I dont want to sound condescending.....but I have watched thousands of fights. I download and watch them all the time. That fight was the best fight I have ever watched, and made Gatti V.S. Ward.......Hagler V.S. Hearns.....Holy V.S. Bowe.....look like "School Plays" like Round 1 said.
Tell 'em Run LOL
Guys, Diego "out-Gatti-ed" Gatti & he "out-Hagler-ed" Hagler, all in one fight! :eek:
And let's not sell Castillo short either. He took MONSTER shots all night long & put up with that nasty cut for the last half of the fight, things that if he'd survived them to come back & drop his man twice like that in 99.999% of other fights would have led him to certain victory. But, Carrales somehow, someway came up with that little bit extra to claim victory for himself.
I have to say that it was, indeed, the VERY best fight I've ever seen.
And believe me, this isn't coming from some "Johnny come lately" or "casual fan". FAR from it.
At 43, I'm probably the oldest bloke on these boards or at least close to it & I've been a die hard boxing fan since I was 14 WAY back in 1976. So, as far as boxing fandom is concerned, I'm so old I crap dust! :p
Seriously though, I have watched the vast majority of the fights that have been televised on network, cable, closed circuit & PPV over the course of the past 29 years. So, that's a LOT of boxing! And, in that period of time, I've seen a helluva lot of great fights. Throw in the hundreds of tapes that I've watched of fights that took place before "my time" & I think you have to give me credit for having a pretty damn large "memory bank" of boxing matches to reference. And, I can't come up with one better than last night's contest.
Sure, it's not an exact science by any means & it's subjective as hell, so there are probably some who will disagree with me on this, but I'm claiming it as not just the fight of the year or the fight of the decade or the fight of the my lifetime, but as the best fight EVER!

absolutely. Greatest Fight of all time in my opinion. Made Gatti V.S. Ward look boring.

The thing I love about this fight is that it had a very definate ending. There was no contraversy. It had a huge climax. The only way I could see a better match would be a rematch and a knockout in the 12th round.
Its a great fight, makes me want to watch it again, but I wouldnt say its better than Gatti/Ward, and speak for yourself next week their is another great fight, Trinidad vs. Winky, which is extactly "more like this", somebody wanted these two close to each others date, I'm actualy re-watching it right now on DVD.
I am pumped up for Winky vs Tito but I dont think it will be an all out war. It is either going to be a boxing lesson or a one sided beating.
Winky doesnt have the balls to stand and trade with Tito and if he does he gets KTFO.
The fight was way better than anything we have seen from morales and barrera in their wars....Truly a great fight and I cant see any other fighters giving us a fight this crazy.
When you have a guy who comes forward and throws punches at odd angles and another guy who wont budge and stands still and throws power punches. This is what you get.....
On top of that, this is what happens when 2 champions fight each other. Boxing needs so much more of this.
Unfortunately after the kick ass fight we had last night the next upcoming weeks of boxing looked great but now look like duds compared to last nights bout.
The Best Fight I Have Ever Seen! Wtf!!!!
wow i thought i was watching the craziest fight when i saw JORGE ARCE vs. HUSSY HUSSEIN, BUT DAMN!!!! This fight was truly a crazy ass fight. WTF.......Corrales proved he has a heart of a fuckin elephant for his skinny body. Props to both fuckin warriors. SHIT! :boxing: :boxing: :boxing: :boxing:
What a fight that was. I had a hard time deciding who to give the rounds to often enough and I had no idea who was going to win it. I think that was a good stoppage. Castillo was like a rag doll those last seconds and could have been seriously and permanantly injured if Weeks didn't stop that fight. I sure hope they have a rematch down the line at some point.
Someone hook a brutha up with the kind of wheaties Chico ate before entering this fight please. I will donate some points in doing so.
You must be talking about menudo, the breakfast of champs.

those people thinking the fight shouldve gone on haven't seen the emile griffith story.
the ropes were the only thing holding the poor guy up...there was absolutely no complaining from castillo or the castillo camp, until the one little comment in the post fight interview AFTER he gathered himself, which is expected.
You got that shit on point. There was no argument coming from Castillos's corner till after the fight.

Ya I agree
Castillo was gonna go down either way
Castillo aint discgraced at all....
If the ref never stopped it Castillo could have been REALLY hurt
