    Rosario make Corrales spit out his mouth guard just like Castillo, this time their won't be a miraculous comeback.

    Didn't Corrales weigh 170 pounds when he weight in at 148/149 against Clottey?

    Insane.

    this is a real good matchup,

    id go with corrales, he had very good boxing skills despite all the knockdowns, also i believe much physically stronger then rosario which would take its toll in the later rounds.

    I would put my money on Edwin more often then not but Diego is a real punchers chance..as real as you are going to get, I can envisage him pulling out the KO. But I think the smart money is on the overall better Rosario.

    I think Edwin would get his ko here, i dont underrate Corrales though like others do, as much as he wasn't the best schooled or skilled, man was a top level warrior with a massive will to win that usually meant he did.

    Also, i think Jose Luis Castillo is being underrated again

    Rosario would stop Corrales before the 10th. I'm a fan of Chico, but it's become such a cliche to call him underrated he has in turn become overrated IMO

    Rosario sometimes gets underrated IMO due to his dismantling at the hands of Chavez. Rosario was very, very good. Rosario - Bramble keeps coming to mind, and I think that could happen, but I'd say Rosario gets a late round stoppage. I just think Corrales with the shaky defense would take too many bombs from Rosario.
