    And you dont think it weakened Casamayor even more making the weight, especially when he's the older fighter with a slower metabolism???

      I'm gonna pick Casa. I think Corrales will be slow and fatigued from the weight loss and won't be able to take advantage of his extra mass. It will be a close decision. I wouldn't be surprised if any of the other options occur, so I wouldn't go puttin' money on it.

        I don't think it did.

        He makes 135 very comfortably.

        Corrales has had problems with it for a while.

        Joel's been fighting comfortably at that weight for a long time. His camp went well and he was near fighting weight a few weeks out.

          I NEVER SAID THAT!!!! u guys gotta stop putting words in my mouth.

          and just because casa is older, doesnt mean is metabolism is worse. and it doesnt mean its harder to lose weight.

          its probable, but trust me, it was easier for casamayor to get 135 then it was for corrales.

            It sounds like Chico's been straining for days trying to cut weight.

            That could have weakened him.

            Or not.
            If that's the case then it would definitely dehydrate him and make him very weak during fight time. Casa should go for the body because that would be chico's achilles heel.

              If anyone is going to feel the pain of a counter left it's Chico. Everytime he attacks the body he leaves his right hand down FAR too long and leaves the right side of his face totally open. Floyd, Castillo, and Casamayor have seen that gap and let him have it, that's why he's tasted the canvas.

                everyone's saying "corrales by KO", which is part of the reason why i think casa will win.

                  so i take it corrales hasnt made weight within two hours?

                  corrales fights at 145 and takes plenty of punches from casa then beats the hell out of him.
                  corrales must of invested his money wisely and can deal with the promoters and sanctioning bodys that are going to nail him.

                    If Casamayor boxes the same way he did on their first fight, Casamayor by UD.

                      i was saying corrales would win before i heard. sounds like he's killed himself to even get to 139. worked out 3 times on the day of the weigh-in with no food or water? he's in trouble saturday night, i just hope he's ok at the end of the fight.
