Yeah, last time he did everything Castillo needed him to do and he STILL won. He outbrawled the guy that was supposedly unknockoutable. Corrales easily outboxes him in a rematch -
I'll never understand why people think Castillo can be easily outboxed. He easilly beat the most skillful boxer on the planet in Mayweather in thier first fight. He is not nearly as easy to hit as people think.
Outworking boxers is Castillo's specially.
You need to ask yourself WHY Corrales went at Castillo & brawled in the first fight.
It's because they knew that if they stayed on the outside trying to box, Castillo would do what he always does, ware him down & knock him out. So Chico went with the strategy to try & stop Castillo finishing all over the top of him like he has done to so many other opponents. Chico got inside & punished JLC's body in the hopes that he couldn't finish as strong as usual.
Corrales fought a game & admirable fight, but he also got the crap beaten out of him. And although he was able to pull a miricle from out of his ass to win, he had to cheat to survive (Not taking anything away from him, but it's a fact) and was well on his way to losing if not for the extra time with the mouthpiece.
Also in the months since the first fight, It's become clear that Chico is not nearly as willing to get back into the ring and brawl with Castillo as Castillo is with him.
Seeing Corrales come out & box in the rematch will already be a mental victory for Castillo. No one will keep JCL outside all night, he will be inside & he will ware you down. With Corrales boxing, I invision JCL just doing his thing & while it still could go either way, I see Castillo stopping Chico this time around.Comment

Corrales can do like he did Casamayor, only brawl more. We already saw who wins when they brawl. Why make it harder on himself and risk having his eyes well up again when he can outpoint Castillo a while before knocking his head off again. It's been proven that jabs set up knockouts, and Corrales has a good jab when he uses it.
Gatti, Lewis, and Vernon Forrest are great examples of fighters who fought behind a great jab, before knocking their opponents out. Corrales is no different, and he has JOE GOOSEN telling him how to do it!Comment
