Castillejo comes in one pound overweight

In Chicago, Fernando Vargas weighed in at the junior middleweight limit of 154 pounds, but his opponent Javier Castillejo came in a pound heavy at 155. With Castillejo stripped of the WBC championship and the bout being shortened to a ten-rounder, the significance of Castillejo's weight is greatly reduced, but the contract still calls for both men to make 154.  Main Events representatives have informed Boxingtalk that Castillejo will attempt to shed the extra pound.
