You know it’s a great fight when fighter’s themselves can’t wait to see who wins. A couple of SaddoBoxing.com friends gave yours truly their thoughts on this weekend’s fight. Enjoy.
Daniel Ponce De Leon (super bantamweight contender):
“I like Jose Luis Castillo to win this fight. I think that it’s going to be a war and both fighters are going to push each other to the limit. Castillo has too much skill and determination to be denied. Corrales is a powerful guy, but Jose Luis can punch hard too. This fight is not going to go the distance as these two guys are just too strong. I think Jose Luis will do a lot of damage early to Corrales’ body and he (Corrales) will start running around the ring. Castillo will catch up to him and stop him late. I’d say the eleventh or twelfth round.”
Juan “Baby Bull” Diaz (WBA lightweight champion):
“This is one of those fights were you just don’t know. If Corrales boxes and uses his arm length, he can win the fight. If he chooses to stand in there and trade with Castillo, he is going to lose, and might even get knocked out. If forced to make a pick, I’m sticking with the Mexican, Jose Luis Castillo, by late round stoppage.”
