Many people underate BCD as much as they belittle Eric Harding...but not Wacko...course...I don't overratte opr underrated either man.

Many questions will be answered Friday night as he takes on a veteran world class operator in the form of Erick Harding. Harding has fought many NAMES (so to speak) & he's got enough experience to take BCD & possibley drown him. I don't honestly see that happening...bu tI do see a hard fought fight.

Chad Dawson is a fluctuating Light Heavyweight from Hartsville, SC fighting out of New Haven, CT. In 22 fights he's gone up & down from the 160 mark to the 175 point. Personally...I'd prefer he picked a spot & stuck there...like 168. He could be damned effective there & plenty of compellig matches are to be made.

He's a youngin...a prospect born in 1982 on July the 13th. BCD is regarded as a dangerous 6' 3 southpaw & he normally fights at 168lbs...which is just where I wish that he would stay.  Personally I think tkhat he could dominate 168 under the tutelage of  Winky Wright & Dan Birmingham...but here he is at 175...a   man's gotta do what  man's gotta do.

The thing is...he's gonna be in with a world class operator in the form of Harding. You can all write him off if you want...but Harding has been in with Telesco, Jones, Jones jr., Griffin, Johnson, & Tarver. He's had mixed results with some...but he did defeat Tarver once. You can't strike the man's name off the list because he's old news or on the slide or whatever...he  could be just as determined, if not more, & he has won his last two figths.

EIther way...it's only 24 hours away from our drunken weekend...& I for one am completely thrilled to death just to be able to see what the prospect can do against some reall opposition.

Get back all of ya's...

& as always...cheers & koneecheewah bitches!

It was great while it lasted, though I didn't like how Corrales fought. He has the tools to win the fight imo, he just has to step to the right of Castillo and pop off with his jab and set up with power punches behind that. You can fight in a phone booth and still use your jab, you just have to make room for the jab by creating angles. That is how he had sucess in the first fight and is how he eventually won the fight. In the second I think he and Joe Goosen got caught up in standing in front of Castillo and beating him to the punch instead of focusing on Corrales' positioning and footwork on the inside. Very disappointing imo and that is why so many are writing him this fight because he was disposed of in the second but I think he can beat Castillo. I'm glad this got pushed back from the February date it was scheduled for because I didn't think either fighter was 100% going into the second, especially Corrales. I hope everyone is treated to a great fight on Saturday, I'm to busy with school and finals and everything but now that I found out it's not PPV, I think I'm having people over for this one. The first one was just such a great fight, if this is half of that fight then people got their money's worth imo. CAN'T BELEIVE THIS ISN'T PPV! Man I'm on dream street right now.


Anyways, my pick is....I really don't know. Corrales so disappointed me last fight just trying to get by on sheer guts, heart and willpower the last fight. Overriding all of that though was a good amount of stupidity and ignorance. He basically just stood in front of Castillo and threw punches, taking more then he threw. He fought from the same angle the whole fight. He didn't have to much head movement. His chin wasn't even tucked. He was just squared up to Castillo taking punishment. I love the guy but that isn't how you win, and as much as I beleive that he can win this fight, I can't pick him. I'll make my boy prove me otherwise. I'll be rooting for him but pick him? Not unless he shows me that he is ready to do more then stand and throw.

Castillo KO but it wouldn't surprise me if Corrales won in similar fashion to the first fight (without the knockdowns of course).

CC,you hit the nail on the head and kept on hammering until it was fully in! That is EXACTLY what I believe,Diego could make things so much easier for himself,making some room,using the jab,you can see that from the first fight. Where there was space between the 2,Corrales was the superior fighter. If he goes to war this time,like the second time,he WILL get KOed.If he's smart,he can stop Castiloo,let's not forget,he hurt JLC more than JLC hurt him until round 10.Chico shook him to his boots at least 4 times.

...but Corrales basically got his ass handed to him in both fights. Even the first one...he just got a bit lucky with the help of Weeks, IWO.

That extra wait & the warning gave him ample time to get a burst built up.

Castillo by 6th round TKO.

Tony "Fight like a Champion" Weeks ;D

yo gente, got a question. will the fight be shown live on showtime? i keep seeing that it will be shown three hours after at 9pm ET and PT in da states. hopefully it will be aired live on show2 or someting. it will suck if we watch it 3 hrs later already knowing who won, takes much away from the LIVE hype.

Will Castillo make weight in the next hour? According to Chico he wont if he had Duncan Hines as his nutritionist.

Hold on a sec. When I look on my TV guide it says that College Fukin Softball is on twice, not FNF. You sure FNF is on tonight? Cus that sounds like a good main event.

I take exception so him saying he got his ass whooped in the first fight. Through the first 9 rounds Corrales was up 3 rounds on 2 cards, Castillo up on the other. Now he did get in trouble in the 9th but he fought like a champion and had Castillo limp on the ropes. And the second fight was just a product of dumb gameplanning imo.

Thanks. Here's a CC and a :-* ;D Hope Castillo makes that fukin weight too!

So here's to a good flyweight bout ::** I really couldn't care less about that card now since I know NOTHING about the flyweights. Seriously I know the name Darchynian but have never seen him fight. That's the extent of my flyweight knowledge.

fights off......castillo fails to make weight..........again >:mad >:mad >:mad >:mad >:mad >:mad

Should be a barn burner

Man this Santiago is impressing me. Good jab, nice defense, and picks his spots well. He's trained by Cotto, could be someone o look out for, he looks very good. Not as accurate as I would like for a featherweight but I'm liking what I see so far.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh me fellers & fellerettes!!!

Wer'e about to get into the thick of it.

Anyone been purveying in the spirits? :drunks:

Corralles Castillo III canceled!

Castillo weighed in twice & was at 140lbs & then 139 1'2 lbs.

The shat got passed on because of the weight difference!

Yup...unbeleivable. What a joke.

Yup Goosen said he didn't want to endanger his fighters life

Let me just say this...

Fwock Castillo.

He knew the severity of coming in on point & Corrales did it...why the fwock couldn't he?

Bullshat. I for one am 100% disappointed...

But maybe Harding vs Dawson will be the shat.

Call me when your boy wins a round. You can't tell me he landed on the forearms last round.

Chad Dawson (22 wins with 15 ko's) vs Eric Harding (23 wins with 7 ko's, 3 losses, & 1 draw) Round 7: Sorry people...I lost that round...it's storming here & my compu went down. I say Dawson won that round anyways.

All that work to the body is paying off, Harding looks discouraged and Dawson is pushing him around.
