    Any thoughts on this one? Castillo should have enough to beat tough Lujan, but will he take him out? JLC looks fairly shot to me.

    Hope he wins,he is shot and this kid Lujan is very tough but limited,maybe he can box him.He might try to break his ear off like Margo did

    Castillo was shot before the Hatton fight, and getting KTFO didn't help him.
    He's going to start to lose to guys like Lujan and it won't be pretty.

    I sort of suspect this too. Lujan is limited but it's possible he outworks Castillo. I'm not superstitious, but look at the spate of upsets on ESPN lately.

    This is going to be Castillo first fight at 147 so he should'nt have issues making weight.

    That's what people thought at 140, but he couldn't make weight there either.

    That'll be sad if he can't even make 147, I think he should retire altogether but I know he has financial issues so that is partly the reason he continues fighting.

    I'm not sure if it's still gonna be Lujan?
    I seen a schedule (DishTV) that has Castillo facing an opponent named
    Larnardo Tyner who is (19-1 11 KO's)

    That fight has been canceled because Tyner fights at 140 pound division and Castillo is no longer able to make that weight limit so thats why he'll be facing Lujan.

    Lanardo has fought at welter on more than 1 occasion... Lujan is a tough customer but I think Castillo will EEK it out... Lanardo would have been a better fight...
