Dass ein Boxer sagt, er möchte wieder Weltmeister werden, hat wohl nichts damit zu tun, dass er "die Schnauze aufreist". Übrigens hat nur ein Boxer eine Schnauze, das ist die Hunderasse, beim Menschen nennt man das Mund.

BIO:
At the age of 17, Eliseo Castillo escaped from Cuba to the United States military base in Guantanamo Bay.
After spending five days on a raft with his brothers Eliecer and Eliades and two other friends, the group found their way to Panama. Soon thereafter, they returned to Guantanamo Bay. The entire process took 18 months. As a result, Castillo now lives and fights out of Miami.
Prior to coming to the U.S., Castillo attended the amateur boxing "school" in Cuba from the age of 12 until he was 16 years old. Despite winning the vast majority of his approximately 90 amateur bouts in Cuba, the young fighter could not manage to capture an international title.
Although he does not fight constantly, Castillo wins consistently. Since turning pro at age 20 in February 1996, Castillo has taken separate ring sabbaticals of nearly two years, one-and-one-half years and almost one year.
In 18 pro outings, Castillo has knocked out 78 percent of his opponents (14). The list of fighters who have gone the distance against him is as exclusive as the number of presidents on Mount Rushmore (four). In addition, the world has more living Popes (one) than boxers who have defeated Castillo (zero). After defecting from his home country, Castillo made his professional debut on Feb. 24, 1996, and scored a first-round TKO over Anthony Mack in Miami Beach, Fla. The young fighter then rolled through his next four opponents by knockout to finish his rookie campaign with a 5-0 record. Continuing to build on his early success, Castillo defeated each of his four 1997 opponents, including three by knockout.
Following a fourth-round TKO over Ed Mosley to open the 1998 season on May 2, Castillo recorded one of his best wins when he stopped Tyrone Armstead in the fifth round on June 7 from Miami. Five months later, Castillo saw his 11-bout winning streak come to an end when he fought to a 10-round draw against Terry Pitts (11-4-3 going in) on Nov. 13, 1998, in Miami. The judges scored the contest 95-93 Pitts, and 94-94 twice.
Although Pitts scored knockdowns in the fourth and fifth rounds, Castillo outboxed his opponent the remainder of the way to escape with a controversial draw.
After a nearly nine-month hiatus, Castillo returned to action on Aug. 7, 1999, and made Agustin Corpus appear lifeless by scoring a fifth-round TKO in Miami.
Resting on his one-bout unbeaten streak, Castillo stepped away from the ring for nearly three years.
Displaying no signs of rust upon his return, the Cuban brawler stopped Bill Medei in the opening round on June 22, 2002, from St. Thomas, Virgin Islands.
Less than four months after defeating Medei, Castillo went the distance for only the second time in 15 outings when he registered a four-round decision over Ron Smith on Oct. 13, 2002, in Choctaw, Miss. Following yet another lengthy hiatus (15 months), Castillo returned to earn his second consecutive decision by defeating Onebo Maxime on Jan. 16, 2004, in Minneapolis, Minn.
Two months later on March 26, 2004, Castillo stopped Curtis Taylor in the third frame from Miccosukee, Fla. The hard-hitting heavyweight dropped Taylor with a single looping right hand in the third round. Ten seconds later, Castillo ended matters when he sent his opponent to the canvas.
In his most recent outing on May 1, 2004, Castillo decked Drexie James twice in the opening round en route to a third-round knockout
Scheint auch ein Boxer zu sein, der richtig gut sein könnte wenn er öfter boxén und härter trainieren würde. Scheint ja ein typisches Problem der Cubaner zu sein, denn auch Diaz wirkte in seinem Kampf gegen Peter nicht sehr gut in Form.
