Final Prediction Castillo by late KO

Less then a half hour to go! I can't wait! YEP!Damn i've been waiting for this showdown for a longtime.The time has finally arrived. :boxing:

Less then a half hour to go! I can't wait!

I just watched Mayweather vs JLC 1 and 2 and I saw 1 as a pretty close fight. I think that JLC should have retained his belts, but I can also see why the judges had it for Mayweather (maybe not by their margines though). Floyd was very slick in most of the middle rounds. even if JLC had most of the later rounds. IMO, Mayweather did enough early to make it close. With the 2nd fight, I saw Mayweather out-boxing JLC well. No arguments with his win there. I honestly think that Mayweather would win 9 times out of 10 against JLC. JLC's got good defense nice in-fighting style, he loved to hug Mayweather with his left as he got some body shots in. But IMO, he's nothing spectacular, just a solid fighter. After watching Freitas-Corrales, I thought that Corrales fought a good methodical fight. It looked like he was just waiting and waiting, sorta like Ibeabuchi against Byrd, and Chico clocked him 3 rounds in a row. So now that I have a better idea of JLC's style. I really think this could be a close fight. I have a feeling that Chico's gonna be very patient, cause he knows he'll be able to find JLC in the later rounds. Problem is that we'll see if Chico can actually hurt JLC in the later rounds. I'm pretty sure there will be a few exchanges early. I really think Chico's more stable at 135. We'll see tomorrow night. I'd also like to see Chico use his jab more effectively. I think he'll need to be more active than he's been in the past to win some early rounds to have a chance to pull out a decision if it goes that far. I'm still going with Chico!

this could go either way corrales could punch castillo out and use his movement to fuck him up but castillo almost beat mayweather and showed hes no push over, yea i think he lost to casamyor but i think he has alot to prove since being douted

this is corrales's fight to lose. if he stands infront of castillo and goes toe to toe he's getting stopped, but if he uses his reach to jab and move like the second casamayor fight he'll win on points. castillo is much the stronger man but corrales is the better boxer. alot has been made of castillo's struggle with weight, but he still keeps making 135lb and always looks strong so i don't think it will be an issue here. corrales by decision. i agree with this... corrales will not stay in front of castillo. if he does, he'll be bombarded with those body shots! but i think corrales will have the whole ring to work with. corrales by late round KO

Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales are the names usually thrown around when the issue of great active Mexican fighters arises. Both have made their cases for Canastota. But it's WBC lightweight champ Jose Luis Castillo who most resembles Mexican icon Julio Cesar Chavez -- both in fighting style and demeanor. It was Castillo who spent years sparring with the multi-division champ, picking up some of the skills that made Chavez a god in his native land. Castillo didn't start out with a perfect record like Barrera and Morales -- instead learning his craft while suffering a few heartbreaking defeats. He has neither Barrera's power or Morales's boxing ability. No, Castillo has never been considered a great Mexican fighter. But that could all change when he meets Diego Corrales (7 p.m., Saturday, Showtime) in Las Vegas. Castillo, 52-6-1 (46 knockouts), has been on a tear as of late. He has dethroned three of the world's best lightweights in successive fights. Last June, he outpointed El Paso's Juan Lazcano to win the vacant WBC title. In December, he outfought slick former 130-pound champ Joel Casamayor. And, in March, he dominated former IBF champ Julio Diaz via 10th round knockout. And when you consider that Castillo won his first world title in 2000 in an upset of a then-prime-time Stevie Johnston, and provided possible pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather with the fight of his life in 2002 -- you realize that the Sonora, Mexico native is more than your average fighter. He's making a case for 135-pound greatness. And it will be assured if he gets by Corrales, 39-2 (32 knockouts). "Chico", the man After winning the IBF junior lightweight title in 1999, Corrales met Mayweather in '01 and was pummeled. The beating was so bad, that most experts didn't expect to hear from "Chico" again. But, after a stint in jail for domestic abuse, Corrales returned to the ring a new man. He and Casamayor engaged in one of the best fights of '03, and after a controversial TKO loss, Corrales came back to decision the Cuban in March '04. And that set up his biggest win to date. Corrales' clash with Brazil's Acelino Freitas last August was a superfight on paper -- and it lived up to expectations. Freitas took the early lead with constant movement, but Corrales countered with constant pressure. The payoff came in the 10th, when Freitas quit after absorbing Corrales's brutal power. Meanwhile, Freitas' considerable pop had little effect on the Sacramento fighter -- showing that this was a different Corrales than the one who fell to Mayweather in '01. Steady and ready When you have a contest of two highly-skilled practitioners, the result is usually dependent on subtleties. Simply Castillo has been more consistent than Corrales. Even in losses, Castillo has remained steady and focused. He has refused to let speed (Mayweather), power (Lazcano) or movement (Casamayor) deter him. That mental fortitude will be the difference in overcoming Corrales' huge physical advantages after a riveting 12-round war. Castillo by split decision.

