Man!!! I'm not trying to to be gay and all soft about it but.... that is the most emotionaly stirring courageous thing I have ever seen in 20yrs of watching Boxing,what a comeback...I have seen it time and time again and it never loses it electricity...To me Corralles winning the way he did would be a longshot against a fighter with an average to above average chin..If you were to tell me Corralles got off the floor 2x and then TKO superman chin Castillo, I would have said Bullshiz period no way no how...

But he did it!!! Just Remarkable

If Rocky I had ended like that then people would have said it was unbelievable!

I do believe I just got a promotion to FORUM CHAMP BABY!!!!!!! :clap: :appl: :banana: :rocks: :thankyouthankyou:!

Thanks Brotha!!! back at you :coolclick:

let it go 11 1/2 rounds , then a big ko. im happy! ;D

Before the Castillo Croalles rubber match we'll be getting a treat on Showtime tonight.

This Friday night it's gonna be a bang out in the form of Bad Chad Dawson (22 wins with 15 ko's) vs former champion Eric Harding (23 wins with 7 ko's, 3 losses, & 1 draw) over the course of a 12 round test.

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!

this may be a stab in the dark but im saying corrales on points ,i cant seeing it being as brutal as the first, and not as definitive as the second. i see corrales employing new tactics and outscoring castillo just a feeling(somebody hang me)

Hang you my ass!!!

THat'd be fine with Wacko...I want COrrales to pull it out...I jus tthink that the likelihood of that happening are abot in line of the chances of me staying sober on fight night...slim to fwockin none!

I remember the second fight, I was super excited. It was, along with the scheduled Calzaghe-Lacy bout (that got pushed back) the fight I was looking forward to most that year.

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.
