Everyone is so hyped for this fight and talking about a rematch so how would you see the rematch playing out?
Personally I think that if Chico boxes him he could win by KO or at least a UD. If he goes inside it would be a coin flip...
I think Castillo will win the rematch if it ever happens. But I think Corrales might not to fight Castillo again, and go after Morrales Barrera Pacquaio Hatton Tzyu Cotto or unify the belts at Lightweight. Castillo should have used the uppercut more when they were inside, the times when he used it, it was very effective and opened up other things in his arsenal. Castillo's only drawback is he is a little bit chinny, but he recovers fast and knows how to take a knockdown.
Corrales is like Morales in alot of ways when you hurt him is when he turns it on and comes at you with all he has, and Castillo made the mistake of trying to finish him off without excercising proper caution and that is why he lost.
looks like joe gossen will not allow a rematch to happen
"They should never fight again," he said. "It's too much."

The public will demand it.There has to be rematch.
If not,Corrales would probably unify the titles.I honestly think Castillo's stock went up after this fight,and he's still gonna get big fights at 140 whether or not there is a rematch.
No way did Corrales beat Castillo at his own game. He definitely more than held his own but he was taking the far worse beating in the ring.
How can you say he took a far worse beating than Castillo? Castillo was the one who would've been seriously or permanently hurt if the ref didn't step in. I admit that Chico's face was fucked up, but did you see pics of Castillo after. His jaw is likely shattered!! ANyways, props to both fighters for giving us one of the greatest fights we've seen in a long time.
i say castillo all the way by stoppage arounf the 7-9th round in rematch..and it will happen because if it dont people will call corrales even more of a bitch and say he oly won because he took the mouth piece out (which is true).SO corrales will have to fight and he wil land will lose.
Corrales was bringing the fight inside. It was almost like he wanted to prove he could beat Castillo at his own game. And he did for the most part. He would fight inside and then step out and fire the left hook. Great strategy by Chico. Sometimes he would fight Castillo on the outside, which probably really confused Castillo. If Chico fought from the outside the whole fight, he might have beaten Castillo a whole lot worse. This is why I don't see a rematch as being a whole lot closer, because Chico will come into the fight even more familiar with what he needs to do to KO Castillo.

Ruiz clinches. But these two were inside fighting, not clinching. There may have been some clinching but thats coz neither fighter would give in. This was too exciting of a fight for clinching.
I'm not saying they were clinching the whole fight but you said there was no clinches and I just answered the way I did.

There was no clinching. And surprisingly, Corrales did perdy good fighting Castillo's fight. But Chico's step-back-left-hook from the inside fighting was what got Castillo seeing stars.
Next time, it won't be as exciting since Goosen is gonna be a bit more stern about boxing Castillo from a distance.
Clinching is when you hold on to a fighter and Corrales was holding on to Castillo's arms and Castillo was doing the same on the inside at times.
I just realized, watching the replay with my dad, that there was no CompuBox Stats. Im really dissapointed actually. I would love to know the number of punches thrown and landed... :(
this could be the best fight that i have ever seen. I need till Tito Wright next week to get over how good it was. I dont want to think about the re match until its offical. Plus Chico could move up its not a definite remtahc even though it would be yet another great fight. Respect to both fighthers. Great battle.
It would play out in the same way but with Castillo winning by stoppage. When Corrales boxed it didn't last too long because Castillo was able to get inside and Corrales would clinch him. Corrales would throw two or three punches behind the jab and then Castillo would be on the inside beating the body.
I personally think that this would be very similar to Barrera-Morales I and II. The first fight was not PPV and it was an all out war. The 2nd fight which was overhyped and had good PPV sales but it was more tactical.
Corrales and Castillo are now more aware of each other's power that I fear that we won't see the same fight as in the rematch. The good news is, Corrales and Castillo aren't as big names as Morales and Barrera and I expect the fight to be in regular Showtime.
If they go on a boxing match and not a war, it would be Castillo UD.
