Corrales Appeals Castillo Rematch Call

[A.GEEZY]

I wanna see a rematch,how bout ya'll

MEXICO CITY - Lightweight champion Diego Corrales has appealed a World Boxing Council order for an immediate rematch with the man he beat to take the title, Jose Luis Castillo of Mexico.

According to a statement released Thursday by the Mexico City-based WBC, the U.S.-born Corrales (41-2) said the governing body almost never requires immediate rematches and it should allow him an intermediate fight before he has to defend his title against Castillo.

Castillo (52-7-2) twice knocked down Corrales during a long and brutal title bout on May 7 in Las Vegas. But Corrales prevailed when referee Tony Weeks ended the fight at 2:06 of the 10th round, with Castillo on the ropes and taking tremendous punishment to the head.

Castillo appealed to the WBC for an immediate rematch, claiming Weeks unintentionally took too long to count out Castillo after the knockdowns. The council ruled the two should fight again as soon as possible, prompting Corrales' appeal.

The WBC said it would refer Corrales' objection to its appeals committee.

Both fighters have good input on the issue.
I want to see them fight again, but when they are both ready.

They should fight again ASAP, Corrales sounds scared of Castillo.

its a hard choice for chico cause he keeps fighting the best & although hes won alot
of em hes taken alot of punishment. he may be considering a step up against hatton
but more likely corrales will fight a lesser opponent then rematch castillo.
or have another longish layoff

Yea, I'd love to see a rematch with Castillo, but I agree Corrales and Hatton would probably be more interesting. Hatton's technique really isn't all that great, but he has hella endurance.
