Castillo vs. Corrales I

Alright guys..this is 12:10 am on sunday night I I gotta wake up in 6 hours and I've been drinking like a mutha.

So Maybe this is why I feel like bringing up Castillo vs Corrales I.

What a f*cking fight. I love these men in a non-homosexual way. But I do love them by any means for what they did that night. I mean...I've watched this fight over 10+ times which is a lot for me and I still can't help but get excited for what these men of MEN brought inside the ring that night. Now, that stoppage was completely warrented imo; because althouhgh Castillo was romping the help out of Corrales and knocked him down twice corrales busted him real bad and it was needed.

Though many feel it's a shame that the 3rd fight never occured..you know what I say? What the hell! These guys let it ALL out and they deserved to be praised for what they did.

I don't criticize Castillo for not making weight for the 3rd bout. Yeah, I would have loved to f*cking see it but you know what...how many times do you see two people put it all out there like they did? Castillo is a warrior as is Corrales and they will both go down in time as such...f*ck the rubber match.. Castillo-Corrales I Is a fight that needs to be remembered no matter what. I worship these muthas for what they did and nothing but respect for both of them even if they screw chickens from here on...






**Please no sc's for this!

No SC's ? ? ? ? ?

Where I'm from theres a saying that goes "In this world theres only 2 types of people that tell the truth little kids & drunk people"

Your just speaking your heart and thats great that watching that fight does that for you I know exactly how you feel. I was there that night so I can relate to what your saying about them leaving it all in that ring that night. I remember as Castillo walked passed me in ringside and I snaped this picture I tought to myslef breath it all in enjoy this enjoy watching him walk out of the ring, enjoy Chico raising his hands and lifting the belt cuz this is once in a lifetime moments and I know I probably wont ever again witness something as savaging but yet so glorious as I did that night.

Cutme, a part of me is JEALOUS you got to be at that fight! What an experience that must have been! I loved seeing winky and toney in the background standing and yelling..even they were completely absorbed in it. Glad you posted a pic of it...great job man and Im happy you got to be there to experience it. I'l rememer to CC you everytime I log in and karma doesnt prevent me from it ;)

That bout really was something though. I feel kinda dumb bringing it up long enough after it happened to be considered "old" yet short enough to be considered a "classic" but that's what it was..Mucho respect to you hombre! Can't believe you were there...must of been one of your best experiences at ringside ever?

**well cutme, I guess I already cc'd you today becaue karma wont let me do it agian! Now if only you cut down on that Margarito love I could cc you alot more ;)

I tell 'ya dasaam that whole experience was something else, I mean the tickets where given to me by some 'red neck' (A good friend of mine who had just retired 1 month prior to the fight and settled in Vegas) he won the tickets on a radio station and called me friday at noon and in his Oklahoman accent he tells me 'Somabitch I just got a phone call they tells me I won these tickets to some fight out here these 2 little Mexicans fighting or somep' in' (hes a casual boxing fan) he tells me you want the tickets? I was like who is it? Don't tell me you won tickets to Castillo-Corrales he was like "Hell I dunno" do you want them or not? I was like yeah!! yeah! I want them. He calls me about 2 hrs. later 'Hey somabitch I went to pick up the tickets it is for Castilo-Corrals ;D thats how he pronounced the names. I was like no fwocken way.....

Anyway.... Thanks for the CC's ;) No need to feel dumb about bringing it up shet! thats the beauty of this sport its brutal yet so many emotions are involved.

As a matter a fact it is the best fight I have ever attended and like I said I don't I'll ever witness something like that again.

About Margarito thats the beauty about this forum we can be all cheers and cc's in one thread but on different ends in another. Just the other night with frozensolid702 in a Mayweather-ODLH thread we dished it out yet he created a new thread where I agreed with him and CC'ed him for the news on Taylor-Winky.
:) Thats just the way it goes here in the end it's all in good spirit.

CC's to both of ya! ;)

never seen the fight only seen 10th round

great fight go download now ! ;)

yea i am now bro

I love Goosen after the second knockdown:

"You better fucking get inside on him NOW!" - the rest is history. ;D

yeah Goosen is a great guy to have in your corner ! phenomenal coach

I think the whole fight is still on youtube, don't even need to download it that's how I first saw it... The 8th round has to be one of the best rounds ever..

Corrales-Castillio 1 without question will go down as one of the greatest fights ever---It ranks up there with...Hagler/Hearns..Ali/Frazier 1 and the Ward Gatti trilogy

Just rewatched it ,too and it's definitiv one of the best fights ever...
Would have really liked it,if they would have done it a third time...
But looking forward to Corrales vs Casamayor III ... 8)

Yep it was definitely one of the greatest slugfests I've ever seen. The final round was just absolute mayhem. Although I think Coralles may have 'cheated' a little by repeatedly spitting out his gumshield, Castillo's cheating behaviour by not even bothering to make weight for the following two fights more than made up for it.

