The only shots that effected Corrales by staggering him in the second fight was the counter shots that landed very flush. And that was a perfect left hook that would have knocked out anyone imo.

I was also shocked that Castillo was faster. Somebody posted the second fight around here somewhere.
But Corrales did take the shots better in the first fight, even some good counters. Now is that because of maybe wear and tear on Corrales from the first fight or Castillo being stronger? Maybe a bit of both. That being said the knockout punch was a perfect punch, the best punch landed by Castillo in either fight.

Either way I thought Castillo noticeably looked stronger, quicker, fresher in the second fight from round one on. That wasn't apparent the first fight.
Because Corrales' gameplan wasn't to stay in Castillo's chest the whole fight in the first fight, it just happened to turn out that way. His gameplan in the second fight was to make it live up to the first, thats a factor I think to why Castillo looked better, because Corrales tried a different game plan and had a different mentality.
