Comments Thread For: Jose Luis Castillo Retires: "I Don't Have it Any More"

[!! Shawn]

Castillo looked awful. I don't know how he was allowed to fight. His balance and co-ordination looked terrible tonight. It was sad to see.

Agreed. Even watching him try and move in the ring was painful. The man can barely stand on his own two feet.

i'm glad he's retiring. i hope he saved up some money

I felt bad for Jose, as soon as the bell rang and I saw how his co-ordination, balance and overall ability had deteriorated to the extent that he looked almost clumsy in there, I knew it was going to end before 6 or so. It was a very good stoppage, luckily he was not hurt too badly.

There is some real dumb **** being said here about Castillo and others. I was profoundly saddened he quit like he did, but will never ever complain about being ripped off or short-changed by Jose Luis Castillo. I'd really like everyone to forget about the burn-out, and to remember the flame....

Sad to see a warrior quit like that, but it's true that there was no point going on.

One of the hardest dudes to ever step in the ring. The fact that he gave so much in every fight is likely the reason he's completely shot at 36.

Thanks for the great fights, Jose!

The fight should have never been made. Castillo was past it years ago. Now he's shot. The man was a warrior and he deserved better.

I think he should have retired after the hatton fight, i guess he needed a few more paydays.

gomez has the same resume as mayweather now. potential fight in the works?

It's sad that Castillo isn't main event material anymore. It's even sadder that he went in before Soto. More so when he was paired off with the Contender guy. To top it off, he lost to Gomez.

It's funny that Castillo didn't realize that he didn't have it anymore AFTER the fight and not BEFORE. I guess he was looking to have his purse of $50,000 deposit to his account before he announced his retirement, what a ****** liar.

A typical stinking undercard bearing the signature of the
"long nosed" promoter who is coming up with an even worse event when he throw in his ***ish brother with Cotto...if this was a stinker you haven't seen what is coming...
