Castillo Weighs in at 140; Fight Cancelled.

Corrales promoter Gary Shaw announces that the fight is off. Castillo's promoter Bob Arum says he is "mortified and completely embarrassed. The SHOWTIME telecast will go on with IBF flyweight champion Vic Darchinyan vs Luis Maldonado as the main event.

Jose Luis Castillo has just weighed in at 140 or FIVE POUNDS above the lightweight limit. Corrales weighed in right at the 135 limit. After Corrales made weight, Castillo got on the scale again and weighed 139.5. Castillo now has two hours to lose two pounds. IF he can do that, Castillo will be given another two hours to lose the balance. At that point, they'll decide if we have a fight. Promoter Bob Arum has stated previously that Castillo was facing big penalties if he could not make weight. It is rumored he would forfeit 25% of his purse to Corrales. (More to come!!!)

Promoter Bob Arum is furious at Castillo. "This is a complete disgrace," said Arum. "As far as I'm concerned, I do not represent him. If I was Corrales, I wouldn't fight him. This is a disgrace to the sport of boxing."

UPDATE: Castillo has two hours to lose two pounds. Period. The Nevada commission will not allow him to lose more, saying it is medically unsafe. If he can't lose two pounds, apparently there is no fight.

What the fock?!?! This is ridiculous. What an unsportsmanlike act of Castillo. This is unbeleivable. He said yestarday he would have no trouble making the weight. What a joke.

This is not good, I can't understand why he would agree for a 3rd match if he can no longer make the light weight limit. If this fight dosen't happen Im gona be pissed off.

It's not off yet, but it looks it it will be. Castillo has no buisness trying to make 135 anymore. It's to much to ask from his body.

:o


:'(


:biting:

I can not believe this is happening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FFFFFFFFRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

CC, completely agree... Im a fan of Castillo but this is just low down dirty shit... IMO Corrales has grounds to file a civil action against him... Think about all the training and waiting on his part only for Castillo to now come in WAY overweight twice(not to mention that they actually let the fight continue the 2nd time without Castillo even coming close to the weight)... It's like he didnt even try to make weight, what a joke.... Utter BS, Im completely torn over what I would like to see happen as well... On the one hand I wan't the fight to go on because it could be a great one, on the other... Corrales has absolutely no reason to fight this guy, if he can't even show him the basic respect of ATTEMPTING to make weight. Fuk Castillo, he and his camp are a bit shady imo... Wonder whether they had a foot on the scale again this time... Maybe Castillo really weighs 160 ::**...

If it is to much to ask of his body then it should have been to much for him to put his name on the dotted line.

Thats fooking annoying!

Same. I mean, I wouldn't have been surprised if he came in a little overweight...but 5 lbs? Are you kidding me? He's 32, this is ridiculous. If I'm Corrales, the fight is off.

CC returned. Basically what I think.

noooo, tell me it's a bad dream, please let him make the weight,
please

The fight will probably go on, too much money to be made. When is the last time you saw a fight be cancelled over weight? Mayorga vs Jose Antonio Rivera comes to mind but that is about it. This will probably just end up being another "Non-Title, 12 round special attraction" Fukin Castillo. I like the guy a lot, but shat. This is the second time he has pulled this shat. He has been making lightweight for years now. All of a sudden it is just impossible for him to come close ? Yeah right.

another black eye for the sport. doesnt look good at all. gotten waaaayyy outta hand!

personally i don't care if it's a non-title special attraction, I just wanna see this fight!!
Been lookin forward to it all week

If I am Corrales I really have to think twice before going through with this fight if Castillo doesnt make weight. If he goes ahead, he is just going to get another beat down inside of 6 rounds. I wouldnt blame Corrales for going ahead, but imo its a stupid idea.

If he doesn't lose weight....the fight is off.

Why do you think Castillo is pullin this shat AGAIN?

That's fucking bullshit. I'm so sick of Castillo. He supposedly weighed in at 139 on Monday and he couldn't lose 4 pounds in 4 days. He's so fucking unprofessional. Castillo's camp wants to make Corrales look bad because people are gonna be disappointed because technically Corrales would be the one stopping the fight. I don't blame Diego one bit this time, in fact, he shouldn't fight Castillo this weekend, end of story. This is so much bullshit, if Castillo is killing himself this much and he still weighs 139.5, how the fuck is he gonna make 140 to fight Hatton. It's just so disgustly brazen and unprofessional. God damn.

It's intentional. It has to be. If he had an injury like he says he did last time then he would have communicated his problems to his promoter like he did last time. This is intentional, it has to be if Arum was taken by surprise like this. I'm all for bending the rules IN THE RING, but this is just a disgrace. Unbeleivable that a world class fighter like Castillo would do something like this.

