It's no secret that in recent years JLC has been experiencing weight problems. He always fight around 150s on fight night, therefore his pretty much of a natural welter than anything else. His body has evolve naturally over the years that anytime he fight at lightweight he's forcing to make weight. His body size proves that(about same Cotto's size) He, like I pointed in other posts, have tremendous doses of experience. Not to mention his sparring partner days with great JC Chavez, he have faced levels of quality opponents that makes him comfortable to get self confident inside the ropes with any foe with relative ease. His chin and endurance is superb. The loses have come due to serious cuts (most of them product of headbuts) and Corrales got him out on his feets.
Castillo will not stand in front of Cotto waiting for him to come. Cotto is having trouble fighting in reverse; Jose Luis ko's instinct will smells Cotto's troubles and not gonna pass unnoticed if, let me say, a stunning left hook or right overhand makes Cotto accusing signs of trouble. He will go for the kill, what Corley or Torres didn't.
