2 lbs is easy. Was a wrestler in H.S. and did it all the time. The body is mostly water and if he shaves off that beard it'll be easy.

"If he fails to make the limit in that time, Castillo would be ineligible to take Corrales' WBC and WBO titles even with a victory in their fight Saturday. A Corrales loss would mean those titles would become vacant."

Sounds like the fight will happen whether or not he makes weight. The powers that be would lose way too much money if the fight was cancelled. If he doesn't make weight, though, he won't be able to claim the titles.

UPDATE: "Castillo's camp doctor Armando Barac has been suspended for slipping his foot under the scale in an attempt to lighten the load when Castillo stepped on the scale."
C'mon how funny is that, like no one would notice.

This weight problem will have nothing to do witht the action in the ring, shoot my guess Corrales is heavier once they enter the ring.

I would guess so. Fight will still happen, and perhaps this changes the odds ever so slightly, but I doubt any books return the wagers.

How could he not manage to lose 2 pounds in 2 hours?! Get him to run around for half an hour. What a loser, I hope he gets knocked out in the first round.
