So that means he can fill D-Hops spot and fight Witter , shit Witter was in training I think, I wonder if Bradley could change gears and fight Witter on that Kats-Casa card.

That would be a great idea, but I guess it would all depend if Witter is still in training to fight D-Hop on March 22nd. Its a little soon and I know strategy plays a huge part in the fight game, but I doubt either guy wants to waste their training time. I hope this will come about, but with all the politics surrounding boxing I have my doubts.

I should be a promoter I immediately thought of this when JLC failed to make weight. Boxing News -- Fightnews.com : EkpVkZpAuAifMCTEfK
Good match if it gets signed, I don't see why either wouldn't want this fight.

I've said it before...if Castillo wants to keep fighting, he needs to become a 147 pound trial horse, like a Cosme Rivera. Sure, Castillo will get his butt kicked at 147, but he should be able to make weight, and he could make some halfway decent $$$ as a "name" opponent against 147 pound prospects.

Yeah true. Sad, but true.
