Castillo has been done since the first fight with Corrales. They both took everything out of each other. After that fight, neither fighter could even make weight anymore. And just like Corrales, JLC would get wrecked if he went up to welterweight. Time to retire. -

I don't think that anyone brave enough to get into a professional boxing ring is a "discrase". Castillo has given us hjis best every time, basically ruined himself to give us entertainment and make a living (which we are all entitled to), and we have NO BUSINESS in defaming and name-calling. The poor guy is broke, uneducated, a sparring-partner and fighter all his life, and now ready for the scrap-heap, with damaged health. People are so quick to jump on the back of a guy who can't defend himself.
I was always totally against that massive $250,000 fine, Nevada gave him, much of any fine should also have come from his handlers and promoters. Any fair-minded perso, with an ounce of brains, would see that at the end of a brutal career, ALL fighters, particularly top class fighters, should by right, have enough to live in decency and dignity, and not end as club bouncers, or carrying buckets for their former trainers, who never took a blow.Comment
