ICEY Observation..........

[ferocity]

Thanks for your analysis. Much better hearing it from a former fighter than from a bunch of idiots on this forum.

scully was put in a position and went ahead with the fight, show balls and confident in his skills, castillo was over 5 pounds not 21 pounds as compared to scullys opponet, seeing how scully fought a guy 21 pounds heavier, don't you think he'd still have fought him if he was only over 5 pounds?

plain and simple corrales didn't accept this fight cause he was not confident he could beat castillo

Well I don't blame him for not excepting the fight, when the last time he fought Corrales he was knocked out, so he definetly had no confidence fighting the heavier man. If he is man enough, he will let go of his belt and move up to 140 and fight Castillo there. It's time for him to chase the money, who else can he fight at 135 for a million dollars, no one.

I have to add that I have no idea about the circumstances of the fight the other night etc but I will say this... there is a very good chance that even if Corrales or any champion for that matter had wanted to go ahead with the fight anyway there will be people behind him that have money and time, etc etc invested in his career and with a situation like that the fighter, even if he wants to go ahead with the fight, could be overruled

So it's Corrales's fault the fight didn't come off? You are officialy promoted from Castillo Nuthugger to Castillo Bend Over Boy.

Back to topic, I too was very impressed with Dawson's performance. he was smartly aggressive, and based on what he showed, he would likely have won a decision over a prime Harding.

answer yes or no.....if corrales chose to fight, would the fight still be on?

[vB Martin]

That's irellevant. The only relevant fact is that Castillo wouldn't or couldn't make weight. He was allowed to get away with it once, there was no reason to allow it twice.

While I have no vested interest in either fighter, I will have to point out that Corrales never used the excuse of Castillo's weight for getting KO'd in the second fight, unlike Castillo who cried like a little ***** about the extra 15 seconds in the first fight.
Corrales stated what we all saw, he dropped his right badly and got caught with a gorgeously timed left.

See the difference between them?

[vB Martin]

The last thing I have to say on this.

I will not respond regarding this subject again. There are enough threads regarding this issue without having to hijack John's thread about a boxer who could possibly be the next great Light Heavyweight.

John, my apologies.

corrlaes at the time didn't ***** about their second fight, but its what occurred in their 2nd fight that has him backing out of the fight -corrales ko'd......plus we saw what happened in the 1st fight with corrales and the mouth piece

Not sure who that was in reference to, it was Castillo's fault, he didn't make weight lets end it at that. However, this whole fight should have been at 140, it was obvious that the fight wasn't going to happen. Now that we know that the WBC sent letters to Arum saying that Castillo is not on track, and Arum ignored them for an unknown reason. Now you have a negative blast at boxing once again, just what it needs with mma slowly taking over.
