Joe Goddard (3-1 1) vs. Eliecer Castillo (0-1) – Joe had won a split decision in their first meeting, though, in my opinion, his winning the last 2 rounds, and having scored a KD, gave him the fight by 2 points

. Castillo, again, came in for this fight after visiting Party central!

Eliecer came out swinging, hurting Joe with a freight train right hook, then dropping him with an awesome uppercut

! Goddard was up at the count of 4, covering up as Castillo came in for the kill. Goddard blocked and slipped Castillo’s clumsy bomb attempts, then starting landing some sharp counters, so the round ended 13-9, very close in light of the fact that there was plenty of time for Castillo to notch a stoppage!

Castillo landed a few jabs and hooks in the 2nd, enough to take the round, 8-5, as Goddard couldn’t get untracked, as his timing was off. Joe landed a crisp cross to open the 3rd, but still wasn’t operating on all cylinders, and kept misfiring. Castillo landed a good hook, and mugged Goddard, picking up 2 warnings, but his roughhouse tactics won him the round, 12-4. Would Goddard get untracked?

Yes, he would and did after a plodding first minute in the 4th. Goddard exploded with a sharp right, then stunned the party animal with a double hook. To his credit, that seemed to wake Eliecer up, and he started connecting on punches, many of them uppercuts, to narrow the gap to 15-10. Opening the 5th with a bang, Goddard nearly floored Castillo with an uppercut

. The party man looked beat, but rallied during some nice exchanges, and made it respectable, 13-8.

Goddard started with a great two minutes in the 6th, again nearly decking Eliecer with a strong uppercut to start the festivities! Castillo fought back with some furious flurries, his hammering hooks almost pulling the round out, 14-12! Again the fast starter, Goddard dropped Castillo with a shot that almost caused the rum in his belly to erupt

! Eliecer was up at the count of 6, but clearly on Bink Street! Goddard, who had got 7 KDs against Andrew Golota, went after the covering Castillo, but the game Cuban showed his mettle, avoiding further damage and even landing a few crisp counters, so the round ended only 10-6! Still, I had Goddard ahead after his 4 round rally!

Goddard was tired coming out for the 8th, as he had fired indiscriminately trying to end it the previous round. He landed a nice right, and was up after two minutes, but Castillo rallied yet again, and a searing right just before (or after?) the bell sounded may have won him the round, 9-8! Joe went for broke in the 9th. After a quiet first minute, he tagged Eliecer with a deadly combination, and turned back every Castillo rally with punches of his own, winning, 12-6.

Eliecer needed the 10th, so he went out and clinched mightily for the first half of the round

. Goddard finally got untangled and was quicker to and more frequent with the punches, racking up at 8-4 round that won him the fight, in my opinion, 96-94! He had ruled from Round 4 on! The wise judges scored the fight 94-94, 95-93 Goddard and 95-93, Castillo, so it went into the books as a draw. Goddard stood there stunned, muttering something that was close to “Goddard” but rhymed with god-ham. They’d fight again!
