Castano hosted an open training session earlier in the week for media. He appeared calm and confident when answering questions. Castano stated that he worked with his camp to bring the same level of aggression, but with a better defense that limits Charlo’s ability to counter it.

Castano stated that the fight with Charlo was a learning experience. "One of my biggest lessons was to be more careful when I'm in ring. Although he's strong, I will bring my own power. We have learned from our first fight, and we will correct any mistakes we made.

Castano stated that, while he was not surprised that Charlo and Castano saw their first fight differently but that he is motivated in part by Charlo's insistance at new conferences leading to the rematch in which he beat Charlo by four rounds.

Castano stated that "our press conference was intense" and that our exchanges had motivated him a lot. Castano said that he had seen a different fight from me if he could see himself winning eight rounds. I feel like I won, but I don't know what I saw.

Charlo stated to the media this week that Saturday's historic milestone is what motivates him. He would be the first four-belt champion to become the division's unified champion with a win. He believes that a win will confirm his status as one the most outstanding boxers this generation.

Charlo has also a modest but impressive record in rematches. In December 2018, Charlo lost to Tony Harrison in unanimous decision. This loss cost him the WBC title. He regained his belt one year later with a dominating performance in a rematch that earned him an 11th-round stoppage.

Charlo has one other negative on his record: last year's draw with Castano. Charlo stated that he will make the most of another chance.

Charlo stated that Brian Castano is aware of the fact that he has his hands full again. "But it doesn't matter what they say, It's not about Brian Castano. This is Charlo's chance."

Wise prefers the over 10.5 rounds. Wise also revealed a solid money-line pick, and he has a pair prop picks, one of which returns 3-1. SportsLine is the only place you can see his boxing picks.
