Jose Castillo vs Diego Corrales II

[Mech.]

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

If the rematch ever happens,then Agreed.Its not gonna be easy but chico just needs to use his head alittle more.If he was able to do what he did after two knockdonws(yeah yeah motuhpiece blah blah,its still two ****ing knockdowns) i think hell get a solid UD ,i dont think hell ko castilo without fighting like he did the first time,which he wont,but he'll still rock him a few times.

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.

Oh definitally the spitting of the mouth guard played a factor there. I mean, anybody who says otherwise is simply and idiot. But, it was not just that is all that I wanted to point out. That and Diego fought the fight that people claimed would result in him getting KO'ed real quick if he did, and he still prevailed. It just seems to me like alot of Castillo fans refuse to accept the fact that the first fight was not just some freak accident and that these two guys are actually really evenly matched. The thing that stands out to me is that Diego won the fight when he fought it Castillo's way, I just think that he would have the advantage if he fought a style that was more suited to him. I don't think that Diego is going to "knock Castillo out in two rounds" or "frustrate him to the point of quiting" or anything like that, because Castillo is too good a fighter for that to be the case. I just think boxing would result in a less exciting fight, but one that was better suited to Chico.

The Second Time Around Diego Would Not Fight The Same Way That He Did The First Time. He Would Simply Use His Length And Out Box Jlc. If There Is A Second Fight I See Corrales Knocking Jlc Out In 11. Imo

My point is that the extra recouperation time aided him a lot. I don't think the same result would have come about had he not spit his mouthpiece. Yeah, it took a LOT to get up, but I think the stoppage would have been on the other side, had additional time to recover not been taken.

I am a JL guy all the way and I can definately admit that these guys are evenly matched, no doubt. I think the reason why myself and many other JL diehards have had a hard time with the outcome was the suddeness of it all. The fight was over, you could have gotten 10 million to 1 after the second knockdown and you still would not have taken Diego, the fight was over...and as I was celebrating it was over except my guy was the one being ko'd...I was in a state of shock.

If you are rooting for a fighter that you are at all passionate about and you watch a round like the tenth there is no way you are not going to have a few things to say when it is all over. I can't think of a tougher fight too watch your favorite fighter loose than this fight. So go easy on JL fans we are still licking our wounds and we like our boy JL just want to see it again! Lets hope All of the Corrale's fans and Diego himself want the same.

cheap tactic, but effective.

barrios used it against freitas, and failed.

freitas used it against corrales, and failed.

corrales used it against castillo, and was successful.

in one way its cheap, in another way, it shows the fighter is a warrior, because not many fighters will take a beating like that, and use cheap tactics to be able to get up and KEEP taking a beating, except in this case corrales came back.

[NiGe2011]

I have been trying to make that same point for a while, yeah the mouth guard helped-- but it did not cause Diego to do what he did. Skill and will power are what are mostly responsable for Diego's stunning knockout victory over Castillo. People get all up in arms about that incident, but they don't about Evander using his head, Bernard abusing the rules in close, Tito constantly going low, etc... I want a rematch of this fight because I think Diego will have an easier time (not easy, but easier) with Castillo and finally this case can be closed forever.

yea..lets just say this..if Diego didnt spit out his mouthpiece..he wouldnt of beaten the 10 count the second..thus..he loses..Castillo wins...but didnt happen that way..if the rematch happens..Castillo will win..via UD..but it wont happen..Corrales..is..AFRAID to fight Castillo again...terrified
