Spanish 20-year veteran Javier Castillejoīs long and glorious career surely came to a brutal end at the hands of EBU middleweight champ Sebastian Sylvester on Saturday night in Neubrandenburg. At the same time Sylvester - improving fight by fight and with that fragile look about him is gone and replaced by the confidence of a champion - emerged as a genuine threat to WBA champ Felix Sturm and a big all-German worldtitle fight can be on for early fall. Sebastianīs win also finally opens the door for the number one challenger in the EBU ratings, Finn Amin Asikainen, who was ringside in Neubrandenburg. As for Castillejo, he spent the night in a hospital as a precaution but is now back in Spain nursing his wounds. [details]
