Hmmm.... good fight. I think Pacs speed, southpaw stance, and straight punches would be the deciding factor in this fight, and while Corrales will give as always, a respectable and worthy effort, i feel he would fall short in this fight with Pac.... I think Pacs power and speed would just be too much for Corrales to overcome, with him walking into pacs best shots down the stretch and not making it through. Pac TKO 9 Just IMO
Hindsight being 20/20,that's a fight that SHOULD have been made that would satisfy all the "EM was shot" crowd. Would have been a great fight too. RIP Corrales. I remember his viewing was before my church elder who passed away on the same weekend. I remember the crowd walking out. It was out in South Las Vegas if I recall..
RIP Corrales, one of my favorite fighters.... I genuinly miss him in boxing. A warrior with not an ounce of quit in him and willing to test himself against anyone.
IMO, Chico would have murdered PAcman.. Pacman's speed will cause some problem but Chico has great sense of timing on his punches and he's beaten fast fighters like a prime Casa, a southpaw, and freitas... Pac gets caught with a lethal left hook while rushing in wrecklessly and gets taken out on a stretcher in round 8..
I think its more then just Pacs speed, its the fact that they will be clashing aggressively, and at the end of pacs speed, at 130, is some devistating power as well, and unlike many fighters with speed, who throw from the outside a few shots at a time, Pac throws heavy and aggressive combos with that speed/power. Like Morales said, it wasnt exactly the one punch SPEED of Pac (corrales has faced many fast one punch fighters) as much as it was the quickness of his combinations which made the difference (corrales hasnt faced many fighters that put together quick and devistating 3, 4, 5 punch combos like pac does), and i think it will make the difference here. Not only that, but i think that Pac can take Corrales's punches better then i think Corrales could take Pacs, because i dont think Corrales will see Pacs punches coming. Chico gets knocked down waaaaaay too much against speed fighters for me to think he has a realistic shot at winning this unless he stops pac. And i dont think he stops Pac. So even if i think Chico makes the final bell, which is quite possible, and even fights on even ground with Pac most of the way through, i see him getting knocked down somewhere throughout the fight, and maybe more then once, and if anything that would be the deciding factor. Just IMO though, i can def see how youd think that Corrales short and fast hooks would do some damage with a guy willing to meet Corrales at the center of the ring. Thinking about it, this would be one of the best fights i could possibly think of, would be an ATG fight, no doubt.
