After viewing the Post fight press... Rematch unlikely

Morales is also tough as nails, and as I recall, he was significantly bigger than Barerra in their last fight.

I think the person that beats Corrales, picks him apart from the outside like Freitas did for about 6 rounds.

There are other fighters in the 135 division that could challenge Coralles, namely Juan Diaz.

Also, just like Jeff Lacy,, Coralles will be exciting even if he is fighting a mis-mandatory.

Corrales is about as hard a puncher as you will ever see in the lower weights, & he couldn't take Castillo off his feet. He could hurt him, but not drop him. Castillo has a head of pure iron.

i agree he has an iron chin, but i basically consider the fight as if corrales knocked him out...looking at the replay over and over, im convinced IF the referee had let it gone on, castillo would have soon slid down to the canvas, and not gotten up in time.

After looking at countless replays of that final round. I keep asking myself why didn't Castillo cover up after Corrales hurt him, or why didn't he tie Corrales up?

Because he knew one more shot would send Corrales into the canvas. He was trying to hit him with that left but Chico was faster and nailed him several times. In fact, Castillo had Chico almost against the ropes but Chico kept connecting.

"One more connect and Chico is done!" Castillo thought, like a true warrior. "One....More!"

BAM...BAM.....BAM....and into the ropes Castillo went. Too tired to raise his hands and too far to clinch Chico, he took another left hook and his head wobbled from side to side because he was so exhausted, even his neck muscles could barely hold his head straight.
