Jose Castillo vs Diego Corrales II

[ghetto passport]

I'm hearing that Corrales-Castillo will take place in September (or Corrales will be stripped). How do you guys see that fight going down?

Personally, I picked Corrales to win the first fight, and shortly after the fight I was confident he'd win a rematch if it were to happen.

However, my opinion has changed after watching how both fighters have reacted weeks after their fight. Castillo wants a rematch very, very bad and he doesn't seem to be mentally effected by "The War" at all.

Corrales on the other hand seems very reluctant to fight Castillo again, his people don't want to fight Castillo again, and I just don't feel Corrales will have the same motivation to endure the punishment in the rematch like he did the first time.

My pick: Castillo TKO10 Corrales

Like the first time I picked Castillo ko 10...

It should have been that way the first time.

in the first fight, corrales did what he had to do to guarantee the rematch is a pay per view megaevent.

2nd fight he'll box his ears off, but make it a good fight. think casamayor rematch.

There are too many folks out there that think if Diego just sits back and uses his jab the fight is going to be a cake walk...I promise you if Chico sits back and tries to box he may win a few rounds but like chico and Goosen decided upon before the first fight if you box Castillo early he will be a ****ing monster late.

A survey before the first fight amongst fans went something like 60-40 in favor of Corrales...do a survey now and it will most likely be reversed. As someone above put it....Diego does not no if he can take that same beating again and it is just another day at the office for JL Castillo

nobody said a cakewalk, but he could get a decision and take less punishment.

who said the fight's gonna happen

As a Corrales fan I am pretty confident that the rematch will happen. I also thought that Diego would be able to knockout Castillo in the first fight, and think that he would win by a wide unanimous decision in the rematch. Diego played to all of Castillo's strengths in the first fight, and not too many of his own. Despite this he was still able to out strategize and outwill Castillo for the knockout win. He will not make it nearly as hard on himself in a potential rematch and as a result it will not be as entertaining of a fight, but it will be a much smoother one for Diego. Neither guy will be hitting the deck this time, but it will be Diego winning the vast majority of the twelve rounds. Castillo does not have either the speed or the defense to compete with Corrales the boxer from the outside, and when he does get inside, Chico showed us he is capable of being effective there as well.

You have to be blind, or ******, to say Corrales would win a rematch. The ONLY reason he won is because of the mouthpiece bull**** he pulled. He would have been knocked the **** out had he not pulled that ****.

[NiGe2011]

I would say the fact that Castillo had his back on the ropes with his hands at his sides and his eyes rolled back into his head that had something to do with Corrales winning as well. That or managing to go toe to toe with Castillo for ten rounds with each guy trading their best shots. Or maybe getting up from two knockdowns at all and still having enough power not only to damage Castillo, but also to stop him. Or I suppose it could just be the mouthpiece that did all the rising from knockdowns, taking and throwing shots, and heaving unanswered power punches at the end of the 10'th round.

Corrales deserves a ton of credit for the stoppage of Castillo there is no doubt about that but the one thing that every Corrales fan should be able to agree upon is that after the second knockdown he was not prepared to fight after a 10 count...he just wasn't and he told the entire boxing world that loud and clear...sure he ws ready to fight 30+ seconds later but he knew that the 10 count was not enough time and that is why he did what he did.

If the same scenario were to happen in a rematch the ref would wave the fight off immediately.
