Remember Castillo-Corrales rematch weigh-in??

[Cortez The Killer]

First fight: Both weigh-in at 135, back and forth battle, evenly matched. Classic.

Rematch: Castillo weighs in 3.5 lbs over. Diego still fights. Gets knocked out in 4th.



What a stunt

What a stunt

There was no excuse for Castillo coming in at that weight but I honestly think that Corrales was so weight drained any half decent fighter would of destroyed him that night at 135, but dont get me wrong Castillo had a massive advantage. Corrales never made 135 again after that.

So I think this is a big different if thats what your trying to say comparing it to Mayweather/Marquez?

That is why I brought it up.


You are right, it may not be the best example. But I wanted to illustrate an example of how two fighters following the RULES and weighing in at the agreed upon weight can create a completely outcome between fights.



I don't know what the "significant" fine was for Mayweather, but I get the impression he never planned to make the agreed 144 weight to begin with.

If Mayweather never even attempted the weight, we my see a drastically different outcome in the fight than if he did try to make 144.

This article states Mayweather had to pay $600K ($300k per pound) for coming in over weight. Which is four times what JMM got paid to get robbed against Chris John.

Does Marquez get some (or all) of the money though? My first thought was that that was probably the reason he didn't seem too upset at Mayweather. Plus, Marquez strikes me as the sort of guy who would still think he could win if PBF came in at 154.

It goes to Marquez's purse, however it's divided up there, I don't know.

That fight went pretty much as expected as soon as the weights were revealed at the weigh in. Castillos left hook was the most dangerous punch Corrales came in contact with but Corrales will and power still made the fight intriguing and it was still a great fight while it lasted. I would have loved to have seen this be a trilogy, but that first fight was unbelievable. Both men really gave us their best.

This is nothing like the Corrales fight. Mayweather could have tried to make the agreed weight but thought better of it in the long run he wanted to keep all the advantages his way.

That has been mentioned already and I agreed it wasnt a picture perfect example..

My point was trying to illustrate how much of an advantage this will be for Mayweather, how if he made 144 we could possibly see a much more competitive fight than we will now. I used that example to show both making weight and a competitive fight to the wash out the rematch was when Castillo didn't make weight. I posted this when it was widely circulated that 144 was the weight in contract, guess it was more complicated than that.

"....For all intents and purposes, this is a lot like Corrales-Castillo II, where Castillo came in overweight and Corrales took extra money to take the fight anyway. The heavier Castillo stopped Corrales (who had broken his tail to make 135 pounds) early in one of the least satisfying rematches you'll ever see."

So I'm reading about the fight, trying to find a stream for the 24/7 Overtime, and get a link to badlefthook.com where a mere 2-3 hours after I posted the Castillo-Corrales II similarities some site writer posted it midway down his article. Little did he know at the time my idea would be misunderstood and claimed completely wrong by the posters here. ™


May he suffer the same wrath. I wonder if I was plagiarized™
