I like Castillo... and think he was robbed in the first fight to be honest... but I voted for Corrales..

I want Castillo to win, but I think Corrales will use his advantages this time and make it an easy fight. I think he will box and hurt Castillo early and keep him at bay then stop him late.

Though, it's never really an easy fight with Castillo

I think it was a correct decision , Castillo was out on his feet was against the ropes and wasn't throwing back . His hands were down by his side and Corrales had caught him with 7 clean punches on the chin .

Castillo said after the fight something along the lines off : I was out on my feet but the ref should have waited till I took another few punches before stopping the fight .

In a way it was an early stoppage and if Castillo had only hit the deck I don't think the ref would have stopped it , nor should he but I think if Castillo had been hit with one or two more power punches most people would agree the fight should be stopped and Corrales was about to land those power punches as Castillo had no defense and could have been seriously hurt . If you can have a look at Castillo on the ropes(I only rewatched this yesterday and its definetly worth a look) . Theres no way in hell he's either going to get off them (without Corrales knocking him off them) or throw back punches or even put a guard up .

I can't wait , its gonna be great .

I think the stoppage was a TAD early but I cant argue with it, but I'm talking about the mouthpiece incident which bought Corrales lots of valuable seconds after he had been knocked down. Castillo has recently said, "Where I come from, talking th mouthpiece out is a sign of surrender!".

It will be a cracker of a fight no doubt about it

I'm picking Castillo by KO, just a gut feeling. It's gonna be damn near impossible for this fight to be as memorable as the first...but lets hope so

That was just plain smart by Corrales , he would have been blasted out of there had he not done it and it gave him the time to recover . it didn't matter that he lost a point because after the second knockdown he needed a knockout anyway .

corslles to win on points, will be a tough fight for both of them, but he knows after the last one he has to do it in style...

It's interesting that the bookies have made Corrales a slight favourite. However, I'm sticking with Castillo by KO. It's gonna be a great fight that's for sure.

Castillo didn't make the weight so no titles are on the line , he also looked really ****ty so im changing my decision to Corrales with a late TKO .

Geiger

Corrales on points

Yeah, what a real shame about those belts not being on the line. Couldn't believe Castillo was overweight. Not sure who to pick anymore, guess I'll decide closer to the fight.

Big Ears

Corrales on points

Castillo fired his trainer 2 weeks before the fight , that might have something to do with it .

Geiger

Corrales on points

Ach, you know since I've already voted in the poll (Castillo by KO) I might as well stick with it. Of course I was a lot more confident when I cast my vote but anyways.

Geiger

Corrales on points

Argh, just realised the fight is on SS2 and not 1 or 3. Since I don't have sky sports 2 this really, really sucks. Disappointed as hell

Have to say I'm happy for Castillo. I won't be at home to see the replay on SS1 tonight so maybe I'll see it online. I've read the basic fight reports but would anyone like to give their account of the fight? It would have been nice if the belts had been on the line but in a fight as big as this one it doesn't really matter. Now for part 3...

i watched the fight...it was shaping up to be as good as the first...toe to toe no quarter given until castillo nearly took corrales head off with a left hook...
i disappointed with corrales's defense....he was being caught with the left everytime it was thrown....
although i think castillo is slightly the better fighter, corrales could really hurt him if he tightened up his defense.....ah well looking forward to part three...hope its goes longer than 4 rounds though ....

i dont think the extra couple pounds made that much difference to the result
