Of course the Castillo fight... Me and my Fiance had broken up a month earlier and I was in a major rut nothing was making me happy or in a good mood, but at least watching the Yankees or the fights would at least get me buy...


Well I happened to fall asleep on the couch early the night of Diegos fight with Castillo. All of a sudden I can here Steve the Showtime announcer being alittle emphatic and dramatic enough to wake me out of my sleep, I think it was round 2-3... Well I enjoyed the rest of the fight, the back to back action the war of attricion on the inside. It was a see-saw battle that could of went either way, and then in the 10th when he got dropped, my heart sank and I was yelling at the TV for him to get up, after the mouthpiece went back in the fight resumes, a couple of left hooks later BOOM!! he go's down again. I am looking at the mouse under his eye and the bruising and beating on his face as he lifts himself off the canvas, and I'm thinking to myself that it was a great fight by both men a FOTY candidate, but just not Chico's night.... The fight resumes and my heart is still sunk and I'm thinking he will go down again and it will be a TKO...

Well Diego fends him of a little and then BOOM!! he lands a beautiful hook to stun Castillo and backs him to the ropes, Castillo is fighting back like the warrior he is, they fight to the other side of the ring and Castillo catches another thunderous hook, followed by the sequence of answered punches and then the pinnacle....Tony Weeks waves it off TKO FOR DIEGO!!!!

I dont think I had ever been on an emotional rollercoaster watching a fight as much as I was in a 2min span... to go from the lowest of lows as a fan to the highest of highs, it was tremendous. and I maintain to this very day that I have never seen in my whole life a more courageous showing in a boxing ring than that comeback by Diego, stuff of legends  

Consequently enough it was the next day that I started visibly snapping out of the funk I was in from losing my Fiance'   Thanks Diego
