    JLC looked good tonight verses Ivan Paproca ( 15-1-0 Pre-Castillo fight ) on FNF. He really looked great early when he badly hurt him in Round 1 with left hooks and then another one of the left scored a KD late in RD 2 on my card giving him two 10-8s straight verses a solid opponent, Castillo continued to land the better shots throughout, although Paproca upped his workrate in the mid rounds, Castillo busted up his two eyes, looked a little like Pac-Margarito. very busted up the fight was stopped after RD 8.

    No, This isn't prime Castillo hypeheads, I can't even see him beating any of the titleholders at WW. Although I will say Castillo has looked like cow **** over the last few years, And this is prolly the best he has been in a while, Maybe he can beat a few quality opponents before retirement, But taking this nice win as a solid way to walk away is good with me too.

    So whats nexts for El Terrible Castillo? Poll on it's way.

    Hmmm... maybe a crossroads fight with recently KO'D Mike Jones? I was actually more impressed with his opponents' heart. The guy didn't give up.

    IF he can score a fight Vs. a champ so be it...
    Bailey & Paulie looking for a tune-up beware.

    Castillo probably has enough to beat Maidana... sadly on Maidana's part.

    That's his best chance at a major belt, yeah. But people are lining up to fight Paulie, nothing motivates fighters like a perceived weak beltholder.
