When the highly anticipated rubber match with Jose Luis Castillo is called off due to Castillo's repeated failures to make weight, WBC Lightweight Champion Diego Corrales turns his attention toward a rubber match with Joel Casamayor instead. Ironically coming to the scales overweight, Corrales loses his title on the scales but goes through with the bout anyway. Corrales scores a disputed knockdown but ultimately loses a split decision to Casamayor.
