Article on DIEGO CORRALES

[Mech.]

Im not defending Corrales, and am more of a Castillo fan. All I am pointing out is:

1.) He took the mouthpiece out and fumbled it with his gloves because he could not grip it.

2.) He spit the mouthpiece out, and was deducted 1 point in doing so, which gave JLC the lead on the cards big time in coalition with the two knockdowns.

3.) He knocked JLC out cold and would have killed him if the ref did not step in.

Exactly,this is what I call common sense,I'd give you more karma if i could,I wasnt much of a corrales fan before this,but i was sold on him after their fight.

Furthermore,castillo put up a great fight,but i dont think he can beat corrales,IMO Corrales won the first fight legit,unless corrales is really ****ed up from the first match,wich i doubt,he wins the rematch without taking so much punishment as he did the first time around.

Why dont you ever mention the knockdowns Castillo had on Corrales?Or maybe the fact that Chico was a split second away from being counted out?When will the ignorance end.

No one from 135 to 140 will have an easy fight with Castillo,whether it's knocking him out or beating him on points.Mayweather could barely beat Castillo on points and Chico had to go through hell to KO Castillo.I'l say it now,Corrales get's KTFO in the rematch.

Dammit JP,dont you ever get tired of being wrong,Pac,Glenn,Castillo,youre on a roll man.

this is why we needa rematch

WTF you talking about?Corrales has always been a inside fighter.Sure,he's shown the ability to jab and box from the outside,but he's most comfortable fighting on the inside.It's just Castillo is one of the few that's willing to stay inside and exchange with Chico.


Chico knows he cant **** with Castillo on the inside,or else it'l be the same type of fight as it was the first time around.He'l try boxing but that wont last a round,because Castillo is one of the best at getting on the inside,and frustrating his opponents..Castillo will time his lefthook better against Corrales's clumsy defense and KO him.Easy fight for Castillo.

If this fight is so easy for Castillo then why did he lose the first one? Corrales may be a good inside fighter but at his weight with the significant size advantage he could dominate on the outside against shorter oppostion. That's my point. He COULD have boxed Castillo from outside but he chose to box inside where Castillo is the most vulnerable despite the inside fighting disavdantage. Castillo is a good inside fighter but this is also a disadvantage as he can leave himself open too many times which Chico exposed to the world.

Like I said, Corrales in a rematch makes this a boxing exhibition instead of a war and wins on TKO or UD.

well frietas might have a remote chance but he has got to stop that herky jerky bouncing around and get back to his fundamentals. As corrales said in the fight Freitas does a lot of things fundametally wrong.. For example his footwork is horrible he was bouncing around like a clown or something. that is not sticking and moving (well for him it was) but his energy cannot be maintained in this fashion he has to learn to move properly

Right on man. The whole time during the first fight I was like Corrales has got to turn this into a boxing match. He simply refused and continue to go inside. if he had boxed he would have won easier. Boxed from the outside that is.

True I was suprised Chico kept going inside on Castillo.. even though he was punish Castillo he was recieving it as well..I'm sure if they Rematch Chico will Box against Castillo and win in UD Same for Morales.

[PapiShasho]

why do people keep saying corrales cheated? its boxing, the ref did his job, castillo couldnt capitalize...

vivian harris did it in the fight with maussa, emmanuel steward took years washing the mouthpiece and putting it back in, and his fighter still got knocked the **** out...

now i know how castillo fans felt, because i wanted harris to get knocked out, and i was like PUT THE ****ING MOUTHPIECE BACK IN YOU ****ING CHEATER!!! HURRY UP YOU LITTLE *****!!...

either way, corrales-castillo was pretty much even, both of these guys are warriors, and i wanna see a rematch.

LMAO!Boxing exhibition?You make Corrales out to be a pure boxer,like a Wright or a Byrd.When has he ever put on a great boxing exhibition?Not many times,thats because he's a puncher first,boxer second.He'l never be able to put on a boxing exhibition against Castillo.No one has ever been able to outpoint Castillo decisively,except maybe Mayweather(1x),whom flatout embarrassed and KTFO Chico.

I cant see Diego out boxing Castillo, mayweather didnt the first time and his second was close.
Corrales fought the way he knows and loves to fight.These guys are so even in every category power,chin,heart,inside fighting and boxing. That is what made this a great fight, no way Diego can just jab his way to victory against a guy who made his carreer on getting inside on people.
Second fight is gonna be even again but this time Corrales wont get away with the same ****.He might even win it this time without using non boxing tactics cause like i said these guys are so even.My money is still on my boy Castillo though he wont make the same mistake twice.
