they deserved 100 million bucks for that fight.

those 2 could have had the appropriate fight rivalry if they didnt throw them back in the ring only 5 months after that...hell both of them shouldnt have fought for the rest of that year

i said to myself and posted in some places was like both of them would be out of the sport within 3 years of that fight..unfortunately i was right about chico :to:; JLC i should have been right about when I watched him just get beaten up by Sebastian Lujan on FNF in 2008..that was the fight that let me know he was done at the high level..but he still fights:francis:

I just watched this on Showtime Anytime and my god :damn:

This was a war :wow:

That 10th rd was one of the greatest things ive ever seen in sports :banderas:
Them boys were phonebooth fighting landing some makers. I dont know how Castillo didnt go down after some of those uppercuts and I dont how Corrales got up twice in 1 rd

This match was :whew:

Best I've Ever Faced - Jose Luis Castillo - The Ring - The Bible of Boxing - News, Videos, Events and Ratings

i was surprised he didnt mentioned Diego in anything until I remembered that Diego sued him after the rubber match (because jose couldnt make weight fell) through for a lot of money

I like reading those, but often times you can just see their ego and personal feelings get in the way. Like Azumah Nelson doesn’t even mention Pernell Whitaker on any category, or Lennox Lewis saying Razor Ruddock had the best jab. Lewis knocked Ruddock on his ass for throwing a lazy jab.

The funniest one was Pernell Whitaker. Every single category, he just talks about how great he is.
