    Can he make it 140 by tomorrow??

    Please, only serious discussion from those who know the ins and outs of rehydration, or those with serious questions

    No Castillo hate please (although I am a huge fan, I can certainly agree this is past the point of ridiculous and dangerous)?

    Fightnews is the source!

    I lost about the same amount in a day so I'd say with the right idea, he can do it

    depends on how hard he's BEEN trying to make it.

    if he hasnt already gotten into a sauna with a sweat suit and done some exercicse? then no question he can make the weight.

    if he's already done it all? probably not enough time left for what he'd need to do....and if hes already drained and does get down? he's gonna get hurt come fight night

    I'd say it depends on the situation. If he has already nearly killed himself to make 147.5, then I highly doubt he can go any further without doing some drastic like starving himself of any food or liquids. If he has not made weight due to poor training, then he can definitely squeeze out those pounds.

    All of our bodies can take but so much. If Castillo feels he can make it, i think it is b/c he didnt train as hard as he could or he is afraid to admit that he physicallly can't make it.

    didn't even clue in my mind..if he is 7.5 over and already drained then no..I've been only a few ounces over while being drained as **** and still couldnt lose a couple ounces from sitting in a sauna..some people forget how cruial just a few pounds can be.

    He's going to do more damage trying to make weight.

    He really should just fight at Welterweight. If he had 147 to work with, he'd be fine.

    Castillo would get brutally destroyed at welterweight. Look what Ricky Hatton did to him. Imagine what a welterweight puncher would do.
