    Castillo's Last Stand?

    Does anyone believe that Castillo might be fighting this only for the money? From the pictures I've seen he just doesn't look real focused on training. He is just mostly smiling and waiting for the fight to fall in his lap.

    With his still recent weight problems and the death of Corrales; does Castillo even want this fight anymore? Is he just in this for the money, or does he still have passion to win the fight?

    I believe Castillo has proven to be the type of fighter that always fights with heart and to win......whether or not his body can still stay up with his mind and heart remains to be seen.I won't give Hatton much credit if Castillo is not into the fight,just like I give him little credit for not beating but frustrating with Zoo with his mauling technique......lets not forget a Zoo that had'nt fought except 3 rounds in the previous 2 years before fighting Hatton.I think Castillo will win tho.

        After all the things that have happened to him recently, he very well could just ride this fight out.

          If Castillo was fighting for money he wouldn't have accepted just $500,000 for the fight, hes relaxed because hes been there done it all before, Castillo im 100% sure will be prepared and up for this fight!

            I think all the talk of Castillo being done has been a very well placed ploy...read ********* today and you see Bob Arum almost calling out his own fighter basically stating this is it for Castillo either great performance or no more marketability.

            Arum is no Gary Shaw (meaning when he pseaks he knows what he is doing as opposed to Shaw) at least in my mind and I believe he along with others have injected this "OLD" Castillo talk to light a fire under his ass.

            The fire is lit and JL certianly feels it, I think win or lose he will respond.

            Cant wait, fly out tomorrow morning for the weigh in!

              I think I called that one on the nose... By the way, I don't disrespect Castillo at all... He has had it really rough.
