I'm going to El Paso to watch the fight. I can't wait, El Paso is a great fight town, and its going to be live.
I want chico Corrales to win, but Castillo needs to make ****ing weight this time.
Even though Corrales weighed the same or a pound over in their last fight, not having to make the contracted weight totally favored Castillo. Corrales's weight was water weight, it wasn't the same solid rested weight like Castillo's!
Basically he had more days of rest and was at his peak when they fought.
It was totally a sucker move by Castillo and his camp, because they knew Corrales would still take the fight, because that's the kind of guy he is, in and out of the ring. A honest guy.
Corrales wasn't going to let everybody down, it was plain dirty tactics. tactics that haven't been used in a while on that kind of stage.
Their first fight was on fair terms and look what kind of fight it was, a great fight, one of the best ever. the second fight is to me, even though it's official, it is a NO CONTEST in my books!
I just want a fair fight and to see both guys come out safe with no permanent damage. may the best man win.....i'm pulling for Corrales though!
corrales showed against casamayor that he can adjust and box a great fight,
also he has a strong jab, that could score him points if he used it properly,
but i still think if castillo avoids getting caught big, then corrales will be
lucky to last the distance, losing an unanimous decison or late ko
in almost every great trilogy ever (with zale-graziano being the exception and a few others that i probly dont know), fighter a losses the 1st fight in an exciting-as-all-hell fight, wins the 2nd in a not-so-exciting fight, and then wins the third fight in another very exciting fight.
the pattern is:
fighter a beats fighter b
fighter b beats fighter a
fighter b beats fighter a.
this pattern has been involved in many great trilogies. trilogies such as Ali/Frazier, Gatti/Ward, Barerra/Morales, Ali/Norton, Leonard/Duran, De Jesus/Duran, and McLarnin/Petrolle to name a few.
but there are trilogies that follow the win, lose, win pattern, too. like Vazquez/Larios, Bowe/Holyfield, Zale/Graziano, and Ross/McLarnin.
both have are interesting patterns, but im going to follow the 1st pattern.
Tired of hearing all the whining about the weight. Boo ****in hoo. Castillo had to weigh in the day of the fight as well which is something Corralles did NOT have to do. If you just whine about the weight and ignore the mouthpiece issue from the 1st fight then you are a rabid whiny Corralles fan.
Castillo will win the 3rd fight, guaranteed. This prediction is as good as gold. There's no way for Chico to beat Jose. He cannot outbox, even if he tried, and he can't outslug him. He certainly isn't tougher than Castillo.
