
24:58 Round number 7.
25:02 And after that, very effective round 6.
25:07 Castro, if you're not worried about the scorecard yet, he better get his stuff going.
25:12 Because Marquez has not been finished as a pro.
25:15 And right now Castro has some making up to do.
25:18 >> I wonder if that cut came from a clash of heads too.
25:21 >> It certainly looks like it. >> A lot of heads together here.
25:24 >> Yeah, it looked like Castro was getting the worst of it.
25:28 But that cut on the side of the eye, that's most likely a headbutt.
25:32 Because they were banging their heads together.
25:34 Fighting inside.
25:36 >> And you get a veteran like this, guys, who has really gone a lot of rounds as a professional.
25:42 We all know, all three of us know, there's some serious scar tissue built up over those eyes.
25:47 >> And look, on the inside, they're kind of like two little billy goats. They kind of bend their heads.
25:51 So there's either head-to-head collisions or head-to-face collisions.
25:55 >> Yeah, that skin gets real thin when you get older. >> Yep.
25:58 >> Good left landed to the side of the head of Marquez.
26:06 >> It's funny, when I got older, I was getting cut with just stupid punches.
26:09 Like a jab, which is cut. I was like, "Oh, I'm cut."
26:13 And early in my career, it wasn't like that. It was so way too--
26:15 It really is a crazy thing, how your skin gets less--
26:18 >> Less durable. >> Elasticy. I don't know what it's called.
26:21 But man, it was-- those average punches would end up cutting me later on in my career.
26:25 >> ProBoxTV, your boxing channel. Don't forget, we are just days away from our official launch news.
26:34 Talk shows, live fights, 24/7 coverage of your favorite sport.
26:39 Coverage that the fans truly deserve.
26:44 >> It's a really good scrappy round. Both guys having a good set.
26:47 Castro putting on a tremendous amount of pressure.
26:49 Nice left hook upstairs, right to that injured eye.
26:51 >> And to the body, Chris. >> Oh, yeah. He's putting on some good pressure right now.
26:55 This is what we're talking about. The guy can do it.
26:59 He makes it look easy when he steps on the gas, but he allows Marquez to be in the fight too much.
27:04 >> He just has to decide to go win the round, and he can.
27:08 >> You can tell. He's bigger, he's stronger. He's landing the heavier punches absolutely better.
27:13 And he's landing the heavier punches as well.
27:15 >> Marquez is fortunate, guys, that that cut by the right eye is on the side, so the blood is not going into his eye.
27:27 But obviously the swelling and the damage is there as he sneaks in a left to the chin of Castro.
27:32 >> They're banging heads together a lot. I actually think the nosebleed from Castro was from a headbutt as well.
27:41 >> And Castro's gone orthodox a lot more these last few rounds, and they're still banging heads.
27:47 >> It looks like Castro, he's physically stronger from the orthodox position. He's a little slicker from the southpaw position.
27:54 >> Much better round for Castro.
28:07 >> Some headbanging there. Let me tell you, even those little scrape, like those touches, I'm talking about skull to skull, you feel it, man.
28:15 >> Yep. And I always like to tell people at home during telecast, not only is the blood an issue, but headbutts hurt.
28:23 Sometimes you get rocked. I've seen stars getting headbutted in a fight, but also when the skin splits, it's always bruising and contusion underneath that.
28:30 The next day, a cut looks terrible. It's usually black and blue around the whole area, it's bleeding, it hurts physically.
28:36 >> [speaking Spanish]
28:39 >> The corner of Castro trying to light a fire, if you will, in his corner, telling him you've got to come out strong,
28:55 you've got to take center ring like you did last round.
28:59 >> As this ten-rounder continues, round number eight.
29:06 Nazario Castro, white, black and gold trunks.
29:10 Ramirez Marquez in the black trunks. He said he was in great condition from training at altitude.
29:16 Mike Goldberg, Chris Algieri, the magic man, Paulie Molinaggi, our powerful team here on a Wednesday night, bringing you three fights from Sinaloa.
29:25 >> [speaking Spanish]
29:28 >> Scorecards leaning towards Marquez thus far.
29:36 >> Yeah, I saw Marquez slightly ahead.
29:39 >> Paulie?
29:40 >> Yeah, I've got it 5-2 now, so, you know, I guess on my card, unless he scores a knockdown, the best Castro can do is get a draw.
29:46 It's just funny, because I can see the momentum going towards Castro, but I was saying that around four, and then he just decided to give some rounds away.
29:52 So let's see if he actually holds on to the momentum.
29:54 He's got the urgency in the corner that he's got to be the way he was the previous round and not let Marquez off the hook.
29:59 And on my card, he really can't afford to let Marquez off the hook, because it will cost him the fight.
