Its a shame the fight is off... but you are all acting like Castillo tried to cheat and did it on purpose... his mind said he could make the weight and his body couldn't.

How many parts can you take out of a car before it won't move? You're all (too) emotional over this but you need to get clued up on what it's like for a man of Castillo's size to get that light... time after time after time... you can't do it for ever... if it was easy there would be no fat people in the world.

(no I'm not a castillo fan, barely know a thing about him, but when I see a fellow boxer being torn apart and called worse than shite by people who have expectations for him to meet that they don't understand I have to speak out... click away)
Your argument isn't relevant at all. The thing isn't about Castillo cheating or not. Castillo, deep down in his heart, knew he couldn't make that weight, he hasn't made 135 in more than a year, but HE F****** SIGNED THE CONTRACT!!! That's what everyone is mad about. So if so you said that you were gonna buy some underprivledged kids some computers, and then turned around and said that you just didn't have the money. Don't the kids have and parents have a right to be mad? The same principle applies here. He didn't live up to his word. Corrales loses out on the 1.2 million payday that be probably needs.
your argument is over simplified and ignores the facts I stated... if I came to my bank account and found it was empty how would I have lied? its not a lie if you beleive it's true.
So are you saying that Castillo shouldn't be punished? Boxing is trying to come back to the fore front and boxers not making weight doesn't help. When was the last time you saw a fight of this caliber called off because of weight. It's bullshit. You can defend this guy all you want, but you're not watching a great fight because Castillo's inability to live up to his word. TWICE IN A ROW!!! So how should boxing fans react smart guy? Boxing fans should be livid. And I'm tired of hearing talk about Castillo's inability to make weight, if it was so hard to make weight and that grueling, then he should have seriously thought about that before SIGNING THE CONTRACT!!! He shouldn't just get a free shot to try and make weight. People need to be held accountable for their word that what contracts are for. Corrales needs the money, Corrales is taller, Corrales drained himself for the fight too. Corrales made weight, how the fuck does Castillo deserve any sympathy.
