Alvarez, a former unified Middleweight champion who has dabbled in higher weight classes, officially started a full-time tenure at 158 pounds with his title-winning domination of Callum Smith in Dec. 2020 (watch highlights).

Earlier in the evening, Elwin “La Pulga” Soto puts his WBO Light Flyweight title on the line against Japanese standout Katsunari Takayama, Super Welterweight Kieron Conway looks to halt the rise of Olympic bronze medalist Souleymane Cissokho, and Cuban Heavyweight prospect Frank Sanchez takes on veteran Nagy Aguilera.
The 21-year-old Castro turned pro in December, and has now fought all of his pro bouts on Canelo Alvarez undercards, earning stoppages each time out. The Fresno native is a prospect Matchroom love, a very good amateur who seems suited for the pro ranks.
He came out absolutely firing on Castillo (9-2, 6 KO) here, throwing everything and the kitchen sink in the first round.
