will this be the end for chico? many boxing writers are going with clottey and chico seems to be the overwhelming underdog in this one....im so nervous today man i can't wait to see chico in action hopefully proving many people wrong and showing that his power will carry him to another title.......WAR CHICO!!!
Yeah, it is definitely going to add yet another thing to the pile of problems that Diego faces coming into this fight. I am seriously dreading it more then looking forward to it, but he is a live dog.
Chico and Goosen had a dispute over him getting payed for the third Casamayor fight (it actually seems like Diego is in the wrong on this one, but who knows from the outside looking in?) so Diego is going back to a trainer he worked with earlier in his career (NOT his father, who I am assuming is still on ice because he stopped the Mayweather fight).
that makes it more tricky because he got a new trainer and new routine and different training methods yes he is a vetran but in a sitaution like going to the next class with a loss at last fight there is too much pressure to preform well and not break the routine of training but adapte it

I get the impression that alot of fight fans have only seen Clottey in action against Margarito, and judge him based on that alone. And while that is an example of the best of Clottey, I've also seen the worst of Joshua Clottey (both live and on TV) One thing that I've seen Clottey do is disappear behind his guard, be inactive, only occasionally fire a jab, and pretty much just allow the rounds to tick away while he got banged around, only opening up once or twice to throw a combo. Now fortunately for him, these fights were against pretty sub par fighters and those couple bursts of energy were enough to scrape out too close decisions. Unfortunately for him, these fights were against pretty sub par fighters and he should have been able to blow them out, and this is when he had two healthy hands!
Moral of this little story? Sure Clottey might blast Chico and look great. But it is also possible that team Corrales saw something we didn't and will come out of this fight looking stupid like a fox. (Although the absence of Joe Goosen is not going to help things)
Joe Goosen is no in with Corrales corner? then who it is ?

Well its not the best idea to just stand in a shell and takes shots from a fighter like Chico. Maybe the fact that he came in at 151 originally means hes taking him lightly... Well Ill be rooting for Chico but I would put money on Clottey..
Yeah hes different than Mayweather but hes at least as good as Popo.
But that would be a fun fight! Margarito vs Chico... Both power punchers with bad defense. Just cause of this possible fight I want Chico to win now

Mayweather is different than Clottey as visa versa goes that too.
Anyway what happen if Chico dominated or KOed Clottey what would it make Margarito look like? Will it make Margarito look bad more than it will make Chico look good?

I think he gonna get out boxed. If Freitas could do it before he gassed why not Clottey. I think if Clottey decides to box with some pop he'll do what Mayweather did.

He has given us some great fights over the years. So I hope he wins tonight. He might have chosen the wrong opponent for his Welterweight debut, but Chico never backs down. If he loses he might have to consider different options for himself, but I hope not.
There is no shame in Losing to a guy like Clottey.
Clottey is as humble, classey, and skilled as they come.
But i think Corrales wins. I've heard a lot of experts agree with me, that Diegos power will move up with him, and that his chin will be a lot better.
BUT, Thos same experts say that its impossible to hurt Clottey, and it wont matter how much power Corrales has.
i disagree with that
I cant wait I have a feeling this fights going too be a good one, chico knows he's got too win too keep his career on track its put up or shut up go retire
