Jose Luis Castillo?

Question

It looks like he's having big time weight problems again.............he needs to lose 7.5 lbs in 24 hours to make weight. I know it seems extreme, but this continues to happen with this guy............should/could a boxing commission step in institute severe penalties..........maybe even a suspension for not making weight consistently?? The penalties that they have in place now don't seem to be a deterrent for this guy and it's not really fair to his opponents who are busting their butts to make weight this whole time.........what do you guys think??

Answer 1

I think, he already have been fined before.

anyways, he should move on to heavier weights, where he can be able to do the weight.

Answer 2

Yes, he can possibly be suspended by not loosing the necessary weight in time, but suspension barely happens to a boxer (not unless the boxer is a cheater), but mostly the fights are canceled.

Answer 3

Who is signing him to fight at 140 lbs?  Man they must be stuck on stupid!  How many times must he fail to make the weight before they learn?  I am not in the least bit surprised.  Shame on you whoever set that fight up at that weight.

Answer 4

Well, he didn't make the weight and the fight is off.  He should not even be fighting at 140 because his body can't make it anymore.  I personally believe that he shouldn't be fighting period, but he needs the money and this is what he does for a living.  He should be suspended and fined because as you said, its not fair to his opponents who work their asses off in traning and when they get to the weigh-in, one day before the fight, they realize the fights off because he couldn't make weight.  Its not fair to the fighters, promoters, and most importantly the fans.
