Comparing Corrales-Castillo II to Nate's performance tonight

[lefthook2daliva]

If the Corrales-Castillo rematch told us anything, it's that you have a huge advantage when you don't get down to the weigh-in limit while your opponent does. Tonight's Campbell performance tells me he loses to Funeka tonight without those knockdowns, and those knockdowns are the result of one guy making weight and one guy not.

To go back to October 2005 before 3/4 of this forum followed boxing...

Corrales weighs in at 135, Castillo at 138.5...eerily similar to Funeka and Campbell's weights respectively. In Corrales-Castillo I, both guys weighed in at the 135lb limit and Castillo needed 10 rounds to finally put Corrales down. In the rematch, when he didn't kill himself to make 135, Castillo destroys Corrales with ease in 4 rounds...

The point is, I don't think there's any way Campbell drops Funeka if they both weigh in at 135 and thus doesn't win this fight. I'm just trying to show why I think this is nonsense that Nate is getting a free pass for not making weight simply because he's a nice guy that most of the boxing world likes. He got away with murder tonight, and I don't think he won the fight even with the KDs.

Oh well, let's stop complaining about weight and loaded gloves and let fighters do whatever they want from now on as long as they're nice guys. But don't worry, we'll make sure to bury Mayweather or Calzaghe if they ever come back and fail to make weight and end up winning a fight. We'll downright crucify those bastards.

You're tryin' to make sense out of a bunch of ****** shyt you said earlier based on the principle that lots and lots of nothing can sound like something.

"You gotta' know when to hold em' and know when to fold em' "

Cut your losses and move on...

nah, nate tried to make weight but he couldnt make 135 unless he cut off an arm.

imho nate struggled with funeka because he was trying to cut weight up to the very end

Corrales got caught with a punch he didn't see coming.

he was being absolutely destroyed before that. he staggered 3/4 of the way across the ring after a punch he took for 9 rounds in the first fight

That could also be because of the war he just went through... not just because of the weight...

but he stood up to Clottey's punches a lot longer than that and Clottey is enormous

does that work there?

i don't like campbell , not personally , but as a fighter.

i'm glad he embarassed himself.

i believe that the diaz win was a fluke.

now hopefully we'll see marquez-diaz winner get manny.

How is a round 12 decision a fluke.

I disagree. Corrales was SHOT after the Castillo fight, Castillo hit him with huge shots throughout the first fight and hurt him many times. Corrales went on further than he shoud've in the first fight and went to the edge. I think Corrales would've got knocked out either way. I don't think the weight had really that much to do however being that Castillo attempted to make the weight..

bad night for juan and/or bad matchup for juan.

before the nate fight i considered juan the best at 135 while casa the lineal champ.

didn't change for me when nate won.

everybody was all on his nuts because he had 3 belts but he didn't earn those 3 belts. juan fought 3 champs to get those belts and nate just beat 1 guy.
