Since losing his WBA super flyweight title last summer to the inexperienced Nobuo Nashiro in Japan, Martin Castillo has bounced back with two victories. In May he would stop Jorge Romero in five and then go the distance against the always-durable Oscar Andrade. They were, at best, workmanlike performances from the skilled craftsman, but nothing particularly eye-opening or spectacular.
In truth, he looked like a fighter who was not only rusty, but perhaps a bit disinterested. But as he headlines this Friday night’s 'Solo Boxeo' telecast against Jonathan Perez at Cicero Stadium near Chicago, what motivates him is the possibility of a face-off with Jorge Arce in 2008.
