ON MAY 7TH THE WHISKERS WILL WIN...

By Jim Amato



 

 


 
   On May 7th we may have the opportunity to witness a very strong candidate for "Fight Of The Year." On that date the murderous punching Diego Corrales takes on the granite jawed Jose Luis Castillo. Something has got to give.
 
   For Corrales to win he has to fight a disciplined fight. In other words he must approach this fight with a degree of  controlled anger. He must land his jab and his power shots and then avoid being drawn into an exchange or a "shootout."

   Castillo's boxing ability is not going to draw comparisons to Willie Pep. Basically he is a methodical plodder who is very adept cutting off the ring. It is up to Diego to avoid getting pinned and pummeled.

 
   I just don't think Corrales will be able to. We'll see...
