Corrales v Castillo III is NOT happening. Castillo did not make weight AGAIN! the first time in HISTORY was for C v C II. Corrales decided to do the fight anyway, to not disappoint the fans. well, Castillo won that one, and you had better believe it was because he was 4 pounds over the required weight. The weigh-in happened yesterday and Castillo was 4.5 pounds over the limit. what a fucking disgrace. All other fighters make weight. why couldn't Castillo? why couldn't Castillo just freakin' CALL Corrales and tell him he was a few pounds over. they could have agreed to meet at the same weight and all would be ok. I don't blame Corrales for cancelling.

What a disgrace. Castillo is a disgrace to the sport. He got fined last time for being over. This time he should be suspended for 2 years.

I know many of you aren't boxing fans, but those who are, chime in. I really want to know what you are thinking.

TALK ABOUT BULL$#!+. I HOPE EVERYBODY WHO ORDERED THE FIGHT ON PPV GETS A REFUND. I THOUGHT THEY DID A WEIGH-IN THE DAY BEFORE THE FIGHT, SO THAT WOULD GIVE THE BOXER A CHANCE TO GET THE WEIGHT DOWN BEFORE THE PREFIGHT WEIGH-IN.

the fight wasn't on ppv, just showtime, so people weren't out of funds, unless they actually went to the fight in vegas.

the way the weigh-in works is they are responsible for making it to the weight the day prior, in this case 135. there are no other weigh-ins that matter except that one. however, HBO does an unofficial weigh-in just before the fight just for shits and giggles.
