Official Jose Luis Castillo vs. Diego Corrales Thread

Corrales by spitting his mouth-piece out twice. http://www.fightkings.com/corralesdown.jpg

Is this fight I or II? Want to know before I vote.

Castillo 5 pounds over... SHIT!!!

I think JLC will win but i hope Deigo wins. Tough call, hopefully it will be a great fight.

Does anyone know if Castillo made the weight? Thanks in advance!

its on showtime but if you don't have access to showtime you can see it on ppv Really? I went on my channel guide a few days ago and scrolled a couple of days ahead to see if it was on PPV and I can almost swear I saw it there for like 29.95. But perhaps your right and its on regular Showtime and also PPV.

Also is this on PPV or just regular showtime? ( doesnt matter either way just need to know) its on showtime but if you don't have access to showtime you can see it on ppv

I believe its on PPV for 29.95 or something similar not the huge amount that DLH wanted for the Mayorga fight. thanks for the info, good k coming your way

anyone know what time the weigh in is at? I was thinking the same thing. The weight-in has just as much suspense as the fight itself.

usually at 3 PT.

Very intelligent commentary there - from Big Bummer and Godzhand too. Like the three of you, I see a stoppage around the 8-9th rounds. Keep pimpin'. I just figured out that bummer means cock in the U.K. *whistle* wankers

I wonder if part of the reason for this is purely NON boxing related. Meaning the wife beating incident of Corrales lost him alot of fans, love and respect. We all know the same happened after Kobe's rape charges. Its really sad but you just can't be blind to it. I don't think thats it, i think its all based on how the 2nd fight took place and corrales was unable to absorb punishment in their 2nd fight. as for the corrales incident, we may never know what truly happened. all i've heard are rumors.

People make mistakes, hopefully he learned his lesson from beating his wife, and for his sake, hopefully he never does it again. To be honest, that's why I dont cheer for him, although I dont cheer against him either, unless he's fighting one of my favorite fighters. He's a tremendous fighter with tons of heart, that made a mistake in life.

i did not expect this to be so lopsided. I wonder if part of the reason for this is purely NON boxing related. Meaning the wife beating incident of Corrales lost him alot of fans, love and respect.

i did not expect this to be so lopsided. Yeah, I didn't think it would've been this one sided either. I still have Corrales winning by KO or TKO between in round 9. Chico retains a lot of his power in the later rounds. I'm also not stupid and realize that Castillo winning is a very huge possibilty. However this is my prediction for Saturday. Castillo dropping weight hurts him more than Corrales dropping weight. I believe the the effects (i.e. lossing sharpness in punches and fluidity of combinations) of sucking weight will begin to show at about round 6 with Corrales taking more and more control in rounds 6 and 7. Castillo valiantly trys to mount an offensive in round 8 and wins a close round. In round 9 with Castillo fading Corrales drops Castillo twice (first KD is from a left hook right uppercut combination). Upon Castillo staggering after the second KD the ref stops the fight. :D ........well I could be wrong but hey I figured I'd give prophetizing a shot.

I'm going to go with JLC KO8 Corrales. Should be a great fight no matter who wins. Castillo via KO in somewhere like the 3RD
