Boo! I was going to bet on this one too. I have to make sure I have enough points in case I have to pay Seikan for the bet we made.

Yeah, I was definitely looking forward to this one. Is Castillo scared of this guy or what? It can't be that hard to make weight....it's their job!

I heard some people say that it's almost impossible for castillo to make 135 with his frame, that at 139.5 he looked as skinny as a rail. Why did he take this fight at this weight then?

He is a pro and knows what weight he can get to. This article on the fight that never was explains the Bowe-like work ethic.

That article only seems to prove my point even more..that he can't get down to 135!!

You are absolutely right. Just cant see how Castillo can get down to 135.

Yeah, you're probably right, but the commission--and boxing--would not continue to be defined by such failures if they tended to their own fields. The boxers and judges will cultivate boxing theory is not working. The rules are in place so that people can mitigate their losses, knowing that a fight will never occur.
