These guys walk around at about 160 anyway what are they doing fighting at 135. I just think a fine would have been sufficient.
Not making weight twice in a big fight like this TWICE is breaking the law of boxing. He deserves suspension, he didnt tell anyone he wasnt close to making weight. He robbed all of the peolpe of their money, the promoters got screwed...he deserves everything he gets.
I'm not saying he's blameless, just doesn't desreve to be suspended. Promoter's got screwed & allegedly lost money, I'm really sad for Aram & Shaw... not. Remember Corrales chose to call of the fight. I don't mean he should have gone ahead but he did have a choice.
I still think Corrales made the right call. He fullfilled his part of the contract and Castillo did not. I can only imagine how hard it would be to go through all of the weight loss and draining yourself to make a weight only to have your competitor not fulfill his part. If he cant make weight fine, dont sign the contract for that weight then. The point is this wasnt the first time Castillo was unable to make weight, he should have taken more accountability of himself and not signed the contract for that weight.
