Jose Luis Castillo: "I am very excited that my wait is over and that I finally get a shot at Corrales. He is a very strong fighter, but he stands right in front of you. Corrales cannot take a punch. It will be a knockout fight, and I will win."
Diego Corrales: "I am not worried about the layoff. I give Castillo a lot of respect. He is one of the best fighters in boxing and at the top of the game. But I am on a mission to prove that I am the best lightweight in the world. I do not care how he chooses to fight me. I am going to do whatever I want to him."
i like this fight alot, both of these guys are at their repected peaks, and both have some time to be king of the hill, even after this one. but the fact of the matter is one is going to win and onw is going to lose, if the fight plays out with no BS happening. i like Corrales in this one, i think that this fight will be a defining moment in his career and i think he knows it too, and i also think that he will take his preparations to the extereme for this fight. Castillo is by far one of the toughest fighters i've seen, i mean, he basically mauled Diaz before ko'ing him in the 10th. he's a gritty fighter, and never stops working on the inside. the inside is where he does all of his work, hitting the body, working elbows in here and there, pushing of with his head, he's a dirty fighter, and thats how he breaks his opponent down. plus it doesn't hurt being one of Julio Ceasar Chavez's main sparring partners while coming up. i'm sure he learned a thing or two there. but i have to lean towards Corrales, cause of the style and the manner between both fighters. Castillo like to come forward, same with Corrales, but with the height of Chico and his good outside punching, Castillo is going to eat alot of big punches. shots that are going to hurt verses the shot he took against Diaz. also anyone who watches fights knows that Castillo is rough and fights dirty, and Corrales, i know watches tape on guys, so you know he's gonna be expecting to deal with it and proably get dirty himself, hopefully , out dirty him.
this fight will be a great battle, and i think is a pick'em kind of fight......i'm pulling for Corrales, but may the best man win!!!!!
My response to the Castillo quote:
What?!? A fighter that thinks he is going to win?!?! It must be true then! I mean the only other fighters who have said this are EVERY OTHER ONE EVER INVOLVED IN A FIGHT!
*yawn*-- wake me on fight night when this prelim shit is done with...
Sadly, there arent 6 Puerto Ricans on the P4P lists, as their are like 6 or 7 Mexican names on P4P lists today by biased people like you, I belive you guys are taking this too far with you puting Morales at #2, and having Castillo (who sucks) in there, you call discrimmination when obvoisly you are the majority, I dont "hug" on Puerto Rican fighters, your just "huging" the Mexican fighters, I dont underate whats not supposed to be rated, Castillo sucks.
Corrales KO 1
So me being the majority means i cant call discrimination? LOL!!! I didnt actually call discrimination by the way. Simply bias.
Why exactly does Castillo suck?
He destroyed Julio Diaz, was on his way to stopping Casamayor before the final bell saved him. Beat Lazcano to a bloody pulp. Arguably (and according to most people on this site, aka true boxing fans) beat Floyd Mayweather the first time. Only lost by decision in a rematch. So how exactly does he suck?
How about putting some points down?
Corrales KO 1
:eek: That might be a tad bit too early Watch. Castillo's chin is a "tad" bit better than that.

Dont give bad Karma or claim I only watch Trinidad if you dont want any back, sorry if claiming Castillo isnt a P4P'er hurt your feelings so much :rolleyes: , hmmmm, but its true.
LOL obviously you didnt get what i was saying, i could care less about the bad karma, I have enough good karma to keep me in the blue.
This is what i am saying and i will put it big and in capitals so that maybe you will be able to understand:
ITS FUNNY THAT YOU THINK HE IS IN P4P LISTS BECAUSE HE IS MEXICAN. WHILE ITS OBVIOUS YOU UNDERRATE HIM BECAUSE HE IS OR MORE LIKE BECAUSE HE IS NOT PUERTO RICAN.
Yep!, Jose you're right!
this guys under-rate and underestimate Castillo really bad!!!...
But that fight is coming soon, and then they will be sorry, just like they did last weekend when they were saying that Morales was going to lose...
Castillo will defeat Corrales, no doubt!, Corrales was down 5x against Mayweather, while Castillo won the first bout vs the same guy...
Casstillo beat:
Stevie Johnston http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=004968 by MD, than in a rematch they drawed.
Juan Lazcano-ranked now 7, KO'd stevie.
Julio Diaz-got KO'd 1st RD,another lost to Angel Manfredy, won no big names, ranked 8 http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=020149
Casamayor he got a gift.
Look at Castillos record, two UD's to Mayweather, and he was KO'D three times at Featherweight, and KO'd once at Superfeatherweight, should have another loss to Casa, only had a Mexican title, than his title now.
http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=008837
Why isnt Casamayor on the P4P lists? Or Corrales(higher?)Or POPO who went from Lightweight to Featherweight, to Lightweight only losing once.Hes a good fighter but there are others better, 7 losses/1 draw, all to the best fighters he faced, every weight he gets his ass kicked.
God your a jackass.
When Stevie Johnston fought Castillo Johnston was at the top of his game and considered top 10 p4p. That first fightwas Ring Magazines'"Upset Of The Year" thats how highly Stevie Johnston was thought of.
Trying to compare the Stevie Johnston who fought Castillo2x to the shell that Johnston was when he fought Lazcano just shows how little you know. You cant just look up something on Boxrec and try and pass it off as knowledge.
You also bring up him losing 2x to Floyd Mayweather. Again its painfully obvios you didn't watch the first Mayweather/Castillo fight cause if you did you would know that Castillo should have had that win.
Julio Diaz was also the IBF Champion at the time of his fight with Castillo. You say he lost to Manfredfy, but if you had actually seen the fight instead of just looking it up on Boxrec you would know Diaz was shamelessy robbed in that fight.
I love your constant contradictions. You bitch saying you though Cassamayor was robbed, but then dont make any mention of Castillo being robbed against Floyd.
Wonder why that is?
Sure, if you are honest, and a man of your word, we can make a sig, icon bet change for awhole month bet, do you agree?
I'm all for Corrales on this one.
naah.
I want to bet 1 million points. Down?
I like having control over my sig and avatar etc.... :)
and dude. I am of course a man of my word. Trust me.

