Re: Castillo needs to drop 2 lbs in 2 hours to make weight
I don't understand how this can happen. Granted, I'm no boxing expert but somebody should lose their job over this. Do they not have a scale in Castillo's camp?? Insane...
From ESPN:
LAS VEGAS -- Former two-time lightweight champion Jose Luis Castillo three times failed to make the 135-pound weight limit Friday, rendering his much anticipated rematch with champion Diego Corrales a non-title bout.
The fight will still go on Saturday night (Showtime PPV, 9 ET) at the Thomas & Mack Center but it will be a 12-round non-title fight. If Corrales loses, he retains his unified titles.
Castillo, who was drawn and appeared drained, weighed 137 pounds on his first try. Given two hours to make weight, he returned to the scale outside at Caesars Palace an hour later and weighed 138˝pounds. He was the same weight on his third attempt.