In one way I'm glad there was no third fight because I'm a huge fan of Coralles and I really couldn't see him winning against Castillo.

I think if the pair of them fought 10 time Coralles would be lucky to win twice, but he's a lion and I was cheering at the tv when he knocked Castillo out!

dasaam you know theres another GREAT fight I would recomend you watch. If you could get your hands on....


Humberto 'La Chiquita' Gonzalez vs. Michael 'Little Hands of Stone' Carbajal I

What a fight I remember watching this fight when I was 12 my jaw hit the floor, when the fight was over my uncle got up from the floor cuz thats where he always sat on fight nights hit the rewind button and we watched it over.

Thanks for the recommendation Cutme, cc in another 24! Do you know a good place to find it?

Also, for anyone that uses itunes you can download some Showtime bouts on it now for $1.99 each. All they have so far is Castillo-Corrales I and II and Calzaghe-Lacy. Needless to say I downloaded all 3! Good quality (though not near dvd quality) and pretty fast download times compared to anyother place. If anyone else here hasn't seen Castillo-Corrales I then I suggest you drop $2 and get it off itunes so you can enjoy it fully instead of squinting at blurry youtube uploads!

wow I didn't know Showtime did that! It makes you wonder though how the movie studios can justify charging probably $15 dollars to download a movie when you get a great fight for $2. I know which I'd rather see.

I just send you a PM. :)

Castillo vs Corrales was described by Jim Watt, the annoying scot from UK boxing coverage as "The greatest fight I have ever seen!" As time goes on it's dawned on me that these words are true, as a fan who stayed up till 4am watching this live, I can say its one of the greatest nights of my life, unforgetable, the fight had everything, from the way Corrales chose to brawl, Castillo's legs dipping as he took bombs, something we've never seen before, low blows going amiss, Castillo knocking corrales's head around, then as he looks to be fading knocking corrales almost out twice, which seemed to be a last ditch effort because he was spent, Corrales finding something nobody though was left and stopping it with seconds to go in the round.... What more could you ask for!?! One thing that is significant about that fight is, Castillo never got knocked off his feet. How I don't know, I respect him for how he fights, but his unprofessionalism makes me sick. Castillo vs Corrales isn't just about 2 fights and the one that didn't happen, its a chapter in boxing, a sign of the times and is more bitter-sweet than a lemon covered in caramel.

This fight is in my top 3 fights of alllll time,I have never ever seen anything like it in my life,and that 10th round,wow??!!?!!? I was listening to an interview with Dan Goosen,Diego's trainer and he said he was glad that these guys did not fight each other again,he said it was like 25 fights in 1 and also said that after the fight,Castillo did not leave his house for 1 MONTH>?! Corrales was also in hospital and when they took him to hospital ,Goosen said he urinated a BUCKET of blood,and he showed the size of the bucket with his hands,it was A BIG bucket?!

Just a note,Goosen also said he told Corrales he beat onw of the best Welterweights on the planet and when asked about JLC's move to 140,he said there was no way he would make that weight either,for the second fight,Dan said he was struggling with 140,he was laying down at the weigh in with a towel on his face,his eyes were in the bag of his skull and he was INCREDIBLY pale!?!

CC Mick,another fight in my top5 was Carbajal and Gonzalez,I really liked Carbajal and what a way to end you career,by koing Arce. That fight was awesome too,I LOVE Carbajals reaction when he knocked Gonzalez down and this was after he got knocked down twice and had lost practically the whole match!

Anyone seen the next 2 fights of their trilogy?

I've seen all 3, but neither compares to the 1st like in most trilogys. The second was a bit shocking to see how Gonzalez was able to win rd. after rd. I'm still not sure what happend to Carbajal that night my uncles told me at that time and even now when we talk that he was already starting to have problems within his team & personal (Alcohol). Don't quote me. The 3rd match was a good fight close fight Carbajal was more in tact and boxed around more then usual, IMO Gonzalez was the agressor and the one who looked for the fight and took the initiation.
Great trilogy.

What do you search under on itunes to find the bouts? Can't find anything under e.g. Calzaghe, Castillo etc but maybe that's cos I'm in the uk?

Carbajal Gonzalez is incredible. Another epic I recommend is Danny 'Little Red' Lopez v Mike Ayala from 1979 - that might be my favourite fight ever.

Fuck. It's just not happening - have had this problem with iTunes before - couldn't download Don Henley 'Boys of Summer' on the UK version. :-[

(slightly embarrassing to admit that)
