http://www.notifight.com/artman/publ...cle_4698.shtml

Can any of my more knowledgeable latino brothers verify thats what the articl says?

José Luis Castillo dejó plantados a los oficiales de la Comisión de Box, Lucha Libre y Kick Boxing de Tijuana, que le esperaban en la tarde de ayer para el prepesaje de su combate por el título internacional superligero del Consejo Mundial de Boxeo contra el británico Ricky Hatton, a ventilarse el 23 de junio en Las Vegas. Durante más de 60 minutos, los señores Benjamín Rendón (comisionado), Leobardo Ibarra (tesorero) y Edmundo Hernández (secretario ejecutivo) aguardaron su presencia. De acuerdo con las reglas del CMB, un pugilista que disputa un cetro está obligado a presentarse a un prepesaje oficial 30 días antes del cotejo y no debe rebasar 10 por ciento sobre el tope de la división. Edmundo Hernández reportó que en repetidas ocasiones se buscó a Castillo o a sus apoderados, con nulos resultados. Las oficinas se cerraron a las 16:15 horas.

I tried to translate it heres what it sort of said :-\



Jose Luis Castle left planted the officials of the Commission of Box, Fight Libre and Kick Boxing de Tijuana, that hoped to him in afternoon of yesterday for the prepesaje of their combat by the super-light international title of the World-wide Council of Boxing against the Briton Ricky Hatton, to ventilate the 23 of June in Fertile valleys. For more than 60 minutes, the gentlemen Youngest child Rendón (commissioner), Leobardo Ibarra (treasurer) and Edmundo Hernandez (executive secretary) waited their presence. In agreement with the rules of the CMB, a pugilista that disputes a sceptre is forced to appear to an official prepesaje 30 days before I collate and it does not have to exceed 10 percents on the top of the division. Edmundo Hernandez reported that in repeated occasions it looked for Castle or its proxies, with null results. The offices were closed to 16:15 hours.

JLC left everyone dressed and ready for the ball. The officials of the Boxing, Wrestleing & Kick Boxing comission of TJ as they waited yesterday afternoon for his 30 day weigh in for his fight aginst Hatton, For over 1 hr. the people of the comission awaited. According to the WBC rules a fighter that will be disputing the WBC title is obligated to an official 30 day weigh in and he is not to weigh more then 10% over the limit of the division.

Thats a quick summary.....

Thanks Mick :coolclick: the translaters on the web suck :(

Not a probelm...


For the record all this weight issue and sh*t! that JLC is doing IMO, it's taking away from his career/credibility I mean look it just doesn't seem like his fit to be fighting he has issues making weight.

You think we will see another Corrales vs Castillo 3 moment ??

I think Hatton should sort a fighter who can step in at short notice because he does'nt want to end up without a fight

Well I don't know....
At 1st I was thinking we might see another JLC-Chico II moment but now that you mention III who knows....

If it's another III moment then IMO, JLC can just kiss his career good bye I mean I just don't see him making 147 thats for damn! sure and even if he did the WW's are some naturally big mutha' fu**ers they would tear up JLC.

Plus I don't think Hattons stupid enough to still fight him even at a catch weight or whatever... (non-title of course)

Does anybody know what happens now? Will the WBC postpone/ cancel the fight or just fine JLC? There could almost be the assumption he did not turn up as he is no where near 10% away from the Light-welter limit.

I think it'll be a non-title fight BUT it all depends on Hatton if he want's to go forth with the bout or not.

Unless theres a REALLY good explanation to why he didn't show and the WBC excuses his absense.

It will end up Hatton vs Forbes ;D

This is worrying.... :-\

I think Hatton will want to go ahead with it personally just coz of the way he is. He wants to prove himself as the best Britain has ever had so I can not see him backing out.

If he comes in heavy again he did it twice with Corrales if he does it with Hatton he should be fined and banned because he's just costing everybody money

No kidding, I hope that report isn't true.

Like I said AFTER THE SECOND CORRALES fight,JLC should have moved straight up to WW. I nailed that one ;D ;) He was killing himself making the 140 limit for that fight and it is evident here. Maybe they will fight at a catch weight? I honestly hope the fight is not cancelled!

Anyone know what happens in this situation? And what would you do if you were Hatton? Fight at a catch weight? FOrget the fight?

This is worrying though. What happened to Arums fwocking Velocity team which "helped" Morales and Cotto?

Here we go again. I love to watch JLC fight, but this is getting ridiculous. I'll reserve judgement until we know more. Hopefully, they can still salvage the situation. If this fight doesn't happen, I'll be highly dissappointed.

Agreed. This is not yet conclusive...

Lets see how things unravel...

Man, this is disappointing. If he's having problems making weight again it is just blatent disrespect and a shocking lack of professionalism from JLC. I think Hatton will still go forward with the fight if JLC can get close to 140, but I don't think he should, it's not fair to the fighter who drains him self physically and mentally to get to the weight (we all know Hatton has had issues regarding weight, though I don't think he's ever not made weight).

I may be in the minority here, but I think that would be a pretty good fight, and Forbes deserves a shot at someone after that bullshit decision he got against D-Hop.

What is worrying say they fought at catchweight so fight was not scrapped look what happened in second Corrales fight when Castillo was stronger.This is'nt fair Hatton is draining himself to make weight and Castillo would be more natural and he would be really strong like in the second Corrales fight.

just read on Ricks site he came in at 147 well up for it.

That is great! Lets hope this is the real-deal, and the fight is still on.

Only 7lbs to lose then and 20 odd days to do it good for Hatton ;)

What's the WBC got to do with this anyway?

I thought it was an IBO title fight are WBC anything to do with them?

yes he did ???

Thank F*** for that! Cheers for the info Starr

So they are both focused then this is good news for the boxing fans

Any word on how well the tickets are selling?

Personally, I think this would be more exciting if it were held in the UK as opposed to Vegas.