Iwatchboxing, I think its funny you gave me bad karma and said the only reason Castillo is on people's p4p lists is because he is Mexican. Of all people you are telling me that ? :rolleyes:
Only a fool cant see how you underrate Castillo because he is NOT puerto rican. If he was you would be on your knees hugging those nuts like you do tito and anyone else thats PR.
Castillo lost three times out of four in his last big fights, how is he on the P4P lists?
Yeah, but two of those fights were against PBF, and some thought he won the first one. He also beat Casamayor and Diaz, tha's got to count for something.
Well, Pound for Pound he cuted so bad he got "TKOd" or whatever, still means that he hasnt dominated any weight hes been in, thats alot of cut losses, if he was a P4P boxer he would have defense against getting cut so much, or to avoid punches that open him up like that.
I see what you are saying. That is definitely Castillo's weakest facet. I would never rule out the possibility that he could be stopped by cuts. It has happened before. If you are saying Corrales will stop him on cuts,
or using the logic that he is "hittable" and Corrales has power:
Then you have every reason to believe that he will stop him.
I just feel differently. I see your reasoning though dude.

Looking at youre p4p list in your sig,I can understand why you would be bias against a true top notch p4p fighter like Castillo....Why would you put Toney and Corrales in your top10,and Winky in your top5 p4p?
Toney - Losses to Griffin and Jones.Won a close fight against Jirov,and gained alot of hype off his win against an old Holyfield.Not top10 p4p
Corrales - Got embarassed and ktfo by Mayweather.Went 1-1 against Casamayor,although some believe he lost the 2nd fight.Kayoed Freitas,who I felt was overrated because he had already been exposed by Jorge Barrios at 130lbs.Not top10 p4p
Wright - Lost to Vasquez in which he got KD 6times.Lost to Simon and Vargas. So basicly he's living off wins over a faded,undersized Shane Mosley.Plus,Mosley had been already exposed by Forrest who also defeated Sugar Shane twice. Not top5 p4p
It's official,your p4p clueless/ :D
and he was KO'D three times at Featherweight, and KO'd once at Superfeatherweight, .
You do know they were all result of a cut? right?
Technically speaking, yes they were knockouts. However not "real knockouts" IMO.

Well you seem heavily biased for Castillo, it would be much more understandable if he was ranked 9 on P4P only AFTER beating Corrales.
Castillo beat
Stevie Johnston
Cesar Bazan
Juan Lazcano
Joel Casamayor
Julio Diaz
You're more bias against Castillo,because you discredit his p4p status just because he had one close fight against Casamayor,in which you feel he lost.Take away Casamayor from that list,and that should still be enough to put him in the top10 p4p.And when he beats Corrales,that should definetly put him in the top5.
IwatchBoxing
Many fighters are badass than lose, doesnt mean winner gets on the P4P list.
Lazcano was a top3 Lightweight at the time he ran into Castillo.He wasn't just a badass,he was highly ranked and a very dangerous opponent.
IwatchBoxing
Casamayor was robbed, watch it again, and look at Casamayor.
Well,Castillo was robbed against Mayweather.What goes around comes around,biatch.....I had this fight even,but I can understand the judges giving it to Castillo who showed up in the championship rounds.
I think Chico's gonna stop Castillo. He's the only fighter in the lightweight division that has the power to make him back up. Castillo is only effective coming forward. Chico is the sharper puncher & I think his left hook will be the difference in this fight. Lazcano & Diaz were effective in landing the left hook frequently on Castillo but they didn't have the power to really hurt him, just buzz him. Chico has the power to end the fight.
Castillo has been stopped on more than 1 occasion before.
STOPPED BECAUSE OF FUCKING CUTS. NOT BECAUSE HE WAS HURT!
dammit. he has never been knocked down, or out legitimately.
{shouting} loosing patience with these blindfolded Corrales fans.
