Everybody puts on the pounds the day of the fight, but the rules state that if you are fighting at 135 lbs, then the day before the fight, you must weigh in at 135. From that point on, you can balloon as big as you want, which both guys would have to around 147 each. But by not making weight the day before the weigh-in, Castillo already got himself a head start. Hell, he was 138 when he left the scales yesterday while Corrales is exactly at 135. Sorry, I didn't realize so many of you were just getting into boxing. I didn't realize I needed to explain this one, but since most of you arguing in favor of Castillo are newbies to the sport, I'll go slowly with ya.
