    I honestly don't give a **** about Castillo. I guess maybe I am defending him, but I couldn't care less about this fight, whether it happens or who wins. I just don't think because he failed to make weight that he didn't try or that he was cheating. The guy wants the money, so he tries to make the weight, but it's just not in the cards anymore. This is obviously bad press and horrible for boxing, because there are going to be a lot of angry fans. To me, this is an issue of how boxing monitors weight and how they allow fighters to drain themselves to make weight. This is a problem with boxing in general, and the industry needs to fix it.
    When was the last time someone failed to make weight? Besides CASTILLO's last fight. Exactly. Boxing just needs to get rid of Castillo.

      It doesn't happen too often, but Castillo is not the first fighter to fail to make his weight. This is just the first time it happened in a big draw fight, that I know of.

          He won't control anyone. Especially, now that other boxers know what he does, nobody will even want to fight a cheat.

                    Aaah ****. I bought food for my friends who were coming over to see the fight. What a ****ing waste of time, waste of opportunity to see a good fight.

                    Castillo should just move up to 140. At 135, who will he fight that he can't beat (Coralles is a question mark though). Barrera? Juarez? Freitas? Raheem? Those are easy pickings for him. He should go to 140, take on Cotto, Hatton, Mayweather, etc.

                      they should fight at light welter. im sure thats what diego weighs the night of a fight anyway so it wouldnt make a difference.
