LOS ANGELES - One might say that promoter Bob Arum is leaving no stone unturned. He never wants to go through what he went through last June when his fighter, Jose Luis Castillo, came in way overweight for a scheduled challenge to Diego Corrales and his lightweight championship.

Corrales, of course, lost his title belt on the scales earlier this month when he, too, came in well over the 135-pound limit for what was supposed to be a title defense against Joel Casamayor; the fight took place anyway, and Casamayor won the belt with a split decision at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
