Castillo-Corrales: Splitting Heirs of Controversy

[CloudJay]

nice article...

Its not splitting hairs there is a clear distinction between someone not making weight for the first time.

Was what Corrales did right no but it is not nearly the level of Castillo's antics.

Castillo failed to make weight 3 times. That means there were 2 fights in which he must've known or he couldn't make 135lbs but STILL contracted fights against lower weight fighters.

Does everyone also forget that Castillo was caught attempting to cheat the scales?

Castillo was not condemend for the his first 2 infractions and even Corrales's post fight interview for fight number 2 he was constantly asked did the weight play an issue but he chose not to use that out, however he did chose not to go through it a second time.

I like Castillo and do believe he is a warrior and a very good fighter but his repeatedly not making weight is much more aggregious than Corrales's.

The article was fair as can be, you on the other hand are showing biased towards Corrales. Corrales didn't want the fight at a higher weight class, and Corrales is the one who said its his pride that makes him make weight. But like Castillo he couldn't. Plain and simple, neither could and neither is better then the other.

Ok, so why dont you comment on any of the points I made? You dont see a difference between a 1 time offender and a 3 time offender that was caught cheating?

That fact that Corrales made a huge deal about Castillo, and then he does the samething.....why should we let Corrales off the hook? He made it very clear how he felt about Castillo, and how he'd never do that, yet he does so in his very next fight. Corrales messed up, thats all theirs to it. He owned himself. What makes it worse is that Casamayor still took the fight, and to add more insult, Casamayor won.

Again you refuse to address any of my initial points. However I am willing to address the points you make. Corrales DID take the first fight against Castillo after Castillo also failed to make weight and Corrales was not condeming of Castillo for the first offence it was in there second fight (Castillo's 3rd time not making weight) that Corrales got fed up.

I understand that. But im sure you are aware that Castillo wanted the fight at a higher weight and Corrales refused to have the fight at a higher weight. And lets be honest, Castillo was drained for the second fight, and for the 3rd fight, yet Corrales didn't want to go on with third fight, because plain and simple, "corrales was scared to get ko'd." Castillo didn't have anymore of an advantage then Corrales had over Casamayaor.

LOL! At my quote in your sig.

Ok, I'll try this one more time. Your saying that someone who misses making weight once is as bad as someone who missed it 3 times and got caught cheating at the scales? Its a simple question.

You dont even have to post your reply just answer it to yourself honestly and you will see that the transgressions of Corrales and Castillo are at entirely different ends of the spectrum.

The big difference is that Corrales made a huge deal about, and went on a rant about how he would never do that, about how Castillo did it on purpuse. So in Corrales situation, its just as bad. Again it was Corrales who didnt' want the fight at a higher weight, Castillo tried to make weight, but his body wouldn't allow it, as was the cast with Corralles.

I was reading fishers mail bag, and afterwards i emailed him a link to this article.

I got a reply from fisher, he was all mad, the guy didn't even listen to what i said, but he kept giving excuses and talking mad **** about every beltran fighter, the guy is a huge biased Corralles fan.
