Regardless of what Corrales said last night, the fight's off. Showtime officially pulled the plug, saying enough is enough, placing the blame soley on Corrales and his promoters.
All you 'Castillo is a coward' people can eat crow now.
Castillo-Corrales implodes!
By Karl Freitag & Bill Luppert
Just when it looked like the fight would happen, the proposed March 5 lightweight unification beout between WBC champion Jose Luis Castillo and WBO champion Diego Corrales collapsed earlier today. "Diego would not sign the bout agreement," promoter Gery Shaw informed *********.com. Shaw stated that to their credit Showtime extended the deadline to make the fight happen numerous times, however "this is one time they said that if they don't have the bout agreement today, it's over. Around 4:30 or 5 p.m., they pulled the plug." He also commented, "I have a lot of respect for Diego. He's a tremendous fighter."
I`m getting bored with this Corrales guy!! Castillo should fight someone with a heart!
That guy flip-flops around too much for my liking! On FNF last night, he talked about the fight, as in it was gonna happen. BUT, after that on ShowBox (Showtime) they announced that the fight had fallen thru due to "in-fighting within the Corrales camp"?? (what the hell ever that means ) and that he'd be fighting Julio Diaz instead (I think..cant swear to it cause I was very tired by that time after a busy day and they may have meant that Castillo would facing Diaz ). I didnt think I'd ever see the day where he was literally afraid to face someone, but that seems to be the case here (unless there is more to it; he should make a public statement just to clear the issue up). I've not liked Chico every since he beat his pregnant wife (ex-wife now) up, and I dont think I'll ever like him
And yeah, Corrales saying 'if the fight doesn't go off, it's Castillo's fault' on FNF was some ho ****, plain and simple.
Unbelievable! Shaw was actually going to waive his fee and let Diego make all the money if he'd just get back in the ring! Now that's damn unheard of... Coralles MUST be worried that Castillo can and will beat him; nothing else makes any sense. Didnt think it possible, but I like him even LESS now!
i think Castillo will beat Corrales, Chico has serious mental lapses inside the ring - it's like he forgets his game plan in there for a while, i think Castillo will catch him at one of those times and KTFO him. Freitas was overrated, Castillo will be the real test, if it evr happens

Frietas is overrated, and he was schooling Diego until he got tired. I like Chico, but he is not as good as everyone thinks he is.
