Second fight Jermella Charlo (34-1-1, 18 KOs) and Brian Castaño (17-0-2, 12 KOs) for four belts in the junior middleweight division is due to take place in February in Houston.

Boxers crossed gloves for the first time in July this year. After twelve rounds, the judges considered that the fight ended in a draw. The first half of the bout looked better Castagno, who successfully pressed the opponent to the ropes and attacked him with accurate punches at a medium distance. The American was never able to impose his game until the end of the fight. Although in the final rounds Charlo had his moments, and he was able to shake a tired opponent several times.

It seemed that the Argentine deserved more in the course of the fight, but in the end the judges counted a draw. The winner of the rematch will be obliged to defend the WBO championship belt against Tim Tszyu.
