What Counts Boxing remains the sport of the unexpected, where up is down, in is out, good is bad, black is white, all things being never quite equal. The latest boxing imbroglio, hot on the heels of the recent Mayweather-Judah mini-riot, concerns Jose Luis Castillo’s inability to make the 135 lb. lightweight limit for his rubber match with Diego Corrales. Castillo came in five lbs. overweight, a lot of extra baggage at that scale, and deep-sixed the fight and besmirched the sport in the process. But boxing has seen worse and will no doubt see worse again, yet the lynch mob demands that justice must be done. The money lost, the fans disappointed, the hearts broken, has to count for something, so what is the proper punishment for Jose Luis Castillo? |

Witter A Slapper, A Flapper (A Career In The Crapper?)
"Another upset! I keep making the right bet. I never thought for a moment that Witter was a good boxer or a hitter. He is just another slapper and a big-mouth flapper. In the hurt business, no word can hit you like a fist. He got knocked on his butt, and his words didn't cushion his fall. Hopefully, he will now shut up. More of today's boxers should learn the art of hurting, and cut out all this garbage of hyping. All the sightings of "Big Foot" and "UFOs" have been delusions, but these sightings of upsets in 2008 boxing are hard realities." ---TSS reader Radam is lovin' the upsets
