Martin Castillo - Jonathan Perez (Main Event) coming up next.

 

Time for Castillo to make a statement. If Castillo/Arce is made, they´ll probably start bleeding at the staredown.

 

Arum told me earlier in the week that if Castillo wins tonight and Arce in December, that they're most likely fighting each other in March, as part of a potential doubleheader with JCC Jr. - Alfonso Gomez

 

An awful long time from now for a 30 year old like Castillo.
