corrales vs Castillo this sunday isnt it ... The last two fights have been class this is the rubber match . Im thinking castillo will win he won the last fight by ko and i cant see corrales going the distance but the guy is a class fighter ... anybody watching it ?
castillo vs hatton would be class . hatton should stay at light welter he looked weak against a bigger man in his last fight !
should be a cracking fight.......Castillo to win i think tho, he says it will only last 6 round with Corrales, both good fighters tho. odds are............. Castillo 2/1 Corrales 6/4 and a draw............20/1 might be tempted to throw a few quid on
not surprised the draws at long odds both of these guys can punch . Castillo should win but the way hes been bragging and mouthing off i wouldnt be surprised if corrales came out and caught him early on ! looking forward to it got the crates in the box office is sorted and the party is set !
i think castillo aswell, he has more class imo but then again i watched one of my heros Royce Gracie come out of retirement to get beat in the UFC the other night, so anything can happen
i think it will be close but i think corrales could win but still feel castillo will as he has point to prove that he can beat him without weight advantage. either way hatton will tear one of them apart
The eagerly-anticipated third clash between Jose Luis Castillo and Diego Corrales has been called off after Castillo failed to make the weight for the lightweight showdown. Dubbed the “War to Settle the Score” with both men having won one of the previous encounters, the fight was cancelled with Corrales refusing to fight at a heavier weight. Castillo tipped the scales four and a half pounds over the 135-pound lightweight limit meaning the bout for his WBC lightweight title could not go ahead. It was a similar scenario last time the two men met with Castillo again failing to make the lightweight limit, but on that occasion Corrales agreed to a non-title match at a heavier weight. He lost that fight in the fourth round and, after consultation with his promoter, decided against doing the same this time around and then launched a withering attack on Castillo for his failure to make the bout. ”If you've got the nerve to challenge me for my belt, in my city, on my turf, at least have the respect to even attempt to make the weight,” he blasted. ”Five pounds is not an attempt to make the weight. Two, a pound and a half, I can see that's an attempt to make the weight. Five pounds is not a damn attempt to make the weight.” Corrales missed out on a purse of $1.3 million by refusing to fight Castillo at a heavier weight, but his promoter Gary Shaw insisted he had done the right thing. "(Diego Corrales) is not going to put his life at risk," Shaw said on Fightnews.com. "You saw what happened last time. We are not money hungry!" Castillo apologised for the fiasco, stating: “All I can say is I'm sorry.” However, his behaviour provoked a furious attack from his own promoter Bob Arum who insisted he had been left utterly embarrassed by the whole scenario. ”I'm mortified and embarrassed by what happened here,” Arum said. “It's a disgrace.”
has it seriously been called off? av just bought a bastard crate, sitting waiting for the fucka to start!!!!!:bang: :fuming: :angry:

well the carl froch v brian mghee fight was well worth staying up for, mghee was all over him i thought, but froch knocked him oot in the 11th round
Tell me about it mate what a rip off ! Castillo blatantly did this on purpose he was over weight the l;ast time they fought by a pund and a half and corrales said no problem then got beat so castillo has obviously thought oh well lets try it again ... There is no way a fighter would be 4-5 pounds over for a fight hes just made no effort whatsovere to make the right limit its a fucking disgrace ... he should be put in a ring with corrales with both his hands tied behind his back the cheating bastard ! I wqas well looking forward to this ... Gutted !
