On the undercard of Maskaev/Peter. This could be an upset. Castillo looked shot to me against Hatton and you have to wonder if a strong, young kid like Bradley might be able to pull it off. I didn't see Castillo's last fight, so not entirely sure what he has left. Thoughts?
Yeah, Castillo looked shot against Hatton. But I have never seen Bradley in action, so I have no idea how good he is. Could someone tell me/us how good he is?
I've seen him on shobox and he's solid, very good boxer, physically strong, not a huge puncher but can hurt you. I could see him stopping Castillo late by attrition or taking a decision. Castillo just seems to me that after all his hard wars, he's ready to be take by a prospect like this.
Jose Luis Castillo is fighting an eliminator on Saturday. I'm afraid I have to repeat that the feel it's nonsense: JLC is fighting an eliminator on Saturday!!! The next big thing from the WBC and Jose Sulaiman is giving possible title opportunities (eliminators) to his people... no matter how bad they looked a few months ago. So if JLC will win Saturday, he'll be the MANDATORY for Witter... How awful...
I don´t know if that is so bad... JLC is almoust a legend, so he if evenyone has deserved a "second chance". Castillo has looked really bad only against Hatton... And Hatton is a really great champion at 140 pounds. So, I see no problem that Castillo is fighting a eliminator fight. At least he has to get a good win over unbeaten guy to get the mandatory status. WBC could had just given that status free right now...
Bradley sucks and is over rated. he is a lttle man with plenty of muscle that forces him to fight above his ideal weight class. he should fight at 135 tops for his size. he has been around the Souther Cali circuit for a while and eveyone is hyping him up. He is not a legit prospect. he has a chance here because Castillo looked horrible in making weight over the last few years. Bradley is a bum.
Bradley seems to be a better than average fighter but he's not in Hatton's league at all and I don't think he's really faced anyone who could be seen as a serious threat yet. He does have the youth and speed to possibly score a decision over Castillo. On the other hand I think Castillo might be too experienced, tough, and crafty for Bradley. Obviously Castillo has slipped and is on his last legs but I think he has enough in the tank to pull this one out. If not he should hang them up for good. Still I like JL Castillo in this one.