30:03 >> But it does seem that Marquez is starting to wilt.
30:05 Big left hook upstairs wobbles him.
30:08 >> Just remember, man, if he stops Marquez, it'll be a good feather in his hat, because Marquez has never been stopped.
30:13 >> Yes.
30:14 >> And from what we've seen, I honestly think he could.
30:17 If he puts on sustained action for more than one or two rounds in a row, I believe he would be able to stop Marquez, especially he's doing so much damage to the face.
30:24 >> Right there, a good combination.
30:26 >> And he's starting to get reactions out of Marquez when he touches him.
30:30 >> I'm missing him.
30:33 >> Oh, good left hand down the middle as well.
30:35 Back to the southpaw position for Castro.
30:37 >> And if we do go to a round 9, it will be the first time Nazario Castro has gone to the 9th, potentially the 10th, as this is the first time he has been scheduled for a 10-round fight.
30:49 Goes to the body nicely.
30:51 Still over a minute on the clock here in round 8.
30:53 >> Putting a lot of pressure and smart to go to the body.
30:55 He's got a guy who's hurt in front of him.
30:57 He's busted up.
30:58 He's slowing down.
31:00 >> You can sort of see the sand running out of the hourglass.
31:03 >> Oh, yes, he's thrown the towel.
31:05 And Nazario Castro, the first fighter to stop Juan Ramirez Marquez, and he does it in round number 8.
31:16 >> Got the impressive win at the end.
31:19 While also having a lot of things to work on.
31:21 But, yeah, a solid win on his record this one.
31:23 >> Shaky start.
31:24 Some shaky battle rounds, too.
31:26 But, yeah, I mean, even when he was pressuring, he could have used the jab when he was bringing the pressure.
31:30 He was walking straight in, and that was obviously because Marquez was just trying to survive at that point.
31:35 He wasn't paying for it.
31:37 But he was still allowing Marquez to land the occasional shot.
31:39 So that's one thing he can work on.
31:41 And overall, Castro has the ability to take control of fights.
31:44 He's got to understand when it's time to step it up.
31:47 He did here, but for me, he could have done it much easier.
31:50 You see the towel again thrown in here on this replay.
31:53 >> I think that the corner saw what we saw, and that he was starting to wilt.
31:57 You don't know what was going on in between rounds.
31:59 He might have been telling him, "This guy's starting to hurt me."
32:01 And when you see a towel come in like that, not necessarily out of nowhere, it might have seemed early,
32:07 but we don't know what was going on in that corner.
32:09 >> But also you can see the facial reactions of Marquez.
32:12 He was feeling the pain.
32:13 One of the uppercuts he took in that round, he kind of made this face like, "That hurt."
32:17 Usually when you start showing the pain on your face, you're suffering enough to--
32:22 >> You don't have a lot left to think about.
32:24 >> Sure enough, the corner realized it.
32:28 >> Definitely wasn't the start that you would put on the textbook if you're the Castro team.
32:34 Marquez came out swinging.
32:36 >> Castro, he kind of started out a little bit lazy.
32:39 I think Paulie put it perfectly.
32:40 He was kind of nonchalant early on.
32:42 He was finding his timing, finding his rhythm.
32:44 He had a man in front of him who was very workmanlike, coming forward, throwing lots of shots.
32:47 I think Castro, when he goes back and looks at this, if he does study his tape,
32:51 is going to realize he got hit with a bunch of shots, lost some rounds that he really didn't need to
32:55 because once he stepped it up and started pouring it on, really, I mean, the class levels really showed.
33:01 I mean, it was only the rounds where Castro allowed Marquez to be in there
33:05 and to be in the center of the ring banging him that he took any damage
33:09 because once he started stepping on the gas and landing shots like that
33:11 and starting to get reactions from Marquez, it was just a matter of time.
33:15 >> And his corner did tell him, "You got to come out and take this fight."
33:19 And he did exactly that, Paulie, in the eighth and final round.
33:22 There's the towel and a win for Castro.
33:25 >> Yep, exactly. I mean, he took control.
33:29 And like I said, when he does take control, he shows that he can raise it up a level.
33:32 So it's just a matter of mentally making that decision.
33:35 >> Co-main event coming up next, a battle of unbeatens.
33:39 Ivan Mercado, 5-0-1. Alexis Molino, 8-0.
33:45 To make this one official, here's Victor Hugo Lopez Noriega.
33:49 >> The knockout, technical by technical knockout.
33:52 [Speaking Spanish]
33:56 From the blue corner, Nacerio "El Atómico" Castro!
34:05 >> Did it in the eighth, in his first fight scheduled for ten.
34:13 [BLANK_AUDIO]
