    Default Martin Castillo retires

    Just seen this on Fightnews.com (sorry there was no direct link)

    Martin Castillo retires!
    Fightnews.com

    Former super flyweight world champion Martin Castillo has retired from boxing, it was announced today by his longtime manager Frank Espinoza."We've talked numerous times over the last couple of weeks and Martin has concluded that this is the end of the line for him. He didn't feel like himself during the Montiel fight and is happy with what he has accomplished in the sport. As he put it 'I owe everything to boxing and I don't want to fight anymore if I can't go at a world class level.'" Castillo was stopped by Fernando Montiel in the fourth round on February 16, 2008 in a super flyweight title bout in which Montiel was defending his World Boxing Organization belt. The 31 year old Castillo, a native of Mexico City, finishes his career with a record of 33-2 with seventeen knockouts. He won the WBA super flyweight by defeating Alexander Munoz on December 3, 2004 in Laredo,Texas.

    Good to see that he knows when it's time to call it quits...some fighters just keep going out of stubborness and end up getting either hurt or hurting their legacy.

    He had the look when Montiel absolutly demolished him....Although Im still humbled at picking him to outbox Montiel .Whoop's. I hope that seeing as how he saw fit to do so ,that He actually Stays Retired.The 1st instinct can tell you much.

    I always enjoyed watching Castillo fight. I hate to see him go. But if he heart ain't in it no more. Than it is time to go.

    He looked so good the first time out versus Munoz, thought he was on his way to being a star but never looked quite that good again.

    Really surprised at this one...

    But hey! it's better to quit now then years later when it's OBVIOUS you should no longer be fighting.

    It takes a great a man to retire from a sport he loves so much, but it takes a even biggger man to STAY retired. Not many have done that but the ones that have walk away with a little more then the rest IMO.

    Happy retiring 'Gallito' and enjoy the view of your beautiful home off the hills of Hacienda Heights.
    Have a drink on me right next to your pool this summer.

    Sad to see him go, always one of my favorites. But if he thinks it time then its time. All the best to him in the future