And the Nevada commission says it's unsafe for Castillo to lose more then 2 lbs, WHAT ABOUT THE GUY WHO ACTUALLY MADE THE WEIGHT AND EXHAUSTED HIMSELF! Damn this is so unreal.

:coolclick: Right when I was excited about boxing again, Castillo pulls this shit. In fact, I could even see him weighing 136 or 137. I could deal with that because at least he lost pounds since Monday. But the mother fucker put on weight since Monday and barely made the light welterweight weight. Fuck this dude, Corrales should say fuck the fight and head straight to his lawyer's office and sue the shit out of Castillo.

so is it officially off?

CC returned. I found out that it wasn't PPV yestarday and got all excited. Now I barely even want to see the fight because Chico got jobbed.

No. Castillo has 2 hours to lose 2 pounds. No more, no less. If he doesn't, no fight.

Well...

*Update*
Jose Luis Castillo has failed to make weight again. For the second time today, Castillo weighed in at 140, then 139.5 after trying to sweat off the pounds for two hours. The ball is now in Diego Corrales' court whether he wants to fight or not. The bout would be a non-title affair like their second fight, in which Castillo also failed to make weight. Stay tuned...

Oh this is bullshit, i say castillo should lose all of his purse! He didnt even try, the fucking bastard. Now corrales is a warrior and will fight anyone and probably will fight an over weight castillo again but man he really shouldnt. Teach this guy a fucking lesson, come in over weight...lose millions of dollars. He knocked corrales out the first time with extra weight and now he hopes to do the same, rediculous! Unexcusable....fuck off castillo, move up in weight or lose the weight!

What does Corrales do? He is screwed basically. I mean this is a HUGE advantage for Castillo and while it would be a HUGE victory for Corrales, is it worth it? I don't think it is. I really don't. If Corrales denies Castillo the time of day then you won't hear a peep out of me. I would do it. It's so unfair that Corrales trains, he shows up game and ready to go but Castillo pulls this bullshit. I didn't want to say it but fuck Castillo. I love the way he fights but he crossed the line, and he crossed it by 5 pounds. That's an entire weight division!

Damn right mate! He said he was sick of people asking about his weight....well you didnt make it again so you better have on fucking good explanation! These a dirty tactics and if corrales says no to him then i dont think anyone should bitch coz this is down right fucked. Castillo needed to get a better diet going this time around, he said he had one....now this, unfuckingbelievable!

And last time, Corrales took the fight like a man and lost, then EVERYONE said Corrales was outclassed and picked him to lose this time around. People use the mouthpiece to counteract that. What Corrales was smart and he was punished accordingly. What Castillo is doing is cheating. It's immoral.

So say Corrales takes this fight...and gets knocked out. Will people pu an asterisk over this fight like they didn't last fight? History tells us they won't. Castillo needs to get lost. He doesn't deserve to be in the ring tomorrow night. He can weigh 138 for Rolando Reyes...but 140 for Diego Corrales? Something isn't right.

I think you would need to be a little dillusional to have any comtempt for Corrales, should he choose not to go ahead with this fight(which he should do). I mean can you even imagine what it's like for him?? He could be in the best shape of his career, ready to put on the best performance of his career in hopes of lining up bigger fights... Now what... Risk this shit again? Why. Another bad thing is if it doesn't happen sure Castillo get's a slap on the wrist and no money or w/e, but he will probably still end up moving up to fight Cotto or Hatton... This is pretty much, or could be, Corrales peak oppourtunity, the pinnacle of his career... What can he do now, if it doesn't happen? IMO he would be very dumb to fight Hatton or Cotto, but he shouldn't have to because a win in this fight would have given him a HOF legacy as it is... What BS.

I don't think he's pulling anything. His body just can't make the weight. It's that simple. He should of never signed the contract to fight at lightweight. That's were Castillo is should get criticized for. He's had problems making weight for awhile now. He's just using excuses for the reason he can't make it. He needs to fuckin except the fact and move his ass to 140 where he fuckin belongs.

you stupid cheating motha pharker castillo go get pharked you douche bag

Damn! I feel sorry for Corrales more than Castillo's. that is F*%$#d up. all that training all that preparation all the time commitment dedication determination for nothing. freaking sucks big time.

EJECT! FIGHT OFF.. NEXT

Fight is off.

5:25PM: Corrales promoter Gary Shaw announces that the fight is off. Castillo's promoter Bob Arum says he is "mortified and completely embarrassed. The SHOWTIME telecast will go on with IBF flyweight champion Vic Darchinyan vs Luis Maldonado as the main event.

He used to be one of my favorite fighers. Ive just lost respect for him at this point. Hes too focused on his upcoming fight at Lt. welterweight with Cotto, that he could give a fook about Castillo. @sshole.

That popped into my head just now. CC for pointing it out. He had Cotto on his mind and wasn't going to let Corrales possibly upset that. If karma exist, Castillo won't be fighting Cotto.
