Castillo Weighs in at 140; Fight Cancelled.

[p4pking]

I think you would need to be a little dillusional to have any comtempt for Corrales, should he choose not to go ahead with this fight(which he should do). I mean can you even imagine what it's like for him?? He could be in the best shape of his career, ready to put on the best performance of his career in hopes of lining up bigger fights... Now what... Risk this shit again? Why. Another bad thing is if it doesn't happen sure Castillo get's a slap on the wrist and no money or w/e, but he will probably still end up moving up to fight Cotto or Hatton... This is pretty much, or could be, Corrales peak oppourtunity, the pinnacle of his career... What can he do now, if it doesn't happen? IMO he would be very dumb to fight Hatton or Cotto, but he shouldn't have to because a win in this fight would have given him a HOF legacy as it is... What BS.

If he doesn't lose weight....the fight is off.

Promoter Bob Arum is furious at Castillo. "This is a complete disgrace," said Arum. "As far as I'm concerned, I do not represent him. If I was Corrales, I wouldn't fight him. This is a disgrace to the sport of boxing."

UPDATE: Castillo has two hours to lose two pounds. Period. The Nevada commission will not allow him to lose more, saying it is medically unsafe. If he can't lose two pounds, apparently there is no fight.

Oh he'll lose two pounds if that is all he has to do. Can you say LAXATIVES?

Laxatives or not...if this fight happens then...

Why do you think Castillo is pullin this shat AGAIN?

I don't think he's pulling anything. His body just can't make the weight. It's that simple. He should of never signed the contract to fight at lightweight. That's were Castillo is should get criticized for. He's had problems making weight for awhile now. He's just using excuses for the reason he can't make it. He needs to fuckin except the fact and move his ass to 140 where he fuckin belongs.

EJECT! FIGHT OFF.. NEXT

He used to be one of my favorite fighers. Ive just lost respect for him at this point. Hes too focused on his upcoming fight at Lt. welterweight with Cotto, that he could give a fook about Castillo. @sshole.

[amat]

That popped into my head just now. CC for pointing it out. He had Cotto on his mind and wasn't going to let Corrales possibly upset that. If karma exist, Castillo won't be fighting Cotto.

[Purist]

Simply put, he can't make the weight anymore, it's not his weihgt class anymore, losing the weight would just drain him and make him weaker. He shouldn't fight at 135 anymore because he can't make the weight. It's not his weight anymore, 140 is apparently. Simply put just as Corrales said that he knows Castillo can't make the weight anymore so he doubts there will be a fight he is right.

And whats with all these people saying Castillo is a cheater? If his body can't make weight anymore his body can't make weight anymore, simple as that. It's not like he WANTED to come in at 140 and have the right called off. He may have tried his hardest to make 135 and it didn't happen.

And for the record he should know that with that extra weight he could seriously injur Coralles who has been in a lot of wars already. If I was Coralles i wouldnt get in the ring with that discrace. One pound over is too many, but 5....thats ridiculous and unfair to Coralles, and the fans if he even has any left

[superheavyrhun]

How the hell does a guy as light as that come in five pounds over....It's one thing if Valuev comes in at 5 pounds over 23 stone, but when you're 2 or 3 % of your body weight over, then it would have been picked up days ago. Did he forget what day it was and have his six eggs, two packs of bacon pack of sausages and a whole black pudding by mistake. It's like 8 or 9 mice over the weight to put it into som,e bizarre perspective.

It is damn unprofessional, as well as being idiotic. If he's that much over the weight, he is going to know it, so to turn up, and act all surprised that he's over the weight won't wash with anyone. I think Corrales has every right to call it off, because even if the titles aren't on the line, it could still be an L in his column, and that extra weight could give Castillo the advantage.

What was Corrales' reaction when he weighed in 5 pounds over, I'd have gone nuts and attcked him on the scales. It's just so out of order its unbelievable.

He made 138 for Reyes. He couldn't make 139 for Corrales. He claimed he was at 139 on Monday, he weighed in at 140. He didn't report troubles in camp or concerns about making weight in camp, and lashed out against reporters because they kept asking. Well? Sorry. I'm usually the first to take a fighters side over out of the ring things, but I have 0 sympathy for Castillo. He gets everything he has coming to him.

Dan Rafeal just said Corrales is beside himself in his hotel room.
