Ok guys, corrales came in over and your all saying how he said it was bad of castillo well are you guys forgetting castillo didnt do it once...HE DID IT TWICE! Fighters come in overweight occasionally, it happens...but castillo did it twice! So dont go acting like corrales has done the same thing castillo did. It was obvious both time castillo had no intention on coming in on weight. And corrales fought castillo the first time he was over weight so it aint the same kind of situation.

That is what makes this much worse cause it's like the national spokesman against the N.R.A. decides to go on a killing spree and afterwards say "Guns are still wrong."

I think this last quote is a little over the top, he let himself down sure but I'm certain nobody feels worse both physically and mentally right now than Corrales.

As Snakey said Castillo did it twice to Corrales.

It does seem wrong to me however that fighters are even allowed to fight at a weight that is clearly well below their normal bodyweight.

I'm amazed that in todays world where safety is a priority that it's not illegal for a man with a clear size advantage exploiting the weigh ins to fight somebody naturally smaller than them. It's not just Corrales pretty much every fighter in the lower divisions is guilty of it.

I think the weigh in should be on the day of the world putting a stop to all this nonsense once and for all.

By the way Jorge Barrios failed to make weight against Guzman and was consequently stripped last month and I don't remember a single person criticisng him at all.

Even Lampley and all said he had had real weight problems before the fight and that it might have taken it's toll on him.

But when Castillo and now Coralles do it, they are seen to be gaining an advantage


Boxing confuses me sometimes :P
