    Bozo I see your point, but it is an unwritten code between fighters that it is something you just don't do.

      Hey Bozo I agree...

      If you want to shame one of the wins I think you have to shame both of them...or you can do what you say and give credit to both wins-I like it pal.

      Like I have said a million times-Gary Shaw ran up to Castillo after not making the weight and bet him...why make that bet if you think your fighter is at a huge disadvantage?

      Secondly all of the predictions I read post weigh in still were heavily in favor of Corrales...the common theme I heard was that Castillo was not in shape (which I thought to be laughable)...but the second that fight got stopped the weight became the big issue and who knows it may have been the deciding factor in the fight but the point is Castillo was ****ed either way...

      Had he of lost that fight he would have been out of shape and had he won the fight like he did he would be called a sneaky son of a ***** who wanted revenge.

      Again Cant ****ing wait!

        Tell that to Frietas, or anyone else who's done it lately. Or to anyone who mixes in headbutts, elbows, pucnches on the break. All of these things can be called seasoned and savvy moves depending on who's looking at it.

        People overshadow the greatness of that fight by dwelling on the mouth piece. Corrales still got up from monster shots and came back with a vengence.

          spitting out a mouthpiece to bide time when you are clearly in deep trouble is not that much of a breach of the rules, but it is a breach of the unwritten code between fighters. It's just something you don't do, simple as that. I do think we should give credit to both fighters for both wins, though.

            While it may have seemed like that at first, I think there's no doubt that Castillo just trained with intensity and didn't worry about cutting weight, which clearly made him much stronger.

            But the minute Corrales and his camp agreed to go on with the fight was the minute that lost credibility as an excuse.

            I think they're both 1 and 1 now, and that's really what makes this 3rd bout so interesting.

              PBDS my good freind how the **** are ya? (I'll be in your neck of the woods the 26th of June mother****er)

              Anyways have you ever gone home after a long night of partying when you thought you had a girl all lined up and it turns out that she never had any intention of GETTING YOU OFF-and you dont find this out until the very end? (makes you wanna cry)

              Well dont be mad at Chico-the same type thng applies...he trained for months and months to attack Lil Floyd and when that moment finally came and the bell rang he quickly found out that Floyd was just not gonna let him GET OFF.

              It hurts not getting off once you have set your mind to getting off, it ****ing hurts my friend!

              BTW-where do you live again? I have rental car all week.

                I don't like talk of an unwritten code when fighters are constantly sacking eachother, head butting, and elbowing.

                There's no unwritten code in those instances, and I don't see how there's fouls all the time but all of a sudden what Corrales did was worse.
