Question on Corrales' Ethics

[Left2body]

People need to let this go, no matter what they think of the situation.

Bottom line:

Corrales cheated, by manually removing his mouthpiece in an attempt to gain extra time to recover from being knocked down. He was penalized by having a point deducted. Problem solved.

Castillo cheated, by coming in 2 pounds overweight, he was penalized by not being able to fight for the championship. Problem solved.

Close thread.

I can accept all that with the exception that Castillo was 3 1/2 pounds over not 2, other than that I say sure.

It's the equivalent of fouling the other team late in a game in basketball, or fouling away from the basket when you're up by 3 knowing the opponent only gets 2 shots. Is it sportsmanlike? Maybe not. But it's within the rules...

fouls happen every single game in fact thats what the refs are there for.Spitting your mouth piece out is a whole different kind of stragedy.this is more like a flagrant foul 2 of those gives you an early shower.I would like to see the rule that states..."You may spit your mouth piece out if you need to buy time"
