My favourite fight of all time
Yeah, it's up there.
Castillos weakness for me once he turned 32 was he couldn't handle pressure fighters like Hatton and Lujan.
Lujan is one of my fav fighters but I didn't really want him to beat cas.
Same. I would tell anyone this is the greatest fight of all time. It is also the first fight I would show anyone who was new to boxing. If you're not hooked after watching that, I'd say there is something seriously wrong with you.Quote:

Yes
It's crazy to think I was there ringside for this great event...
Indeed it is one of the greatest comebacks. Is it the greatest?
I think that's up to interpretation.
"Locomotora" Castro vs. "Action" Jackson def deserves a mention.
Forward to the 6:30 mark... For those who are interested. Castro was getting beat in every sense of the word.

And I will forever hate you for this.Quote:

Gatti also some good ones.
I don't recall seeing this fight before Mick, good one. Castro looked like he was hurt and/or getting ready to be KTFO by Jackson after all the abuse he'd taken and then bam! one punch basically ends the fight. ;)Quote:

Do you think Corrales cheated by spitting out his gum shield to buy more time?
I wouldn't consider it cheating, just being smart. He needed those extra few seconds to recover. I think that's what added to the epicness of it all.Quote:
