He was the aggressor, got the bogus knockdown, did what he had to do. Casamayor just doesn't have enough to be champion. BTW, why aren't Darchinyan and Arce fighting. This would be a fight of the year guaranteed.....
it was a close fight but casamayor clearly won ....what hurt chico was the whole problem with making weight i feel that he was trying to pace himself because if he went all out he would be out of gas very early in the fight so it was about the 4 th. or 5th. rnd. before he started to do anything ....casamayor deserved the win he pressed the action and landed the better shots ..
i had Corrales narrowly winning (i think something like 115-112), i have no problem with Casamayor winning, but no way he won 116-111, that's a joke scorecard..
I had it 114-113 Corrales, but I will admit some bias in that after the hilarity of Casamayor crying about being fouled I found it harder to give him credit.
As for the KD, I scored as Legit because of the way it happeded. You can clearly see that Casamayor was TRYING to step on the foot of Corrales to anchor him for a straight left. Unfortunately he reached and got tagged right on the ear. The punch then slid across the back of his head, whch is why it looked "controversial".
I thought the first 3 rounds were key in scoring the fight because neither fighter really did enough to take the rounds, ao I absoutely have no dispute with Casamayor getting the nod.
I stayed home to watch these fights before I go out partying because it is my last night in Masachusetts before I move to Miami.
I thought Casamayor clearly won that fight. Corrales wasnt doing enough, and when he did finally do something he got all kinds of credit for it because it was just more than he was doing before that. Casamayor was tatooing Corrales with lefts all night long. I scored the fight 8 rounds to 4 for Casamayor and cant even see how someone had Corrales winning to be honest. The announcers made the fight seem closer than it was I thought. Beautiful performance by el cepillo.
I have to give Casamayor credit for taking this fight. A lot of was claiming hes washed up and has been fading lately. Then Corrales comes in over weight and he takes the fight anyway. Then he wins the fight. Props to Casamayor.
I also dont think Corrales should retire. He said he might, that he has to talk about it with his family. I would like to see how he does at 140 or 147.
I think Casamayor should fight David Diaz next. He said he wants to fight Barrera, that could be interesting. I have a feeling that might happen, Barrera going for the 135 belt.
Well im out people. Time to go party it up and then its off to Miami tomorrow.
PEACE

Casamayor did take the fight he called out Corrales
Now how the fuck did the judges had Casa winning by 5 points and the other one 3 points which included a bonus kd
because the judges, at least the press row pussies, were sympathetic to casamayor and the deal with the weigh-in.
either way, i'm some what used to bad scoring - which is not a good sign.
Casa definitely won that fight. The lefts were huge clean shots that won Casa a lot of rounds. Corrales just seemed to mosey around the ring and throw inside hooks. Not really the best way to win the fight.

are u kidding me CORRALES GOT SMOKED !!!
116-113 Casa(thats including the bullshit knockout)
close
It could have gone either way as stated but, Casamayor outworked him. I think there was some ring rust for Corrales he had to get himself acclimated in the first few rounds. Casamayor looks much, much more older than 35.

not CLEAR at all. it was a VERY close fight. i had corrales winning by 1 point. It was a close fight, and i could EASILY see either winning.
And stop saying who u thought won the fight like its a fact. its frustrating cause ur not right. It could have just as easily gone corrales's way. Hence the reason why corrales got the decision on one of the cards

You need you eyes checked if you think Corrales won. Casamayor clearly won this fight. Just like he did the first 2.
