Final week of 2006

No fights for us this week, in fact, no fights for the next few weeks. A time for training and getting healthy. Also a time to decide if a couple of fighters are going to stay in the folds of my trust.

Lawrence McFarlane is not healing well at all. His health is still questionable, I am beginning to wonder if/when he will be fit again. At this rate it is going to be at least 6 months. The rest of the group is in a tweener time. Besides the two scheduled fights, the rest of the guys should be getting ready to fight in a few weeks time.

One big fight this week and that is a rematch for the former Welterweight champion Manuel Castillo. Castillo, 25-2-1(8), #3 is fighting Charles Norris. The two fought at the end of last year, with the fight ending in a draw. Norris is 37-2-1(19), and is ranked #11. Following his fight with Castillo he lost to De la Hoya, and won a TKO over Donovan Order. For Castillo, this fight was the springboard that he used to defeat Sugar Ray Leonard, only to lose the title to Wilfredo Benitez four months later. The bookies are favoring Castillo in the rematch. Odds on him to win are 4/6, while odds on Norris are 5/4. Castillo is in better shape and should get the win.
