Jose Luis Castillo Targets a Junior Witter Clash

[denboy]

Junior Witter has a perfect chance to enhance his reputation in America after being offered a fight against Mexican Jose Luis Castillo.



The Sheffield fighter was contacted by a US promoter to say Castillo, who lost in four rounds to Ricky Hatton last June, wanted a match.


WBC champion Witter badly wants US TV exposure, however his advisers may be against a bout with the former world champ.


Trainer Dominic Ingle told the Sheffield Star: "If Junior was to go over and beat him easily - which he is capable of doing - people will just say Castillo is washed up and was when Hatton beat him."


The Sheffield camp were hoping to get their light welterweight star back in action around April.



Retire?


Witter's last fight saw him successfully defend his crown for the second time after stopping Vivian Harris at Doncaster last September.

He should take the fight.

Witter can get his begging bowl outta Hatton's face now, he should take this opportunity to earn some real money.

At this point, Castillo would lose on points. Just trying to make another big payday.

good payday for castillo to end it with win or lose. wittier will have a decent test, if he losses or looks bad in winning he will need to shut up

What the hell is your Mayweather/Hatton video clip about? It looks like you like looking at Floyds ass. The most exciting moment in the fight was in the 10th rd when Floyd landed a beautiful left hook on Hatton that had him looking like a deer in the headlights.

Perhaps he appreciates Floyd's brilliant acting job. He flopped better than Wlade Divac when he was with the Lakers.

At this point in his career Castillo is just a name opponent. A win over him would look good for Lamont Peterson or Victor Ortiz. For Junior Witter, it would mean nothing. He's not going to look better than Hatton did against him, so what's the point?
