Castillo at 147.5, must lose 7.5 lbs in 24 hrs

[Swice]

In an unusual occurrence, Jose Luis Castillo was invited by WBC President Jose Sulaiman to step to the scales after the heavyweights in advance of Friday's official weigh in for the lower-weight fighters. He tipped the Toledos at 147.5 pounds and will need to make 140 pounds by Friday's weigh in to qualify for the scheduled WBC super lightweight eliminator against undefeated WBC No. 1-ranked contender Timothy 'Desert Storm' Bradley.

I'm not an expert or anything, but 7.5 pounds is a lot to lose in 24 hours. If I'm the commision I'm looking for a replacement opponent or getting Bradley to agree to fight him at a higher weight. I just hope they are prepared for the likelihood that he won't be able to make weight and are not just hoping that he does.
