Antonio Castillo is moving fast with 6 fights in 13 months. His losses seem linked to taking too little time between fights. He raised his record to 3-3 with a solid decision win over Kevin Rothacker in last November.
Comer's opponent is 5-0 as an amateur and fights at 170 and 185. He makes his pro debut at 155. Expect him to bring it.
John Antanitis returns to the cage after a 14 month hiatus with a 5-3 record. He's another one whose losses seem linked to shorts rests between fights.
