WBC orders Castillo-Corrales rematch

[The Pretender]

His head knocked back, eyes didnt roll back into his skull. I never said he wasn't defending himself, I said he wasn't asleep. When the fight was stopped his eyes were open and he was responding to the ref.

They should let the fighter hit the canvas before stopping the fight. Corrales hit him with 3 or 4 good shots before it was stopped, the ref could have breaked and asked him if he was good to continue or let him take a count.

Corrales wouldnt have even made it past that round if he didnt spit his mouthpiece to stop Castillo from finishing him.

Again that's the best pic I can find. I'm starting to wonder if you even saw the fight. His EYES ROLLED BACK INTO HIS SKULL AFTER THE LAST LEFT HOOK. I SPECIFICALLY watched out for that particular detail to see whether the fight was prematurely stopped or not, and guess what I saw it. Watch it again. Why the **** would I make **** up, I don't even like Corrales.

And no allowing a fighter to hit the canvas before stopping the fight is putting a fighters life in even greater danger. Ever see Cooney-Norton? That **** was ridiculously disturbing. When a fighter is DEFENSELESS, why wait till he goes down before stopping the fight? Why do corners throw in the towel? To SAVE these fighters from further punishment. Again, if Weeks would have waited for Castillo to go down, the latter would have gotten seriously seriously hurt.

Just watch the instant replay. mannn did you even see the fight?

Best picture I could find. I'd make an .gif but I don't know how. Chcio still punching, Castillo getting pummeled with his hands down.

Mooks there is no doubt that castillo was out and the ref stopped it at the right time, but the fact is that the fight shouldnt of gotten to that. They are complaining about the mouth piece scenario, had he not tooken so much time to recoup the fight would of been over. That I know of what Corrales did is not a part of boxing it is a way to work the system and is unfair to Castillo what he did.That is why WBC is calling a rematch and their should be one just on the fact that the fight was so even and it was one of the greatest fights ever. Why do think Barrera and Morrales have gone at it so many times, cause they are fights real fight fans want to see. I see the Corrales fans complaining that we dont need a rematch,Why? you think Corrales got lucky?

Yo BB, I was merely arguing the fact that it wasn't a premature stoppage. I don't know what would have been a fitting penalty other than the point being taken off. DQ? **** that would have been a foul way of ending a great fight. Chico used his head, dirty tactics and it worked. Do I condone it? No. Do I think he got lucky? Yeah somewhat. Caught Castillo with a left hook and hurt the guy when JLC thought he was finished. By the way, I'm picking Castillo to knock him out in a rematch. And a rematch is well deserved by Castillo. There SHOULD be one.

This post is right on. Pretender you're wrong. It was a correct stoppage. If it was anyones fault it was Castillo's for not going down. If he was only "****ed up" as you said he was then he would have been fighting back, defending himself, or taking a count. If you are conscious then you can defend yourself, he was definitely not conscious when he was being rocked like that, or at least not conscious in a sense.

I agree 100%, their is allways a problem. Mexicans cant seem to deal with defeat like everyone esle.

At least they don't retire after every defeat like little *******

Rgw WBC are haters, they want to kill Corrales, he should say **** it, box on the outside, and win easily on points.

Exactly,corrales did far better on the outside anyways,but he wanted to fight castillos fight,he fought the hard way that match.This is ****ed up though as much excitement as there was in the fight, I AM NOT lokking forward to seeing either of these guys come out of that ring ****ing dying,this is BS.You guys should respect these fighters for what they gave and not want to see them go thru that **** again man.

And what does any of your mumbling have to do with the stoppage?
Castillo was out on his feet and was not defending himself as Corrales was pounding on him.

Good Stoppage!

The Pretender..

Looks like everyone agrees, but you!

[vB Martin]

Out on his feet? You nuthuggers always say that **** which is a MYTH. Show me how its possible to be unconcious on your feet.

Your ******ity is once again displayed. Let's list the attributes that might contribute to being considered "out on your feet":

1. Eyes rolled back in head
2. Hands down, leaving you defenseless
3. Hard hitting opponent connecting at will
4. body slack and slumping aginst the ropes

The only way that the ref could have possibly given Castillo an 8 count was to have considered that the ropes were the only thing holding him up. I wouldn't have disagreed with that ruling had the ref made that judgement call any more than I disagree with the stoppage. Castillo was being brutalized, the ref had a split second to make a decision. He erred on the side of caution.

I guess, though, we can't expect too much from a man who proudly displays an avatar that has the 2 worst people ever to hold their respective positions.

As for the rematch, what is the time frame? I honestly don't think the fight should happen before November if it does happen. If it did, I would pay to see it, though I think that Corrales would definitely stay on the outside this time.
I lost a lot of respect for Castillo in his decision to go the ***** route in getting his belt back. He has acted like a spoiled child in his inability to accept defeat. Granted, Corrales may have purposely spit out his mouthpiece, but the point deduction was within the rules of the match, as was the stoppage.
