This Saturday Ring Magazine and WBC lightweight champ Jose Luis Castillo, 52-6-1 (46), squares off against two division and current WBO lightweight title holder Diego Corrales, 39-2 (32). Castillo, while not considered by every boxing fan to be the best fighter at 135, is the recognized Ring champion, and has done a fine job of establishing himself as the true man to beat in the division. Not to be outdone, Corrales has defeated crafty Cuban Joel Casamayor and knocked out the gifted (and then undefeated), but in my opinion overrated, Acelino Freitas.
This fight will determine without a doubt who is the man at 135. |
