Quick Jabs: Oktober Feast Review

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

There was an abundance of action this October ranging from calorie counting ‘lightweights’ to boring heavyweight freak shows. Additionally, two undefeated champions ushered in the emergence of the super middleweight division’s ‘golden age.’ [details]

On October 12, 1492, Christopher Columbus arrived at the Ba*****, believing he was in Asia. Just as Diego Corrales arrived at his weigh-in believing he was an exalted champion with impeccable morale standards.

Joel Casamayor and human nature triumphed over Diego Corrales during a busy fight night. There is no shame in losing to Casamayor or human nature. However, Corrales should be ashamed of losing his integrity on the scales.

What’s more, Corrales isn’t the only one that lost his integrity during the weigh-in. Yes, Showtime’s Golden Warrior dropped the ball at the scales and in the ring, but so did promoter Gary Shaw.

Shaw is now guilty of promoting two fights that should have never occurred at the lightweight level. His sincere fondness for Corrales must be questioned since he “pushed” Corrales into fighting at a weight he dangerously struggles to make. The effects of rapid weight loss and in-ring battles may be too much for “Chico’s” 29-year-old body.

In spite of that, Shaw was flabbergasted after Corrales’ weigh-in fiasco. “I’m shocked. I don’t know what to say.”

How about issuing an apology to the fans for ‘perpetuating a disgraceful fraud’ by having two welterweights fight for a lightweight title?…

this guy was right on target. shaw is much to blame for what went down. and corrales should have kept his big mouth shut in the first place.
