"The latest call is that it looks like it's gong to happen," promoter Bob Arum told Fightnews.com regarding the March 5 lightweight unification between WBC king Jose Luis Castillo and WBO boss Chico Corrales. "Now everything is agreed to. Gary Shaw called me, James Prince just called me and it looks like it's going to happen." The Showtime-televised bout had been in doubt due to a squabble over finances.
does freitas have more power than castillo..
ive not seen either fighter.
just wondering cause alot of yall think chico will get koed
He wears u down like a prime JCC. Yes he hits hard especially to the body.He wasnt Chaves's sparring partner for nothing!Body punches will wear Chico down late ko for Castillo.
This is going to challenge Pacquiao-Morales for fight of the year. I'm going with Corrales in this one, if he boxes and jabs instead of slugs, he'll win easy. But Castillo's punch and chin will keep him in there all the way.
great fight, but for sum reason i dun see this one going to a knockout, i c a decision .or if it is a knockout i c castillo wining it. very close fight
gyz i dun hav showtime can u put it on a stream
Chico has the power but Castillo has never been dropped in his career. I can't see Chico being the first and, with Chico's chin, I'm betting on a TKO or UD for JLC.
chico needs to fight like the second casamayor fight, if he gets in a war with castillo he'll get stopped. with all the height and reach advantage he's got if he boxes behind the jab i can't see him losing. won't be as good a fight if he does this, though! he certainly is'nt ducking anyone is he? casamayor,freitas and now castillo in 1 year, all credit to chico for signing for these fights.
id like to see pbf come back down and fight chico. i think that it would be a different fight this time around with chico pulling off an upset.
Dude, you need to stop dreaming. Chico just isn't in PBF's league.
id like to see pbf come back down and fight chico. i think that it would be a different fight this time around with chico pulling off an upset.
Chico will never fight PBF, Floyd would tear him apart again, Diego hits the canvas every time he gets popped with a shot he does not see, Floyd would do the exact same thing to him and Diego's people know this which is why this fight will never happen a second time.
Castillo ko 10 in a brutal fight...I wannna bet!
I am so glad this fight is back on. Have they picked the venue yet. I hope it is at the Foxwoods in Connecticut. I was there when he fought Freitas and it was awesome!
