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. 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 to really get excited for this one (much less shell out $50 to see it on PPV) but i hope it is a fitting end to the trilogy. he first one was just such a great fight, if this is half of that fight then people got their money's worth imo.
