Showtime March 5:Corrales-Castillo All Set, Lacy To Fight In Co-Main!

[borikua]

December 23, 2004 - WBO lightweight champion Diego "Chico" Corrales and WBC lightweight champion Jose Luis Castillo will unify their titles on Showtime March 5. Negotitations for the bout were at a standstill for weeks, but at the end of the day, Corrales decided to take the money offered as Showtime was on the verge of searching for a new main event. Undefeated super middleweight champion Jeff "Left-Hook" Lacy will defend his IBF title in the co-feature. If Lacy isn't obligated to a mandatory defense, Showtime's Ken Hirshman liked the idea of Lacy-Scott Pemberton when he spoke with **********.com last night.

Woohooo.

I'd like to see Castillo silence all non-believers with a KO.

Can't wait. Castillo is looking to bigger and better things he will come prepared for war. Corrales also same goals for mega fights will also come prepared for war... Looks like we are gonna have a WAR!!! This will be another fight of the year candidate.

I think Castillo will handle Corrales rather convincingly. They both want war and I think the stronger fighter with the better chin will win. Castillo throws combinations where as Corrales really just tries to hurt his opponents one punch at a time. It will be a great fight.

Castillo by convincing decision with Corrales showing his heart as usual.

i am routing for Castillo. i hope Corrales is hurt really bad, just like his girlfriend was when he beat her. I want Castillo to end Corrales career in brutal and tragic fashion. Go Castillo, do it for the victums of domestic battery.

I hope Corrales wins because he's a legitimate one-punch KO threat....something the sport always needs.

Beating castillo is one major tough task for Chico, however.

The ref or chico's corner will stop this fight late after he is all ****ed up, Chico will then cry and moan about not being given a chance to continue just like he did against MAyweather, it will probably be eerily similiar to the moans and cries that Chico's ex-wife exhausted after their last fight...This is an alley fight and I would walk down an alley anyday with JL Castillo...he wins in brutal fashion very similiar to what JL did to Lazcano except I believe LAzcano's beard is a lot better than Chico's.

I agree Kimmy, he is overated...he will be overpowered and outclassed in this one and it won't be the first time that this so called great fighter has had this happen to him(maybe some call him great, maybe im exagerating)I want a brutal ending in this fight...I expect to get it!
