castillo might have a chance if he has at something leftComment

He really doesn't look all that good. I hope he's not planning on having a long running career at this weight because based on his last performances and the way he's looking he can't compete with the top talent in this division. He should preserve his pride and status as a Mexican warrior and retire soon. He's had a great career and is above fighting for a few bucks. Best of luck to him, but my money is on Gomez, he's younger, hungrier, and can probably handle this version of Castillo.

Maybe. The last time I saw Castillo, was against Hatton, who half killed him. He was very shaky on his legs. Fortunately, Gomez isn't very good, never was, and isn't getting any better.Originally posted by rod_serrs View Post He really doesn't look all that good.

castillo has no business at 147, its a real shame such an extraordinary warrior has too much pride for his own good
gomez will probably take advantage of this oppertunity and might overpower him even though gomez doesnt have the skills to frustrate castilloComment

If Gomez wins this fight you can guarantee that Castillo will hang them up.Originally posted by rod_serrs View Post He really doesn't look all that good.
