    i seriously doubt we are gonna have a fight that surpasses the first.

    Keep in mind Chico was badly hurt and knocked down for the first time in the fight at "distance"

      Corrales had no real great moments on the outside so I don't know what some of you were watching. Maybe Al Bernstein's commentary about Chico on the outside won you over. What I saw was Castillo matching Corrales jab for jab with a much better stiffer jab and picking off most of Chico's righthands with his gloves.

        My mouth is watering just thinking about it, i live in Ireland and am sitting up till 2am to watch it. The fight will be on from 3.30 or so. Its gonna be another classic i feel.

        Castillo doesnt know any other way to fight just forward for him and Corrales is just a crowd pleaser.

        It's really 50-50 here again but i am leaning towards castillo this time.

        I am amazed at how soon this fight is taken place after only 5 months or so. Both guys have my eternal respect anyway.

          from what coralles has shown he does better in rematches. Castillo only fights one way where as coralles tends to improve some and learn from his previous fights. CHeck out his matches with Cassamayor. I think coralles will do better this time out. it will be another great battle though and I actually like both fighters so may the best man win.

            Nicely put, although my favorite fighter is JL Castillo I have never rooted against Chico at any point in his career other than his last fight vs. Corrales.

            Like you said, may the very best man win!

              im going with what my gut tells me (and my gut is frequently right), i dont think this fight will be as exciting as the 1st.

              i could be wrong, but its just a feeling that i have.

              castillo by late round TKO.
