Jose Luis Castillo: Such Is Life

[ferocity]

That is not a bad idea... that way both fighter are at optimum level...

I seen a recent Hatton picture, man he looks differnt, he looks way thinned out. But i know this is how he does it all the time too, but man, he shouldn't ballon up that much after fights - Hatton leave the beer alone, lol.

Anyone got any Pics of Castillo training? Doesnt he have to make a weight limit 7 days out?

Jose Luis Castillo weighed in at 146.5 pounds in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico, seven days prior to his WBC 140lb eliminator against Herman Ndgoujo on January 20 in Las Vegas. Castillo stated that he doesn't have any problems making 140 lbs., and he feels wonderful. Team Castillo will arrive in Vegas on Tuesday via private jet. Ngoudjo’s weight was 145.5 pounds.

I think we've been saying it here in the forums for a long time. Jose Luis Castillo is a throw back to a time where fighters would fight often and ur record didnt matter and a fighter was as good as the last fighter he beat.

Agreed Castillo is a true fighter, and is the one fighter who can make a valid claim to have beaten PBF.

I struggle to see how a man who has made 135 for years really struggles to make 140 though, seems strange, I mean he's got an extra 5lbs to play with! He's probably bulking up in preparation for facing someone as strong as Hatton...

What you say does seem logical. I spoke with Castillo at the Morales-Pacquioa III event and he stated feeling great. He did look a little big, but not fat. We shall see. I'm just glad he is back.
