Tone down the rhetoric, kids. Castillo is no more a cheater than anyone else. He cannot make 135 and that's obvious. He is trying though. Hell, if he was missing it on purpose he would already be hydrated up to 145 bynow instead of still at 139.5. It is plainly obvious he is still trying to make weight.
Did Castillo make a mistake by trying to fight at 135? Yes.
However, we must remember that this is not 'cheating'. Corrales' camp gets to decide if the fight goes on. It's not like they have to take it.
wouldnt it be great if carrales takes the fight, and ends up KOing a heavier castillo. It'd be the proudest moment of his career, and my boxing watching career.
Yeah, I wanted Castillo to win the third fight but now I'm just so pissed I hope he get KTFO, if the fight happens ofcourse.
