Comments Thread For: Castillo Not Worried About Critics of Provodnikov Bout

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Fans frowned when they heard Jose Luis Castillo (66-12-1, 57 KOs), 40-years-old, was the likely opponent to face former WBO junior welterweight champion Ruslan Provodnikov on November 28th in Russia.

Castillo, once a feared world champion, knows he will be viewed as a huge underdog in the fight. Provodnikov attempted to secure other opponents, with bigger profiles, but he was unable to get them. Castillo was in action twice this year, against overmatched opponents, winning both times by TKO in five rounds. [Click Here To Read More]

Prime Castillo would whoop Ruslan's ass with ease, too. I really hope there's somehow enough left there to beat him now.

I don't know man, last time i saw him he was going to war with Ivan Popoka on a FNF undercard, smh.

Ridiculous fight. Castillo will be lifeless amongst the ropes, similar to how he was when Corrales almost killed him in the ring. It's goin to be brutal. I just pray to god he doesn't get seriously hurt.

I don't know how could a boxing commission explain sanctioning such a bout if anything were to happen to Castillo that night...
