FORMER WBA super-welterweight champion Erislandy Lara (Guantanamo, Cuba) and reigning WBA secondary 154lb title-holder Brian Castano (Isidro Casanova, Argentina) will have to wait another day for a verdict to their spirited tussle at the Barclays Center after it ended in a split draw. A reported 7,329 spectators showed up – first-hand observation, however, suggests that to be a much inflated figure. Judge Kevin Morgan scored it 115-113 for Castano, John McKaie tallied 115-113 for Lara, and Julie Lederman had it all even at 114-114.
