Rib Injury forces Chico to pull out of Castillo fight!

Moments ago Diego Corrales promoter Gary Shaw informed Boxingtalk that lightweight king Diego Corrales has been forced to withdraw from his aniticipated February 4 rubbermatch with Diego Corrales. When did Shaw first hear of the news and what was his reaction? "I learned of the injury a couple of days ago. He was going to try to work through it. My first reaction was for his health. I felt that it he wasn't 100% this was too tough of a fight. Diego being the warrior he is, told me he was going to fight through it and go through with the fight. Then yesterday I got a call that he couldn't even run so he had to pull out. I feel sick to my stomach."  Shaw also said he was discussing a future date for the bout with Showtime and no replacements for Feb. 4 have been solidified as this goes to print.
