missed weight by 5 F'n Pounds as per fightnews and b-talk. Ridiculous. The fight should be cancelled as Castillo was too unprofessional to make weight and Chico learned what happens when you fight an unfair fight last time. Disgraceful
5:25PM: Corrales promoter Gary Shaw announces that the fight is off. Castillo's promoter Bob Arum says he is "mortified and completely embarrassed." The SHOWTIME telecast will go on with IBF flyweight champion Vic Darchinyan vs Luis Maldonado as the main event.
ARRGHHH,CASTILLO :mad:
Tone down the rhetoric, kids. Castillo is no more a cheater than anyone else. He cannot make 135 and that's obvious. He is trying though. Hell, if he was missing it on purpose he would already be hydrated up to 145 bynow instead of still at 139.5. It is plainly obvious he is still trying to make weight.
Did Castillo make a mistake by trying to fight at 135? Yes.
However, we must remember that this is not 'cheating'. Corrales' camp gets to decide if the fight goes on. It's not like they have to take it.
:D exactly. nicely said
wouldnt it be great if carrales takes the fight, and ends up KOing a heavier castillo. It'd be the proudest moment of his career, and my boxing watching career.
Yeah, I wanted Castillo to win the third fight but now I'm just so pissed I hope he get KTFO, if the fight happens ofcourse.

Except that Delahoya didn't just sign to take a fight agreeing to make 130. ;)
yeah but theres talk about him going down to 147 and i dont think he can make that weight ;)
Then he shouldn't have said he was 139 on Monday and he shouldn't have signed the dotted line. How the fuck do you come in 138 for Rolando Reyes and 140 for Corrales?
because you build up some muscle during trainning.
its like asking de la hoya to make 130 again there body is not capable of doing this anymore

i lost respect for castillo. What was the weight he came into when he fought reyes a couple of months ago??
I think it was 139.....like I said it plain and simple he thaught he could make 135, he cant. Cancel the fight and move on with your life.
Update: Castillo has failed to lose weight in the 2 hour period he was given!!!! :mad: :mad:
I think he didn't even try to lose the weight after they gave him the chance, to lose .5 pound in 2 hours??? C'mon.
there are there watching him trying to lose the weight. obviously the guy cant make 135 no matter what he does.this has nothing to do with him being dirty or even a cheater.It is just plain and simple....HE CANNOT MAKE 135. Now it is up to Corrales to take the fight.
