Jose Castillo vs Diego Corrales II

[Zab Super Judah]

To say that is just ******, Corrales has never been afraid of anybody in his career and is not about to start being afraid now. He is not afraid of losing basically, he just wants to make big fights. I mean think about the guys he has fought!

Roberto Garcia, Derek Gainer, Angel Manfredy, Floyd Mayweather, Joel Casamayor (twice), Acelino Frietas, Jose Luis Castillo.

Find me one more active fighter with that kind of resume. The guy takes big fights, people who say that he is scared of anybody don't know what they are talking about.

corrales may not have been afraid of castillo before the fight..but now corrales seems to be worried about the type of punishment hes gonna have to take when he fights castillo again..theres no arguing that castillo vs corrales 2 would be the biggest pay day for corrales...when you look at corrales face from the 7 or 8th round on ..he looks like a man without confidence but he did pull off the victory..lets hope they fight again

Castillo wins by TKO 6. Corrales' spirit was left in the ring and he doesn't seem to have the same ambition Castillo does. Corrales will try and box him but Castillo will catch him, stun him, and drop him in the 6th.

It is wierd that Diego appears to want Zoo and not Castillo. I don't know if I buy that and I don't know if that fight will ever happen....Morales... forget it Arum is not ******....why can't we have a rematch of the greatest fight that I have ever seen?

9 times out of 10 a fighter will never take the same beating again in the ring...I have questions about Diego taking another beating to win but I have no questions about Castillo taking another beating...

I want to see the first fight so bad...

[ghetto passport]

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.

I think Corrales will definitely box more in the rematch. However, I wouldn't totally count Castillo out of a boxing match with Corrales. I know Chico has the reach and hand speed but Castillo is a crafty boxer himself.

who said the fight's gonna happen

Castillo did over on **********. He said he's now Corrales' mandatory and if Chico don't fight him he's getting stripped.

Truth be told... Corrales won the first fight fair and square. The mouth-piece issue is irrelavent and whoever uses that as an excuse is simply in denial.

I've seen plenty fighters throw out their mouthpiece and get extra time when hurt. Most recently Acelino Freitas did this when he fought Corrales. Did the extra time help Popo? Nope.

Bottom line: CORRALES KO'D CASTILLO in 10 of the best and most exciting rounds boxing has ever seen.

Good post,I agree with you about the beating.
Before the Corrales was mad dogging everyone and had a mad face on. By the fifth round he had a puppy dog face and was wondering how the hell ha was gonna get out of this one.
I highly doubt Corrales will fight the same and will lose late cause Castillo will do his thing. Remember Chico was told to jump on him early cause Castillo is monster in the late rounds, where I believe Chico would tire and eventually get knocked out.This rematch is still very close and I dont count Corrales out by any means.
I thought it was unfair what Diego had to do to win this fight,this is not a part of boxing imo.He needs to give Castillo the rematch,if he does beat him again then I will be convinced who the better man is.

For now... Corrales proved who the better man is. He fought Castillo's style and still won.

Please! It's not denial. I think that if it weren't for the extra 28 seconds Chico wouldn't have won that fight. I think it's wrong, but I don't consider it cheating, either. The blame doesn't lie on the ref, either, as he did what he was supposed to do. Nobody expected Chico to turn it around that quick, not even him.

However, in a rematch, I favor Castillo by TKO. Like I said before, Chico left his fight in the ring and won't be the same...ever! Just like Meldrick Taylor against JC Superstar. Chico will never be the same and won't go to war in a rematch (if he takes the fight, I think he might give up the belt and just move to 140 to avoid the fight).
