Re: Castillo vs. Corrales I
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.
Remember the good old days, we miss you Marco!
