Diego Corrales vs Jose Luis Castillo

[DaxxKahn]

Abruptly? Would've been interesting to see who would've won the fight if it had've gone to the judge's scorecards.

Corrales was up on 2 of the judges cards

Assuming he hadn't have got the TKO and the fact he was knocked down, the scores would've been level going into the final round? Would've been the right way for the fight to end imo.

The right way for a fight to end is both men doing their best be it to win a KO, keep boxing till the final bell rings or go for the KO...Other then that I can not understand what you mean by right way to end?

Sorry I didn't explain that very well. What I meant was no fighter deserved to lose that fight. Both put in the performances of their lives and a just way for the fight to end, would've been for it to have gone to the judges cards. And then for it to be resulting in a draw. In a perfect world.

IMO it is the greatest fight of all time. I will one day get the Richard Slone painting of the fight tattooed onto my midsection. Best fight of all time is subjective, why would you object to someone calling it their favorite?

Agreed both men fought their hearts out shame there was a loser

Corrales castillo is my favorite of all time. I can still remeber watching it the first time....I went out drinking all night and had taped the fight. Next morning I popped it in when I woke up at 2pm and was at the edge of my bed after a couple rounds.....forgot about my hangover.

One of the best ever. Must dig it out soon!

MAB-Morales just can't be beaten IMO, it's like a great fight with a ton of polish, almost pure boxing perfection and match making heaven, all rolled into the heart and determination of two guys that would not be denied.

I don't think half of that even makes sense but that's my effort of trying to describe how I feel watching it.

I agree. Like usual. I think we've discussed this several thousand times over the years. Corrales - Castillo is arguably my second favorite fight of all time, but nothing I've seen has ever topped MAB - Morales I.

Corrales-Castillo is my top 5, but ALi-Frazier I was and still is my no. 1. Both undefeated HW champions in their physical prime with different segments of American society backing one guy over the other. Fast paced and action packed also.
