Castillo makes 30-day weight!

Wednesday, December 20 2006

By Karl Freitag

Today the WBC sent representatives to weigh both Jose Luis Castillo and Herman Ngoudjo at their respective camps. Castillo's numbers are of particular interest as he recently failed spectacularly in making the weight limit for two scheduled WBC lightweight title fights against Diego Corrales. Jose Herrera Ornelas weighed Jose Luis Castillo in Toluca, Mexico and his weight is 154 lbs. Jack Woodburn weighed Herman Ngoudjo in Canada and his weight is 153.5 lbs. Castillo and Ngoudjo collide on January 20 in Las Vegas in a WBC super lightweight (140lb) eliminator. At the 30 day weigh-in, a fighter cannot weigh over 10% of his contract weight, so both fighters are right about at the limit. At the seven day weigh-in, a fighter must be within 5% of his or her contract weight.

i hope he beats the other dude, and i hope hatton beats urango. so theres a mega fight next year

That would be an awesome fight...

I think Castillo will blow Hatton out of the water, it will be a stoppage probably on cuts if not a KO. Castillo is the man when it comes to in- fighting and Hatton is at best a good swarmer with mediocre power at best.IMO

For those who are wondering, Castillo will be fighting this guy:- (the dark trunks)

whoa, funny fight, whos the other guy????

[LoftyDog]

Good, at least hes on schedule for this fight, it would suck if he didn't make weight AGAIN.

Good vid, but its hard to judge a fighter while he's fighting Agustus. LOl I knew right away it was him before the camera even zoomed in all the way by his arms spinning around.

Thanks. I expect Castillo to be able to do the same.

He looked like a solid fighter, he just was fighting a much better man.

At best I think you know very little about Hatton at best.


Castillo has been stopped on cuts, Hatton hasn't.

Hatton is bigger, faster and stronger than Castillo and has better all round skills (when he chooses to use them).

Castillo needs to cut down on the Tecates and move straight up to 147 and fight the bigger names. Hatton will be there soon also.
