No crime no foul?
What do you think that they have weight classes for?
Also...no crime no foul? Have one of your team members stick his toe under the scale to help you out because they knew you wouldn't be able to make the weight...no harm no foul.
Sorry...but F*** Castillo. Two times.
I'm with Tybuff...Vegas & the fans & the networks lost a shitload over his no crime no foul.
He's a prick. Bottom line. He should be suspended & fined.
Sweet bro I know what your saying, but it wasn't Castillo who said no to fighting. I know what weight classes are for but people make to much outta the weight difference. Walker & Greb used to fight heavyweights! Corrales should have gone on with the fight but made a condition that Castillo could not gain more than so many pounds before fight time. Sure everyone missed out but Castillo was willing to fight!!! A fine I'm happy with a suspention is crap. He didn't break no laws, just didn't make weight.
If weight doesnt make a difference then why have weight classes at all? Typically 2 or 3 lbs wont make a difference, but the difference here is that we are talking about two people totally drained of all substanance to get to a certain weight. I believe that at that point 2 or 3 lbs does make a difference. IMO.
