Jose Luis “El Temible” Castillo: The Big, Bad Mexican.

i understand corrales not fighting. i dont think he should of faught the second fight.
i guess if castillo didnt try to make weight(witch i belive he tryed just couldnt do it) its because corrales let him get a way with it and so did reyes.
all these threads about corrales safety where were they for reyes, is it because reyes has never been in an exciting fight?

Reyes is not famous like Chico, many fighter die every year, but no one talks about them.

wow, ferocity, you really are as ****** as your posts would indicate.

wow, vB Martin, you really are as ****** as your posts would indicate.

Not only did I only mention Corrales in terms of the money he lost, I actually praised Castillo's ability as a fighter, yet you still somehow manage to say I'm defending Corrales.

Yes, the fight could have gone on. It shouldn't have, though. Why reward Castillo for not making weight for the third fight in a row?

you're not rewarding him when you are taking a good chunk out of his paycheck. the fight goes on so their hardwork doesn't go to waste and so they both get paid and the show goes on. the fear is from corrales camp that they may once again lose.

Now here's my question to you. If Corrales had offered to go on with the fight in return for 90% of what was left of Castillo's purse after the fatass fines were levied and Castillo refused, would you be spending an inordinate amount of time trying to turn every thread on this board into a thread BLAMING Castillo for refusing the chance to fight?

list kid, i'am not blaming any "one" individual, as a whole lots of people are to blame.

i defend castillo because so many of you are putting 100 percent of the blame on castillo and its not soley his fault.

I agree with you on this, but that's just the way it is. Also you have to understand that it's not the fans fault, the media is to be blame for this.

Just look at ESPN coverage of boxing, how many highlights we see from boxing on sportcenter???

That's not the point, Chico fought Castillo the first time, Castillo wanted to cheat for the second time. To me that is cheating. 2 months ago Chico clearly said that he will not fight Castillo again, if he doesn't make weight. Guess what Chico kept his word!

I believe Castillo thought Chico will accept the fight again, he had no intention of making weight. He wanted to be the fresher & stronger fighter.

It's OK to be Castillo fan, nothings wrong with that, but it's not OK to defend him.

then you don't defend corrales

unless its roy jones or tyson espn wont show ****. they had the first castillo vs corrales fight rated number 9 in last years, end of the year countdown that could of easy have been number one or at least top 3.

spanish channels talk about boxing alot but thats just of latino fighters or established champs

reyes is not famous but his fight with castillo brought him to at least talk about his fight with castillo and nobody cared for him and reyes didn't get ko'd when castillo came in heavy.

then you don't defend corrales

What am I defending?? It's nothing to defend!. Castillo didn't make weight, Castillo wanted to cheat again, what's this have to do with Chico??

Are you blaming Chico for something that I don't know??

ill be honest with you tho, reyes played it smart and stayed away from castillo, corrales didnt.
lot of people blaim the weight issue on corrales lose in the second fight, they dont stop and look that he choose the wrong style.
