Serves him right.

He deserves it. Hes a professional and he knows the rules. He should of come in at the stipulated weight.

[TheEvilSaint]

if he couldnt make the weight, it should have been announced days before the official weigh in.

i still like castillo. hes tough, hes active, hes exciting, hes powerful, hes got a lot of heart, hes never been down, and he gave mayweather, corrales, and others the toughest fights of their careers. but i lost a ton of respect for him after the 3rd weigh in.

there was no excuse for that. his punishment is just.

agreed, hope he can still have a good career (after the suspension) but i honestly dont think he has much of a future at 140.
