The city of El Paso, Texas saw no controversies, no weight disputes, but a lack of leather being thrown in the ring. Jose Luis Castillo (53-7-1, 47KO) took a break from fighting Diego Corrales, and clashed with former Corrales sparring partner, Rolando Reyes (26-3-2, 16KO). The problem with the bout is Castillo decided to treat the former sparring partner of Corrales like a sparring partner, and fought the bout like a gym sparring session.
It appeared that Castillo was just using Reyes to get a workout, and he did not dispute the fact after the bout.
“This was a nice twelve round workout. I hope to fight again in April, and then hopefully the fight with Corrales happens in June;” said Castillo.
There was a lack of action in most rounds, Castillo jabbed, attacked the body along the ropes, but was clearly not interested in pushing the fight against an opponent that made a lackluster effort to score an upset.
“Reyes did not want to fight. He just came to get his paycheck and say he went 12 rounds with Jose Luis Castillo. I didn’t want to get cut, and wanted everything to go well, but when I went after him – he didn’t want to fight. What can I do?” [details]