Okay. Im back in the mood in talking about this fight. Corrales had better make a sound gameplan if he decides to have any fuking chance whatsoever. For one, Castillo is a better boxer. He can slip any straight punch that corrales throws. 1.) If you people have noticed...about Corrales. He throws really weak jabs. He uses them as a measuring stick, before throwing power shots. That will not cut it, especially when Castillo is a master of slipping, then landing the left hook. I figure JLC will get low, and land those shots flush on his face. Castillo gets hit...when he charges in. But dont make mistakes...and say he has no defense. Just watch the fuking Diaz and Lazcano fights, he does a decent job, attacking before getting hit. 2.) Corrales stands upright. He has trouble when someone gets in his face, like Floyd did. ALSO. If you did not notice....Freitas was boxing the entire fight against him. He respected his power way too much. If he would have been the least bit more brave, he would have won the fight by knockout. Go ahead and laugh. 3.) Castillo has no respect for Chico's power. He cant hurt him IMO. Castillo can dish it out, and take it. Corrales can dish it out, and can not take it. this fight has the makings of a clear mismatch, and spells D.O.O.M. for Corrales. He ducks, and slips punches in odd ways, while standing straight infront of his opponents. I am already looking past Corrales. Its time for him to rape Kostya Tszyu and become the best fighter on earth. Or "The Hitman" or whoever wins that meaningless fight to me. Lets not also forget......Corrales is a plodder. He likes to fight like a smaller guy, and is going to get physically manhandled just like he did when he tried to "exert his will" on Floyd. He bit off more than he could chew then.....and is biting off WAY MORE than he can chew with his fuking assasin. Floyd ran.....because he knew he would get knocked out cold by the better pure fighter. Floyd is my second favorite current champ.....but he is a weakling in comparison to this machine. I like the way jpboxer immediately responded to this thread following the Diaz fight, upon hearing of this potential matchup. Its time for war, and Corrales is going down via "smart bomb" Read this, and I am sure everyone has heard it already. Rest or no rest, Castillo seems ready to go. Perhaps buoyed by the March 5th win, Team Castillo, led by legendary promoter Bob Arum, are predicting their own knockout. As Castillo says, “Corrales is a very strong fighter, but he stands right in front of you. He cannot take a punch. It will be a knockout fight.” Castillo is certainly counting on using his fast-paced style to get inside on the taller Corrales and work to the body. He also has recent experience against top opposition, fighting higher caliber fighters while Corrales was taking on weaker competition to work his way back into contention. And unlike Corrales, who went down several times against Mayweather, Castillo has never gone down. Downsides? If Corrales can leverage his reach to do damage to Castillo’s face, Castillo’s propensity to get cut could be the fight decider – all of Castillo’s losses inside the distance have been due to excessive bleeding. In response to this badboy. Corrales better line his gloves with razor blades. That, or he must box from the outside, which he has never done, especially moving backwards. All his K.O. losses were from BLOOD. try and cut the new cyborg......LOL. Like I said, time heals wounds....and the new castillo has a "hardened armor shell" that is impenitrable to any attack. Especially from a skinny tard. I agree with that freitas comment, I still like him. earned my self 30million :) Knives we got a bet coming up next week bro.
