This is very disappointing. I had a bad feelings...but in all reality, to call this 'disgraceful' is ******. Let's see you arm-chair QB's dehydrate to 135 lbs and fight at 155 the next night. Something is only disgraceful if it is purposely done. It's very obvious that Castillo just cannot make 135.
I still hope he tries to sweat out if he can and make 135. I don't know how he can do it though.
you are right this was not purposeful
he surely would have known that he was coming in too heavy at least a week ago
if castillo makes the weight and the fight happens, Corrales will win via TKO.
if castillo doesn't make the weight, it will be canceled.
However, if Corrales decides to fight anyway, he'll get knocked the **** out again unless he boxes.
i think your opinion and many others is totally wrong!
whatever happens will happen, and it won't have anything to do with one or the other being a couple pounds more or less!!
reality is that on fight night they are going to weigh different anyway!...so eg coralles might weigh 2 pounds less today, but he'll be perhaps 4 pounds more on fight night!...
what's the difference!?...its all nut huggers on this forum making excuses!...boxing is supposed to be a warrior's sport for f's sake!
ps....if the sport was fair, then why don't they weigh in an hour before the fight!!!!....if they are fighting for a 135lb title, they why are then weighing 150 when fighting!!...
as a castillo fan, i say tha fight should be cancelled. cmon jose, 5 ***en lbs over, thats emberassing and a joke. in a way its kool, cuz i didnt want my boi CHICO to get ko'd n ruin his career, but i wanted 2 see a good fight. hopefully castillo vs cotto still happens, im sure he could make 140(hope so)
he is just hoping that corrales is dumb enough to fight again,. that's all. he is a cheating ****, nobody put a gun to his head to take this fight, he wanted the fight, and it's a lightweight title fight, he himself has said all along that he could make weight. he is trying to pull a scam, he doesn't care about the wbc lightweight belt cause he would just vacate it right away anyway. he knows he is moving up after this fight anyway. but instead of insisting on a catchweight he tricks corrales into making 135 again to have an advantage

its not his fault he has been constipated for two days and is saunaphobic!
So who's fault is it that Castillo cant make weight? Thats right his own, If he could'nt make weight he should fight in another division, like light welterweight, why pick on guys smaller than him, cheated in the second fight and now cheating again, fine its not his fault, then why waste peoples money? I mean dude think about the tickets that have been sold for this fight and all the hype, think about the boxing fans that were excited to see a trilogy of Fight of the year 2005, to clear all the controversy in the first and second fight, and now we found out Castillo is 5 pounds heavier, last time he was 3 pounds this time 5, i mean its a shame. Again if someones at fault for the weight its Castillo himself, he should have though about it in the first place, and should have done something about it 1 week before the fight, not at the last moment.
Y'all just want to point a finger at someone, when the simple fact is this is no one's fault. Sure, Castillo belongs at 140. But the contract was signed for 135 and I'm sure Castillo really thought he could make it. He did not, and that sucks big time...but maybe he will sweat the weight off in the coming hours. They are giving him time to do so. If he has to sweat off 4 lbs like that right before a fight, then he may get his ass handed to him tomorrow for losing that extra energy. He missed weight and as a result he has to wait longer to start rehydrating again if he is going to make weight at all tonight.

because the pain one must put their body thru to make the weight limit is what will reduce your energy level
