Jose Luis Castillo Says 2010 Will Be His Year
By Mark Vester
Former two-time lightweight champion Jose Luis Castillo says 2010 will be his year to win a world title at junior welterweight. He's been fighting at welterweight in a few of his last fights. Castillo says lightweight will be impossible to get down to but he thinks he can make 140 and still be a force.
"In my last fight, when I beat Carlos Urias in Tepic by technical knockout in two rounds, I weighed 145 pounds on the scales, and in my previous match, when I beat Cristian Solano in Los Cabos, I weighed 147, the welterweight limit. In my next fight I hope to make 140 pounds, which is the junior welterweight limit, to see how I feel at that weight," Castillo told ESTO. "I think I still have what it takes to be a force in boxing."
Castillo has a record of 52-9-1, including wins over Stevie Johnston, Juan Lazcano, Joel Casamayor, Diego Corrales, Julio Diaz, Cesar Bazan and Jorge Paez and others.
