castillo came in so overweight that he almost made the limit for the jr welter division at 139.5 lbs. but when he went to the weigh in, he was gaunt, glassy eyed, and so weak that he had to lay down before going onto the scale. even then, he was an eye-popping 139.5 lbs, thats 4.5 lbs more than he should have been. but he made a legitimate effort to shed the weight, going into the sauna for two more hours and not even losing an ounce.
when a guy comes onto the scales, hardly able to stand, and practically skin and bones, and STILL cannot make weight, that is a clear sign that he is not supposed to be in that weight class (lightweight).
castillo can no longer make the weight limit for the LW division. its not that hes trying to cheat, he just cant do it. would you blame jermain taylor if he couldnt make the weight for a fight with DLH at 154? taylor cant make that weight. and its obvious after several weigh-ins, that castillo cant make this weight either.
