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.

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:

Definitely, spitting out your mouthpiece to buy time is cheating, it's also a sign of resignation in boxing. Weeks took away a point, but he could have DQ'd Chico. That does take away a bit of the luster from Corrales comeback, but he bought himself time to recover, pretty cagy if you ask me, sometimes when your ass is on the line you have to improvise.Quote:

You gotta see it. It's all in YouTube.
Yeah Castro sparking Jackson has always been my favourite come from behind win.
Carl Thompson sparking Sebastian Rothmann is up there as well for me. Rothmann was so in control he started taking the piss.
Ali's comeback against Foreman was one of the best...ropeadope for round after round then bashing Foreman with that amazing combo was one of the best!!!
job biscuit (oh yes)!!!
eh eh!!!
Yes it is.. at least the best ive seen in my lifetime, LIVE..
This is the fight that turned my friend into a hardcore boxing junkie... This dude used to shit on boxing all the time but once I got him high, drunk, and let him watch this fight, this foo turned into a boxing lunatic after.. Dude would call me every other day and ask when the next boxing match is haha.
:D and I love you... :lickish:Quote:
