(May 10, 2006) Jose Luis Castillo has cut his calorie intake considerably in preparation for his WBC lightweight showdown with Diego Corrales, June 3, 2006 on SHOWTIME. Living and training in the mountain town of Temoaya, Mexico, Castillo is focused on making the division limit of 135 pounds.

CASTILLO: “Mornings I eat light: fruit, oatmeal, cereal. In the afternoon: fish, chicken breast, but small portions to avoid problems. Everyone knows I have trouble making weight; this is to avoid those problems.”

(May 10, 2006) Jose Luis Castillo, who began training in April, amps up his training regimen by running through the hills of Temoaya, Mexico, a mountain town more than an hour north of Mexico City with an altitude of 7,300 Ft.

CASTILLO: “I wake up at 7 in the morning, then we go running.”

“I’m more afraid of the scale than I am of Corrales. I don’t weigh myself very often.”
