    making excuses for castillo.would you feel the same if the bigger corrales did that? come on.

    let me hear how you rationalize that.and don't pull a mckay.

      I think your right. I saw 147 also. Once Castillo rehydrates, 147 may not be a walk in the park either.

        We have gone from the mouthpiece controversy to the weigh in controversy. If they both weight about the same at 3pm tomorrow, I guess I can live with it and it's at least a compromise that allows for a fair fight if both come in near 147. But if Castillo wins, it will be fair to say he cheated to do it and the sport doesn't need that at all. This sucks.

        It doesn't happen often that a fighter doesn't make weight, so it's a Castillo problem and doesn't need a knee jerk reaction with demands to change the sport. Ban Castillo from future title fights for 2 years, and take a big chunk out of his purse.

        That's the only way to make fighters take this seriously - make an example out of Castillo. This is one of the highest profile PPV's this year, and this is just a terribly unprofessional thing to happen. Shame on Castillo and his camp for not being prepared.

                Very unprofessional on the part of Castillo. He had months to prepare for this weigh in.

                  i agree 100 %

                  a professional makes weight .

                  plus a member of his team was caught touching the scales to cheat the weight .

                  right now it s a 147 pounds non title fight .

                      steelhead, Mayweather already KTFO Corrales, or did you forget Corrales hitting the deck 5 times in one night? hahahaha, its funny you calling him the *****. Corrales is the one who has drained himself for years to make 130 now 135. It is ironic that Castillo would be the one between these two who comes in overweight. Oh well, Mayweather and Casamayor really beat them both easily. Mayweather and Casamayor both knocked Chico out.
