Castillo's in trouble, Weeks steps in, and the fight...is...over!

[Kimmy]

I have to agree with wmute, this topic has been beaten to death, and neither side is going to agree with the other. I agree with you too...I think just about anybody would say that had chico won, the wt. wouldnt be an issue at all. I've debated this probably more than any other topic in the past 2 yr's, and still think that being a lb. or two over the limit is NORMAL, but what diego pulled, well, that was a new one to me. The blantant spitting/pulling of the mouthpiece, and the outrageous amount of recovery time it gained him....not to mention how it affected the end of the fight...beats the hell out of coming in over a lb.

Agreed! debate closed. ( incidently, i pick Corrales on points in fight 3 ).

again 2 pounds

at the time of the weigh in

137 castillo
135 corrales

later

138.5 castillo
??? corrales

Corrales did not have to weigh in, and rightfully so. BUT it does not make sense to compare the weight of castillo taken at a different time then when taken with corrales. Given Corrales was 149 by fight night, he was surely more than 135 when Castillo weighted in 138.5.

would you say corrales was overweight? no
would you say corrales did not weigh in? no
then don't say castillo weighed in at 138.5

Actually they stopped weighting him once they got upto 137lbs because it was obvious he didn't make weight. He went to lose weight and then they weighted him to see what his real weight was because no matter what it was gonna have to be is "official" weight if they fight went on. When they did this he was weight in at 138.5lbs.

What the hell do you think that they actually weighted him at 137lbs on the nose and he went to go eat ? No they stopped weighting him. Check out articles written the night before the fight and not articles summarizing the whole thing. Those articles get into more detail about the weight in.
