Post fight - box-latino
Castillo lost by Technical knockout in the 10th round against Corrales in a Unification bout for the wbc-wbo belts.
"The Ref gave more than enough time to Corrales during both falls and he let him recuperate, but when he connected me i was hurt but not bad enough to stop the fight," Commented Castillo who was accompanied by his work team and the promotors Bob Arum and Fernando Beltran.
Before a big group of reporters Castillo showed his face with the markings of the great battle he had just been in.
"Without a doubt they are fighters-tricks but the ref gave Corrales about 15 seconds after every fall to replace the mouthpiece." Remember Castillo althought he added, "thats how boxing is, but im sad at the result"
Asked about a rematch, he smilingly said he would be ready for this sunday, causing smiles from the media that recognized the effort of the Mexican fighter.
At the conference it was informed the possibilty that the WBC would order an immidiate rematch. In case that Corrales doesnt accept, then he will stripped of the title so Castillo can fight for the vacant against the highest ranked contender.
Corrales couldnt walk,
For his part, Diego Corrales expressed that his opponent is a warrior of the ring "But i did what i had to do and thats how it went" Corrales left the post-fight press room helped by people of his team because he could hardly walk as a consequence of the punches that he received throughout the fight.
Who gives a F'k if he's a mutt or not my point is that they both come from similar backroudns and a lot of people are making this a race issue. Corrales had to resume to dirty tactics to pull off a win and does not deserve any praise. By the way the WBC has announced that they will order an IMMEDIATE REMATCH !!!
Dude does look mexican though, apparently i believe his mom is mexican, his step-dad was black.
well what was his real dad?
i dont think haven a black step dad qualifies u as being black
lol
id be shocked
cuz he def doesnt look pure mexican
he looks like hes got some sorta black in him
i don't think so homie. i think he is just another american mutt.
lol
thats what i thought first
but this is the second time ive heard someone say hes pure mexican
so now im confused
do i like him or not?
lmao
He was born in Columbia, South Carolina from mexican parents - I've followed his carreer -
corrales? um he was borne in Sacramento, CA, USA. in fact i don't even think he speaks spanish. he had a translator tell castillo what he was saying.
I dont think that was it at all. If you know anything about the type of fighter/man he is, you know that he wouldnt do something like that. The day I see him use those types of tatics to buy himself time to recover is the day I go into shock. Just dont think he'd do that.
Personally I dont think there should be a lot of controversy around this fight. I was pulliing for Castillo, simply because I dont like wife beaters. Corrales is a tough fighter and did what he felt he should do to stay in the fight, I hope there is a rematch simply because this fight was amazing.
Corrales has been quoted saying he is black,mexican,colombian,i dont know his ethnicity.
I been saying this for awhile, a rematch should be in order but i dont think Corrales will give him one unless the big money is there, which it will be since the public probably wants a rematch. :boxing:
Why the F'k do you have to make this about race ? Corrales is also Mexcian in case you didn't know - Finito just expressed his opinion and you know what I'll have to agree - When it comes down to it Corrales cheated.
Hey guys - I watched the fight in my hometown Mexicali on SKY Mexican Satellite and one of the commentators was Finito Lopez. Well to sum it all up he had Corrales winning the fight by 1 round up until the 10th and after the KO's he actually said that Corrales didn't have the heart of a True Champion but that of a coward for pulling stunts like that and that he should of been DQ'd.
Someone should tell Lopez to shut the f*ck up. How could he sit there & question the guy's heart ?
He took a vicious beating....& took out the mouthpiece as a way to BUY TIME (for the last time, you dopes!).....to get another shot at WINNING.
Lopez was a fantastic fighter, a great one. But he only said what he said because a Mexican came out on the short end.
Did he call Julio Cesar Chavez a coward for his cheap move against, & cheaper technical "victory" over, Frankie Randall ?
Or when Oscar DeLaHoya RIPPED OFF the public & bailed as soon as Hopkins turned up the heat ?

Just give me a damn rematch, i am a Castillo fan, and i feel there should be a rematch after this.Either that or i would welcome a fight with Morales or a rematch with Popo.
