While Castillo entered the fight with 20 knockouts in 22 victories, he was unable to apply sustained pressure against the former world champion.<\/p>\n<p>Scull, 33, remained in control through the opening rounds, using his movement and accurate punching to keep Castillo from building any sustained offense.<\/p>\n<p>The fight ended in the fourth round when Scull forced the referee to intervene after hurting Castillo with a clean shot.<\/p>\n<p>With Castillo unable to defend himself effectively, the referee stepped in to wave off the contest, giving Scull a TKO victory.<\/p>\n<p>The win improves Scull\u2019s record to 24-2 (10 KOs), while Castillo falls to 22-6 (20 KOs).<\/p>\n<p>The victory for Scull is an important reset after a difficult stretch that included a decision loss to Canelo Alvarez followed by a stoppage defeat to Jacob Bank earlier this year. Although Castillo was not among the division\u2019s leading contenders, the performance allowed Scull to regain confidence with an emphatic finish.<\/p>\n<p>Scull was a heavy pre-fight favorite, and the bout unfolded largely as expected. He showcased the technical boxing and ring control that carried him to a world title, while also delivering one of the more decisive stoppage victories of his professional career.<\/p>\n<p>The win gave Scull a needed rebound after consecutive defeats and improved his professional record to 24-2 (10 KOs).<\/p>\n<p>Tom Galm is a boxing journalist who has covered the global fight landscape since 2014, specializing in heavyweight analysis, industry trends, and fighter psychology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The scheduled eight-round super middleweight contest served as a bounce-back opportunity for the Cuban after consecutive defeats, and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":779607,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-779606","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/779606","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=779606"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/779606\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/779607"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=779606"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=779606"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=779606"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
