    Castillo-Corrales III, is it still a hot Item?

    After watching one of the most incredible fights in boxing history last May, I was eagerly anticipating the rematch. It had all the elements that built for a must see rematch. There were many factors, including the controversy with Corrales' mouthpiece. The rematch was scheduled later that year.

    When it finally occurred, I was left with a sour taste in my mouth. First, Castillo didn't make weight for the fight, weighing in at 138 lbs. That made the fight a special non-title attraction, instead of being for the Ring Magazine 135 Title. Then came the worst element of them all, that the man who failed to make the weight had won by a dominating knockout in the 4th Round.

    While this will be an exciting fight, is it still as big an attraction as it was supposed to be? Will the fact that it is on regular Showtime, not PPV, help the number of viewers enough? And will this fight make the Castillo-Corrales trilogy one for the greats?

      I think it will be a one sided beating. WIth Castillo coming up on top. Diego is taking years away frmo his career for fighting this man again

        Judah looks like he was putting hurt on Mayweather - sig

        The more I look at the sig, the more it looks like to me, Maryweather thought three times before even trying to counter Judah and in that exchange he didn't.

          I am still very excited about this fight and will order it. I tend to think that Corrales can take a 135lb Castillo punch well. I also think that Corrales will take out Castillo this fight. When fight nears I'm taking bets, just gotta check and see with Vegas on what odds I'll be giving.

            As a castillo fan, i think this is a very risky fight for Castillo. Unecessary, yet still very dangerous and so it will stil intrigue me to watch it. I think Castillo will come up on top again but Corrales is one dangerous guy and wouldnt surprise me if he won.

              I will pay to see these 2 guys fight against each other anytime, guess what this will be free.

              Chico has always came back after he loses, this will be an interesting fight, someone is getting knocked out. Chico is the only guy that can knockout Castillo's iron chin. Can't wait for this fight.

              Chico is one of my favorite fighters, I hope he comes back for the third time in his career.

                  This is still a must see fight imo.Both have the power to ko the other.Both are warriors who never back up and will always have good fights.It's hard to stay on the level of their first meeting but it's hard to see any fight between the two even if they fought 10 times being boring.J.L.C. KO 6.

                    Great post, the exciting thing about them is that either one can win. There is no big expected winner like in 90% of fights. The suspense and there ability to actually knock each other out in any round make this matchup a classic.
