Castillo vs Corrales rematch has be announced..PICTURE

[tracylee]

Wouldn't it have been easier for him (to stop the coming hurt, & save face at the same time) to just STAY DOWN ?
No one would have questioned his balls had he stayed down.

There's proof to what I'm saying - Chico unloaded when he got back up,& WON. A quitter would have never done that.

I'm saying that move has always been universally recognized as a 'quittin' move. But, like I said, it was weeks that allowed it.

Well...looks like Weeks made the right call, then.
Because Corrales wasn't ready to quit...& had enough left to fight back with a series of monster powershots....fight back &
win.

I don't want anyone to think I disrespect Castillo. I think he is the ****. I thought he was going to beat Chico the first time.
The only fighter between 130 & 140 I'd root for over him, is Corrales.

Everyone has a point here, spitting the mouthpiece multiple times is in a way saying I cant fight in the alotted ten second you are giving.

On the other hand he got up after that as give him credit he came back from the dead even though he was given assistance.

Here is the deal...

Imagine the fight takes place exactly the same way, if Diego does exactly the same stuff he did what would you as the refereee do?

I guaranttee that if he spits it after 1 knockdown and spits it again after the second the fight is over I dont care how much power he has or what kind of come from behind fighter he is...if things play out the same exact way in the second fight it will be waved off.

Who disagrees with this?

I predicted the KO in round 10 last time and I will do it again.
Chico by KO in round 10 again!!

Did Weeks make the right call?

Why dont we just count to 25 instead of ten, this cant happen again in a big fight, in boxing we have a ten count and it is already longer than that...

the fact that Corrales came back to KO Castillo is of no relevance, he was given 3-4 times the amount normally given to a hurt fighter-if Corrales's move is going to be accepted then **** the ten count all toegther, give hiurt fighters more time to recover so they have a chance at coming back.

In the beginning I was asking the same thing. Why did Weeks let Corrales do that and Corrales is cheap, etc.

This is coming from someone who isn't that crazy about Corrales or Castillo

Weeks deducted a point the second time Corrales did that. It's just like almost everything else you do in boxing what's a cheat that may affect the winner/loser of the fight, you first get a warning and the second time you do it you get a point deducted...Had Corrales done it again, he would have been DQ'd, no doubt about that.

Like Jabs said earlier, if Weeks had stopped such a great fight like that he would have been crucified.

Castillo supporters really have no reason to be upset, in my opinion, a rematch is going to happen.

That's not what I was aiming at...
Tracy & Luisillo claimed that Weeks should have stopped the fight because Corrales spitting out the piece was a sign of surrender.
Weeks knows who Corrales is, what kind of fighter he is....& was the closest to him as it all went down. He knew Corrales was BUYING TIME, not quitting.

Like I've said....I'm not arguing with anyone calling Corrales' move "cheap".
My problem is with people calling him a "*****", or questioning his guts & DESIRE.

Well taken, he is no *****-like you said he just used a shady move to buy time...which is smart but should not and will not be accepted again. (there might not be another fighter in the game who could have come back like that-that is with the same amount of rest)

Corrales used his "get out of jail card free" if it happens again and I was the ref I would wave the fight off and say sorry Diego we have a ten count for a reason, if you cant fight after my count then you cant fight.

OK, here is my take on this epic rematch. It is going to happen in the same style that the first one did, which really makes me grind my teeth in nervousness when I sleep. Diego said before the first fight they were gonna trade bombs and they did, he is saying he is gonna do the same thing this time around so there is no reason to think otherwise. With that being the case;

MY IDEAL SITUATION is that Diego hurts Castillo with a big shot before we can get to the later rounds and thus stops him before he takes too much punishment. Sadly, with the chin on Castillo I do not see this being the case.

MY PREDICTION is that it will be very similar to the first fight with Chico probably even hitting the deck again, and maybe sooner on then the tenth. But the bottom line is with Diego that he gets up, dusts himself off, and gets back to work. Fighters knock Chico down, but Chico knocks fighters out. That being said, Chico climbs off the canvas to win by KO in 11.

THE REALITY OF THE SITUATION is that on any given night these two guys are very, very, very, very, even fighters. And that it is real tough to say that one guy is just flat out better then the other (even if you are the most die hard Castillo fan like everybody on BoxingScene, or the most die hard Corrales fan like me-- and maybe DiegoFuego)-- so no matter when they get together it is gonna be a tough and competitive fight. I just think that while Castillo has a break' em down style, Diego is more of a one-punch stoppage kind of fighter. And when you have a guy like Chico who refuses to stay down even if it is in his best interest, you have to give his tools an ever-so-slight edge going in. But I would not be that suprised by either guy winning, and would not be ashamed if my guy lost to a warrior like Castilo. And whether Castillo fans say it or not, they feel just about the same way.

This is a good post, your being realistic. I have them very,very,very even also going into this fight.Dont compare yourself to Diegofuego cause you make sense with what you say. Corrales is on my top 5 favorite fighters list and in that weight the only guy I choose to deafeat him is Castillo, so anyone else Diego fights im rooting for him.

i never thought of that angle. it appeared to me that castillo looked dimmed from beatings in previous rounds and even after extra seconds rest didnt have it in him to stay after corrales and end it.

that corrales doesnt have a glass jaw like some assume. he has a rubber jaw with a little kevlar mixed in.

I wasnt gonna quote this retarted post but now that I look at it again you might be right. Corrales was spitting his mouth piece out to give Castillo more time ooohhhhhhhh now I see what happened.It wasnt Castillo thinking he had him hurt cause of the 2 kd and just let his guard down.

I never said he had a glass jaw,he is actually doing the smart thing by falling on the floor before he gets real hurt and cant get up. Every time he has been down it looks like he lets himself drop to the floor to take the count which is smart.
