Castro discharged from hospital!

By Scott Shaffer

Ex-world champion Jorge Castro cried tears of joy as he was discharged from an Argentine hospital one month after a car accident left him comatose and hooked up to an artificial respirator.  Still unable to walk, Castro addressed the press from a wheelchair and said he hoped to be back in his feet in about forty days. He also said it was his dream to return to the ring and he hoped to do so before the end of the year. source: boxeo-boxing
