Jose Luis Castillo set to spar with Manny Pacquiao

Jose-Luis-Castillo

By Zato

The 35 year old former lightweight Champion, Jose Luis Castillo of Mexico will be heading to Baguiao, Philippines to spar with Manny Pacquiao as a late replacement for Omar Henry who was considered a Cotto clone. Henry’s team could not come to an agreement with team pacquaio so Castillo was called in to fill the void. Shawn Porter and Urbano Antillon have already sparred 12 rounds with the Pacman, Urbano will be leaving for the U.S soon to acclimate for his up coming fight.

“If he’s not in shape I’ll send him home right away,” Roach told  The Philstar, Roach only wants competitive sparring for his fighter in prepartion for WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto of Caguas, Puerto Rico.  Castillo whose best days are behind him, was known for his  exciting war with the late Diego Corrales in which Castillo suffered a 10th round TKO loss in a back and forth battle.  Castillo is also known for his  controversial unanimous decision loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. a fight which many boxing fans believe Castillo had one. Pacquiao’s Baguiao training camp breaks on October 24, in which the Team will be flying back to Hollywood, California to finish off training.
