Later tonight, Jose Luis Castillo returns to the ring for the first time since his 4 round dissection of Diego Corrales. The opponent on the other side of the ring, Rolando Reyes (26-3-2, 16KOs), appears to be mentally set for the bout, but the body doesn't always comply with the demands of the mind.
Corrales' training injury has opened the door for Reyes, he knows he may never see another opportunity like this for a very long time. From the accounts give to me by several respected boxing writers, Reyes will be seriously overpowered in the bout. I've heard his chin is not too solid either.
On the other hand, Reyes is said to be a decent boxer and does get better as the fight progresses. Castillo was able to easily make weight for the bout, which is a good indication that he worked very hard in his preparations for the bout. We were supposed to get a war tonight, let's hope we at least get some fireworks.
