Tons of respect to Casamayor

[Tha Greatest]

You got to respect Casamayor for taking this fight, after seeing what happened in the second Castillo-Corrales, I wouldn't blame him for turning it down.

He has a lot more to gain that Corrales.....
I can't believe Diego didn't make the weight

[RAESAAD]

I have always respected him anyway......he is a solid fighter and has only lost narrowly to the best out there.

true..
but I meant for taking this fight..

Casamayor needs the bread anyways, he would have fought him even if Corrales came in 10 lbs over

gotta have respect. i kinda wish the fight was called off. if corrales wins, theres gonna be a ton of justified execuses goin around. but if he loses, everyone is just gonna think that he sucks AND he had the advantage (which wont be a HUGE advantage to begin with)

I know I really cant see how 5 pounds makes THAT much of a difference?

its not that type of fight. its gonna be an outside boxing match. corrales was already a huge powerpuncher, any shots he lands big, he would have landed without the weight advantage. its still a sizable advantage though

and now casamayor has a big mental advantage IMO.

as sick as i am with corrales not makin weight, u gotta admit, it kinda makes the fight more interesting doesnt it?

sarcasism or not? i cant tell...

but seriously. the big picture is a lot more interesting now. The whole castillo-corrales III thing, and both casa and chico have new big advantages.

for me, the fight got more interesting. just not as excited for it i guess...

tbh i believe its no great surprise that casamayor has taken the fight look at hes situation.
hes 35 and in the middle of the twilight of hes carear.
hasnt had a big payday since the castillo fight in 2004
the highest hes ranked by any orgonisation is 7th so its gonna take at least 2 years to become a mandatory to ne belt.
corrales is the only big payday left in the division that will give him a fight
