Jose Luis Castillo Having Weight Issues?

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

It appears that the scales of justice may be unbalanced for the upcoming World Boxing Council (WBC) super lightweight title elimination bout between undefeated No. 1 contender TIMOTHY "Desert Storm" BRADLEY and No. 2 rated JOSE LUIS CASTILLO, the former two-time WBC lightweight champion. Bradley (21-0, 11 KOs), from Palm Springs, Calif., weighed 143.5 lbs at his seven-day weigh-in, well below the 147 lbs. maximum allowed. Castillo (56-8-1, 48 KOs), from Mexicali, Mexico, in his last WBC report, did not include his seven-day weight, a clear violation of WBC rules. Castillo, who has a history of not making weight for fights, reportedly weighed 151 lbs at his 30-day weigh-in, leading to speculation that he may be suffering from dietary inflation. The weight limit for their March 8 fight in Cancun, Mexico is 140 lbs. [details]

Man did he go downhill in a hurry......He looked absolutely horrible and slow against Hatton and I think he's fought once since then but I didn't see it......anyway it's time to hang em up Castillo....It was a great ride and you gave us some great memories.

If he can't make light welterweight anymore then it's time to hang them up like Gatti did.

You're right. It's a bad situation when you can't make weight but aren't capable of competing at the same level in the next weight class. At least Gatti was well paid to take those beatings at welterweight. From what I have heard Castillo needs the money too.

thats sad about castillo needing the money after all the great fights hes been in

Money issues are what happened when you have bastard promoters with no overview.

Hold up what the **** is going on. I know this may seem sort of ****** but I need it clarified. Super lightweight is 140 lbs. and Jr. Welterweight is 140 lbs. right? So why is the same weight class under 2 different names? With the 2 names do the alphabet belts have 2 different champions?

In this case Castillo didn't do himself any favors by not making weight and having to pay huge fines.

Damn Castillo, your final shot and your blowing it
