didn't even drop the two pounds

UPDATE #2: Corrales returned to the scale and weighed in at 139. Officials are now huddled together deciding whether the bout will take place or not.
UPDATE: Corrales stripped naked and weighed in again at 139.5 lbs. He now has two hours to lose two pounds, the maximum allowed by the Nevada Commission, which will result in Corrales losing his WBC championship on the scale.WBC lightweight champion Diego Corrales has weighed in five pounds over the lightweight limit. Joel Casamayor weighed in at the division limit of 135 on the first try.

Looks like the fight between Diego Corrales and Jorge Casamayor will go on. If Casamayor wins, he claims the WBC lightweight title outright. If Corrales (who forfeit the title on the scale) wins, the belt remains vacant, however Casamayor would be entitled to an immediate fight with WBC interim titlist David Diaz, even if he loses. There will be a second weigh-in Saturday at noon and neither can weigh over 147 lbs. Corrales will be fined $200,000 bu the Nevada Commission, $100,000 of which will go to Casamayor. There are still undisclosed issues ($$) between the camps, but as of now we have a fight.

yes there is def irony in this one having chico been the victim twice from castillllo. but i think its pretty hilarious how they are writing over and over again: DIEGO WAS STRIPPED COMPLETELY NAKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is getting out of hand, it's RRREEEE-DEE-CULOUS!!!!

The Athletic Commissions need to get thougher on these regulations about weight, I would suggest a years ban from Boxing that'll do the job.

This is great! After talkin so much shat bout Castillo, Corrales does the exact same thing in his next fight. Hilarious! I like Corrales, but maybe now he'll come off his high horse about the whole Castillo situation, maybe Showtime will too. This reminds me of Jesse James Leija. After he got screwed against Camacho Jr., after junior quit on a cut, was screaming "I've been fighting for 15 years, and I've been cut, and I fight through it, I don't quit". Then in his very next fight against Micky Ward, he gets cut, and quits. Or least allows it to be stopped like Camacho jr. did.

What makes me mad was Corrales saying on air that time for the third fight that didnt happen.

"Well he could have at least called me! That would have been the respectful thing to do. He could have called me and said "I cant make 135 anymore, lets try to do it at 137 or something" because fighters drain themselves to make weight, and it was disrespectful of him to allow me to get myself to 135 the morning of the fight knowing he was overweight."

Or something like that. And now..

that would be to honest to do......


Yeah... RAH-Diculous!

I was picking Casamayor to win by decision before the weigh in, but now I think he KO's Corrales. Corrales shouldn't be fighting at 135 anyway, I would have been happy to see them fight at 140. At least Casamayor ain't a little b*tch & is willing to fight unlike Corrales was in the 3rd with Castillo. Does Corrales know he can't beat Casamayor & tried to sobbatage the fight? To bad for him that Casamayor ain't gonna let him get out like that.

Corrales comments on weight!
"I pretty much killed myself to be here"
"I grabbed Casamayor’s hand after the weigh-in and apologized," said Diego Corrales after failing to make the 135lb lightweight limit, thus forfeiting his WBC title on the scale. "It’s not something I tried to do. I’ve been trying so hard to drop the weight, I was almost at the point of passing out this morning. Honestly, I’m responsible for my actions. I believe if you make a mistake, you should be punished. I made a mistake and should be punished. When I was at the 147 area a few weeks ago, I knew it might be tough to get down. I got down a bit and thought I might get there, but I just couldn’t crack 142 pounds. Every day, I trained, ate salad and still weighed 142 pounds. I was actually afraid I was going to pass out today – I worked out three times with no food or water. I just got done working out for two hours and only lost half a pound. That pretty much sums it up. I pretty much killed myself to be here at this fight." Corrales' trainer Joe Goossen added, "Monday was his last meal and it was a little bit of tuna and small salad. He’s been sucking on ice chips since."

Corrales had to drain weight last time to make 135, so he ballooned up to I think 149. Now if he's been draining himself as bad as he says then it might be hard to make 147 tomorrow.

i just hope the fight is worth the wait!!

forget it, picture won't work for some reason

Maybe fighters are just straining their bodies too hard to try and make an unrealistic weight. Fighters get pushed into having to starve themselves due to poor management, pressure to hold belts, and of course: no becoming a fatass like hatton.

All the things corrales put castillo through.. I felt BAD for castillo how everyone jumped on him and diego burned him and took him to court. Not to say he shouldnt have been screwed, castillo had it coming, but now corrales gotta feel that!

[Cortez The Killer]

I'm sorry, I dont think my post made any sense.




That's because i'm drunk..











On weed. And yayo. And $2.50 margaritas. Chain smoking cigs tonight and waking my ass up early to go running tomorrow.



But I am sorry that that post didnt make any sense.

They better ban Corrales. When Castillo was waiting for his hearing I said he should only be fined. But now that Corrales has done the same he better get the same punishment. At least Casamayor is willing to fight, I hope he knocks Corrales' a** out for being a chump!

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.
