Parken Stadium; Copenhagen, Denmark
Friday, June 5th, 1992
Johnny Bredahal 14-0 (5) Denmark
vs.
Armando Castro 34-10-1 (28)
The odds were even on who would win this battle between proven contender Armando Castro and the up and coming Johnny Bredahl. The Danish fighter’s biggest win to date was a 7th round TKO of Donnie Hood for the EBU (European) title. The biggest fight of Castro’s career thus far was his unsuccessful 1991 challenge of Khaosai Galaxy for the WBA Jr. Bantam belt. Although Castro lost a wide unanimous decision against Galaxy, he proved himself to be worthy of his lofty ranking and a force to be reckoned with in the Jr. Bantam division. Nicknamed “Monstruo”, Castro was expected to provide a major test for the still relatively unproven 1988 Olympian from Denmark.
Not a particularly pleasing fight to watch. Bredahl managed to drop Castro in the 2nd, but landed few power shots the rest of the fight. Castro tried, but struggled to land against the quick moving Bredahl. The final 4 rounds were the best of the fight, as a tiring Bredahl fended off the oncoming Castro. The final scores were closer than Bredahl would have liked at 95-94, 95-94, and 99-91.
