Corrales to lose WBO belt!
Win or lose on February 4, WBC/WBO lightweight champion Diego Corrales will no longer have the WBO portion if his lightweight crown. The WBO announced today that Corrales loses his lightweight championship status when he faces Jose Luis Castillo by not complying with his mandatory obligation. The move opens the door for Zahir Raheem (27-1) to face former champion Acelino Freitas (37-1). Freitas' promoter Artie Pelullo is said to like the match, as does Top Rank's Todd DuBoef, who represents Rahim.

Zahir-Freitas good bout!

Id go with Freitas to chin check Zahir,but really i dont know how much he has left in the tank,so realistically Raheem does enough to win.

If corrales loses (I like corrales,but i think castillo has his number at this point) That still potentialy sets up Corrales-Raheem, which Id LOVE to see,and gives corrales a chance to regain that belt.

i aint sure if corrales or castillo will stay at 135lbs after this fight, there both killin themselves tryin to make 135lbs, i just dont think their body can take much more at 135lbs, i think they will both go up to 140lbs after this fight or soon after.

I go with Freitas by late KO against Raheem

Damn, what a twist of event.

Popo and Raheem would be an interesting fight. Both have only one loss, both can box but it's beyond question that Popo has a heavier hands.

I'll pick Popo over Raheem.
