Are Castillo fans really celebrating the "victory" yesterday?

I'm kind of shocked that his fans could be low enough to consider this vengeance. He didn't beat Corrales within the rules because he didn't make weight. I will admit Corrales never could take a good strong punch, Junior Lightweight or Lightweight, but when you give the guy the advantage starting weight of 142 the day before the fight (Castillo admitted this in the postfight conference), then how can you expect it to be a level playing field? Castillo only had to gain about 5 more pounds where Corrales had to gain 12 to match him on fight night! Think about how much more weight Corrales is having to put on and what that is doing to his body compared to what Castillo is doing to his. That is not a fair playing field, I don't care what you know about boxing. You know the win was unjust and you can either call Corrales brave or stupid for taking the fight under those circumstances. I mean, if he calls it off, it makes it look like he's scared to fight, which is what ALL OF YOU CASTILLO FANS WOULD HAVE SAID, admit it. You'll take a victory anyway you can get it, and I think this is truly pathetic. Corrales is dumb for fighting, Castillo is a cheater for doing it. Fight yesterday doesn't mean shit, has no historical significance. Call it a moral victory if you will, but as far as true boxing fans are concerned, within the rules, Corrales 1, Castillo 0.

Castillo had a weight advantage the day before the fight. Do you know why they have weigh-ins the day before the fight, EvilSaint, you fucking newbie? Watch boxing a couple years and I'll have a conversation with you then, you fucking newbie. diego, ur in no position to say whos a newbie. this coming from the guy whos got karma redder than his dick after beating off. weight advantage? he was 138, a grand total of 3 lbs heavier than he should be! FUCKING WOW!!!! 3 lbs is like, you know, a ton in boxing! bitch, diego. its what you do and its what you are. you are in no position to say whos a newbie.

Each time someone presents convincing arguments as to why this fight doesn't mean much and/or shouldn't have happened, they get ignored or called a "fag" or a "whiner". Nice everyone, you should all seriously consider going into law school with those kinds of rhetorical skills.

yes go on i like it castillo made 137 with no effort (this is why he gained 1.5 pounds in 2 hours cos he was NOT starving his body), if you don't agree with that you are fucking newbie also not having to make 147 before the fight was actually a disadvantage for corrales, because he had more water than castillo, who had to weigh in at 147 and stay sharp. If you don't agree with that you are a fucking noob also, spitting out the mouthpiece to gain time is in the rules, that's why a point was deducted, and a DQ would not have been out of the question... I don't have to say that that if you don't agree with that you are a fucking noob BUT fighting after not making weight, when the other guy agrees to do so this is totally cheating, do you get it, fuckin' noob? ALSO don't listen to Corrales when he is giving credit to castillo! he does not what he is saying! Listen to Diegofuego and Iwatchboxing, they know what's going on! OK, noob? This is great! I am sorry for corrales, who has the heart of a champion, just like castillo, but some of his fans make his getting KTFOed out enjoyable some user called badblood just gave me bad karma for this post, instead of answering, which just goes to show...

JLC's victory is tainted more so than Corrales. Corrales dried out & went through hell make weight & JLC didn't do it so he wasn't as weak trying to make weight. People say that Corrales weighed more but that was water weight, not muscle. JLC had a distinct advantage by not having to kill himself to make weight unlike Chico & THAT gave him the advantage. If Chico would've pulled that weight thing like JLC just did everybody would be saying he's a cheater.

Fact is, Castillo didnt just cheat, but boxing cheated for him...Corrales did his own cheating in the ring like a man, Castilla had his "daddies" cheat for him (boxing nuthuggs Castillo among others).. My ignorance alert is going off. I'm just glad they're going to have a trilogy

Do any of you newbies know why they have a weigh-in the day before the fight? :rolleyes: So that boxers who drained themselves to make weight can recover. This is all done for the safety of the boxer as weighing in the day before stopped many fighters from getting injured and killed. BTW, Castillo was 2 pounds lighter than Diego when they entered the ring so what advantage are you talking about?

What a left hook that was to end the fight.............................. Thats the punch that would def. make Castillo feel proud when he will hang'em up.

DiegoFuego - get over it, take it like a man just like Diego did. I'm sure they'll do it one more time and make more $$$ - so stop bitching.

Well than maybe somebody should then enlighten us on how different bodytypes react to dehydration and dropping weight in a limited amount of time. In our case Corrales, being tall and lanky fighter, had a huge advantage over castillo in the game called "weight in day". For guys with bodytype of Corrales it is much easier to drop and gain weight than for guys like JLC. But it does not really matter, cause if Corrales did not make any excuses and did not brag about his lose, it does not really matter what his fans say.

What a left hook that was to end the fight................... Yeah it was a good shot. Proved a good point considering Corrales outweighed Castillo at fight time. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

Since when ko'ing somebody is a bullshit victory. Nobody said shit when Gatti was like 159 on a fight night, especially against that poor kid Gamacho. I'm gonna say this shit one time for all you dumbasses who don't see the reasoning behind having a weigh-in the day before. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU WEIGH FIGHT NIGHT. NEVER HAS. NOBODY IS COMPLAINING ABOUT THAT. The point is you have a weigh-in the day before. You both are 135. You have a little more than 24 hours to gain as much weight as you can. Logic says more weight, the better. So the point is Castillo had a 3-4 pound HEAD START OVER CORRALES. Gaining that much weight that fast is bad for your body, but Castillo got a better deal by having to go up less in the same time Corrales had to go up much more. Do you fucking idiots see the point yet or are you still too new to boxing to understand this? I mean, for Christ's sake, WHY DO YOU THINK THEY HAVE A WEIGH-IN THE DAY BEFORE THE FIGHT? Fucking Christ.

Corrales won within the rules. Castillo didn't. Accept it, kid. ur a fuckin idiot, diego. a fuckin idiot. if the ref deducts a point from you, thats sort of a clue that ur doing something thats illegal. castillo didnt get warned from the ref in either fight and i dont think a left hook to the head is illegal. Accept it, junior.
