The much anticipated rubber match between Diego Corrales and Jose Luis Castillo was called off when Castillo once again failed to make the lightweight limit. Castillo weighed in initially at 140 pounds even. A collective groan went up from the assembled press and Castillo seem resigned when he opted to weigh in a second time, exhaling and raising his arms in a pathetic attempt to manipulate the scales.
Corrales’ trainer Joe Goosen, along with promoter Gary Shaw, watched Castillo step on the scales and seemed to intuit even before the official reading that Castillo wouldn’t even be close. Goosen shook his head and Shaw gave a quick, angry glance in Castillo’s direction.
Diego then approached the scales, his taught body rope thin from draining down to the lightweight limit. Completely confident that he had made the weight the champion pumped his fist and chest and tipped in at 135 exactly. [details]
