Later tonight, the participants of the "fight of the decade" get their much deserved chance to do it one more time. Unlike the first bout, controversy was in the air before the bell rang to start the fight.
Jose Luis Castillo was the center of attention at the weighin as he was unable to make weight for the contracted 135 pound battle. Because Castillo was unable to make weight, the WBC and WBO lightweight titles will not be on the line. The promoters Gary Shaw and Bob Arum, have agreed to allow Castillo to re-weigh-in later today. The most Castillo can weigh is 147 pounds, or else he will be fined $75,000 for every pound over 147.
The undercard will feature Carlos 'Famoso' Hernandez vs. Bobby Pacquiao; the brother of Manny Pacquiao. Can Bobby start his own legacy here tonight? We will find out.
A rematch will take place between Jorge Arce and Hussein Hussein. Their first fight is a leading runner up contender for the main event's fight of the year title. When these two men met in the ring, it was a nine round all out war. Most expect the same fireworks.
Undefeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. will also be in action. [details]
