Corrales 5 pounds over!

[moochi]

What a fking joke!!!.....

Corrales got KTFO by Castillo, and then turns around thinking he is the real champ just because Castillo was a dumb fk and came in overweight!!!......

and WHAT HAPPENS!!...the poor *** who didn't want to "risk his health" against Castillo III now comes in 5 ounds overweight!!

Corrales was saying he wanted to sue Castillo and have him pay big for the cancellation!!!...and what now!...

of course Casamayor will take the fight, he doesn't have much of a choice except to reject the fight for moral reasons and not to "risk his health"...

LAS VEGAS Jun 2, 2006 (AP)— Diego Corrales wasn't about to make the same mistake twice. He and Jose Luis Castillo had been down this road before.

Their WBC lightweight title fight was called off Friday after Castillo didn't come close to making the 135-pound limit for the second time in a row, and Corrales decided it was too dangerous for him to go ahead with the fight.

Corrales gave up a $1.3 million payday rather than fight a much heavier fighter. He did it with the memory of his knockout loss to Castillo last October when Castillo was also heavier fresh in his mind.

"I have a wife and children and I want to see them grow up," Corrales said

Corrales paid the price in their last fight, losing on a fourth round knockout to a fighter who didn't have to make the same sacrifice to make weight as he did.

"If he got hurt I could never live with myself again," said Corrales' promoter Gary Shaw, who urged his fighter not to fight.

The Saturday night fight could have gone on as a non-title bout, and Corrales had the final say. But his manager, promoter and trainer both told him he shouldn't fight because it was too risky to fight against a fighter who outweighed him by so much.

"I would say pull the plug on it," trainer Joe Goossen said. "He (Corrales) drained himself to make 135 and the other guy didn't have to do it."

Castillo weighed in a total of four times during a two-hour period but could never get any closer than 139 1/2 pounds. Corrales, meanwhile, weighed the 135-pound limit on his first try.

"All I can say is I'm sorry," Castillo said.

That wasn't good enough for Corrales, who was angered by Castillo's failure to get anywhere near the weight.

"Those are just empty words," Corrales said. "I wanted to hit him in the mouth."

Corrales huddled with his promoter and manager and Castillo's promoter, Bob Arum, before making his decision. His wife looked on, holding their infant daughter.

The two promoters then told what was left of a crowd that came for the weigh-in at Caesars Palace that the fight was off.

did you guys not read that he can only lose 2 pounds which means he is not gonna make the weight. He is over and will stay over.
Its up to Casamayor to choose if he wants to fight

exactly................

Diego Corrales lifts his arms while trying to make weight at Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas on Friday, Oct. 6, 2006. Corrales, who weighed-in at 139.5 lbs. was scheduled to fight Casamayor for the WBC lightweight boxing championship on Saturday in Las Vegas.

you must remember, the first time castillo came in overweight, corrales took the fight to please the fans. He showed he was a worrior. If casamayor wants to be called a worrior, he'll take the fight, and casa wants to be called a worrior.

This isnt the second time for corrales. If it was, THEN i would say casamayor shouldnt fight him. But there is sooo much on the line for casamayor, money and legacy, that he absolutely cannot turn it down!!!


But dont think for a second that i am not outraged and disgusted with corrales

[$ LegenD $]

damn....he's been stripped of the WBC belt but im guessing the fight is still on.....i know im dissappointed in my boy chico but some of you need to realise this is his 1st time and still should not be compared with the castillo fiasco....he did TWICE and the 2nd was intentional.....

[-EX-]

LMFAO ha ha. I think Corrales should have been went up to 140. He's tall compared to the other lightweights, and I agree he looks like a popstick.
