Corrales, Castillo part III set on June 3
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Diego Corrales and Jose Luis Castillo will fight for the WBC lightweight title June 3 in Las Vegas. The fighters have split two previous meetings. The third bout was announced Tuesday. Corrales is 40-3 with 33 knockouts. Castillo, a former two-time WBC lightweight champion, is 54-7-1 with 47 knockouts. Corrales won their first bout on a 10th-round TKO that gave him the WBC title in May 2005 in Las Vegas. Castillo won the rematch five months later with a fourth-round knockout. But Corrales earned the WBC title when Castillo failed to make the 135-pound limit and one of his camp members was caught trying to tamper with the scale at the weigh-in. "It will not be easy, but I will definitely make the weight this time," Castillo said. "I expect another great fight, just like out first two." The 12-round bout will be held at the Thomas & Mack Center.-AP
