Immediate Rematch for Corrales vs Castillo might be ordered!!!

[tracylee]

You are completely wrong with this post !

"Chicken ****" ? The dude didn't quit ! He bought some time so he could keep fighting, knowing his punching power could be his savior.

You're just bitter.....& I really think some of the Mexican posters on here (I know you're not Mexican, Tracy) are reacting poorly.

NOt reacting poorly..just calling an injustice an injustice. Nothing more or less than that really.

It should have never reached that point. When Corrales spit it out to buy time, that was one thing. When he then PULLED it out to buy more time, he quit. Everybody knows that when a fighter pulls his own mouthpiece out in the middle of a fight that he's done, over. If Weeks had done his job and stopped it then, Castillo would have been the rightful winner and we all know it. But I guess I cant blame the wife beater..he was getting his ass handed to him after all, and after what, a possible 10-5 rd., he had to do something to make sure he won, so pull that piece out long enough to gather the scattered brains since 10 sec's alone clearly wasnt enough!

He played his part within the rules. And he used it to his advantage. Not everyone likes the strategy but Chico still had to get up and KO Castillo, despite the fact Castillo also had plenty of time to recuperate.

See, I dont consider Corrales the winner..Castillo clearly won that fight in the 10th...PERIOD. Tony Weeks should have his liscens taken for handing Corrales such a blantant victory..made me sick! Pretty chicken **** of Corrales to keep spitting (and pulling) out that mouth piece just to gain time to get his bearings back too. Crap like that is what gives the sport a bad name.

This is what I got after watching the fight 3 times.

The ref was not paying att. to Corrales's body language the first kd he threw his mouth piece out to buy more time and lets include the 15 seconds he got to get up off the canvas.Slow counts in boxing is nothing new so lets put that to the side.
The second kd comes and imediatly Corrales grabs his mouth piece and throws in on the floor like saying I quit! Any other ref stops this fight right then and there. If you pay att. to his body language Corrales cant take this any longer he is looking at the corner and said I cant, Joe was yelling for him to get up. He did got about 40 seconds to recover and Joe tells him something like Now you got to get out there and ........ dont remember right but that gave Corrales the last piece of strength he had to give it his all. It was a massive display of heart and balls by Corrales and guess what it payed off! Castillo is thinking this **** is in the bag and boom it was over!!! What a ****ing come back! That split second that ref had to decide if to stop the fight or give this guy the chances the other got and give him a standing 8 and he stops it. This fight will go down for the ages thats for sure. My favorite fighter lost but Im not bitter cause he gave a hell of a show. This fight landed both guys in the hospital, only that Castillo was ready to fight the rematch on Sunday and Corrales was being helped around cause the guy couldnt even walk on his own. That gives me impresion that Corrales and his peeps wont want to take rematch but the good thing is that money talks and he will have to take it.

I still would take my boy Castillo in the rematch and mark my words he will avenge this loss in brutal fashion.

I remember people critizing Freitas for being an *******,for spitting out his mouthpiece, well same goes for Corrales.Its smart on his part, but now i can kill him for doing it, twice.Again, props to Corrales, i hope he gives Castillo a rematch.

Exactly, any other ref. stops it when Chico pulls out his piece, giving the signal that he's done

recuperate from what knocking Corrales around the ring?

I think the bigger question should be why did Castillo stand there and leave himself open for Corrales to get so many shots in after the knockdowns? There was one point where Corrales was near the ropes and I swear it looked like Castillo was just begging to be hit. He looked like he was turned right towards him and didn't have his gloves up near his face and left himself so wide open. I mean, guy, you got a 10-6 round coming your way, why risk it by being foolish?

difference is that Corrales came back and won. He didn't quit. Corrales did the smart thing. The ref took a point away as he should have and Corrales came back to win. I don't see any controversy here. I was rooting for Castillo by the way. Castillo couldn't continue.

Because he was stunned and out of it. That is sign of when a guy is stunned and out of it when he drops his hands stops protecting himself. Boxing basics

He got overly agressive in trying to finish Corrales and its a known fact that fighters are dangerous when they are hurt and Castillo did not excerise the proper caution in his attempt to finish Corrales that is why he lost, its part of the game.

Thats a good point too, but I'll be honest here...Jabs is right, I am bitter, as hell! After watching the ref (what looked like 'babying' Corrales) give Chico the time to recover after pulling out his piece I was seeing red anyway. I couldnt believe he let the fight continue. I kept thinking "whats he gotta do? walk up to you and say I QUIT?"!!!!!
