I checked with the commission report and we have it correct, 63.3

Various reports had him at 146.5... including ESPN.

Perhaps the commission is incorrect?

perhaps they are but they're the ones we have to go by

If they had his weight at 43.3kg.. would you accept that as well?? Wrong is wrong.

Now that I've got your attention, can we look into the zapper and why it zaps entire threads? :)

I imagine its a SQL job, if you need help with that just let me know :)

John takes the time out to verify your request and U repay him with sarcasm?

We don’t take hearsay;
I don’t think Mark Vester was there and his article is a rewrite of data taken from
BoxNoticias http://boxnoticias.com/?p=4638, a Mexican promotional page similar
to FightNews. Both pages (And most of the mainstream media) get the majority of
their info from press releases put by the promoter’s publicist. Box Rec takes it a step
further and locks the result with the corrections from the sanctioning commission to
make it "official".

The only way to get the information changed afterward is for the commission to
send an addendum with the correction.

It was a serious question. No sarcasm involved. If the commission provided something with an egregious error, would it be input into the system, or would there be a follow-up? Various sources reported this as a Welterweight fight. Castillo is being looked at as a potential opponent for Margarito, a Welterweight. Why would Castillo be at his lowest weight in years to fight a tuneup, giving up 5-6 pounds? It makes no sense.

I have a stack of follow-up enquires that I’m still waiting on, some are almost 3 yrs old.
But I make sure I’ve done the research and have concrete evidence before I challenge commission stats.
In my mind, U made your assumption on very limited information. Castillo weighed 140 for his
previous fight as well as the day in question which happen a month before the rumor U speak of. http://foro.univision.com/univision/boa ... ing&page=1
What makes no sense 2 me is that U would accept a publicist promo over the commission supervisor who weighed him.
