Irving Castillo falls out of tournament final

Diego “Cuchis” Andrade (14-6-2, 1 KO) has replaced Irving Castillo (12-2, 8 KOs) in the June 2nd championship final of the inaugural “WCBS 4-Man Lightweight Tournament.” He'll face hometown hero Luis “Koreano” Torres (15-0, 10 KOs) at Palenque de la Expo in Obregón, Sonora, Mexico. Castillo reportedly suffered a torn bicep during training camp. The  ten-round Andrade-Torres bout will headline the June 2nd installment of RJJ Boxing on UFC Fight Pass.  
 
Andrade last fought on November 10th, in which he won a ten-round decision over Jose Rodriguez Villareal. Andrade’s most notable victories to date were decisions against 29-1-2 Jorge “Pilon” Lara and 16-4-1 Alex Reyes.
 
The 20 year-old Torres has been the tournament favorite since it was announced. He has become a regular fighter on UFC Fight Pass with this being his eighth appearance. A gifted all-around boxer, Torres is left-handed.
 
The Torres vs. Andrade fight, if needed, will have an “overtime” round to declare a winner in the event of a draw upon the conclusion of the scheduled distance. The World Boxing Council (WBC) sanctions the tournament, so the winner will receive a WBC world rating.
 
There are four other lightweight matches scheduled on this stacked card. In the co-feature, Bryan “Zam” Zamarripa (10-1, 3 KOs) takes on his unbeaten countryman, Yair Marmoleto Rojas (7-0-2, 5 KOs), in a scheduled eight-round bout...
 
Nineteen year-old Marco Cota Moreno (6-0, 4 KOs) returns tin a six-round match against Juna Leonel “La Vijola” Ortega Resendez (4-2-1, 2 KOs). Moreno was a decorated amateur boxer who had a 146-4 record, highlighted by five-Sonora State championship title-winning performances... and
 
In a four-rounder, Pedro Peninuri Borgaro (2-0, 1 KO) faces Hector Avila Lozano (1-0, 1 KO).
