SANTA MONICA, Calif. – It was not the ending he wanted, but unbeaten junior lightweight Marc Castro will take the resulting victory.
Castro outboxed George Acosta, winning by technical decision Wednesday night on the famed Santa Monica Pier.
The 24-year-old Castro boxed from distance throughout much of the fight. Castro repeatedly connected with lead and counter right crosses to Acosta’s head.
Acosta did his best work during round three, increasing his punch output and landing more to the head.
