Castro maintained complete control throughout the fight.
Round five was won by a sweet shot from the youngster.
Castro got Mendoza flattened by a spectacular uppercut.
The referee quickly waved off the contest and declared the American victor.
The knockout attracted a lot of social media attention.
Castro was again the focus of attention, but this time it was purely because of his appearance.
Fans shared the observation that Elon Musk looks a lot like the 23-year-old during all eight of his pro-fights.
It is not surprising that Tesla CEO Elon Musk has yet to respond to these comparisons.
