I can understand the sentiment....but Castillo wanted this big money fight and all that goes along with it.....I think simply looking at him during the weigh in one can tell he has no extra weight to lose.

He is in his 30's now....completely different then trying to fight at weight where he was in his 20's.....His body has simply matured.....The first fight I'll give you that he simply didn't make weight because of training habits (and was always able in the past to simply "cut" weight right at the end...and found out he couldn't that time) -

This time I think he trained and drained....and there was simply no way for him to make the 135 limit.
