Awesome fight, no doubt. However, I feel that Castillo at least deserved a chance by having a knockdown be called. This is especially true after Diego got valuable time by purposefully spitting out his mouthpiece earlier. That took a little away from it for me.

But a great, great fight.

he was deducted a point for that. and prior to the ref's halting of the fight, there's still 54 seconds left in the round.. i think the decision by weeks to stop it was just alright, castillo was defenseless and corrales could have made a lot of damages to castillo if the ref had let it go on.

It was a great fight and I did think that the stoppage was a good one. Castillo hands were at his hips and his head on laying on the ropes. You don't want to see a boxer get permanetly hurt, hopefully we'll see a rematch
