gatti vs. ward was a great fight and a war but castillo vs.corrales
was a better fight for one it was a champioship fight to determine the best at their division. it was also just as much of a war as gatti vs. ward but what makes it an overall better fight is the dramatic ending forget the mouthpiece to comeback from 2 knockdowns and win by k.o simply incredible..
Maybe you should watch the Gatti/Ward fight again.. Gatti boxed the first few rounds, after that it was a war.
Maybe you should watch it again, during the late rounds he started boxing again, so at least for half the fight he boxed.
Neither Corrales nor Catillo boxed at all during their war.
:boxing:
The Gatti/Ward fight, in fact all three, were more or less in Gatti's favor, and Ward only won the first one due to a scoring error (one knockdown does not = a 10-7 round. Plus, it wasn't even for a title.
Corrales/Castillo was a meeting of the two best fighters in their division to decide who the king was. On top of that, unlike Gatti/Ward 1, where Gatti boxed most of the fight and "stuck to his game plan", Corrales and Castillo both threw caution to the wind and traded blows in the center of the ring over 10 grueling rounds.
Corrales/Castillo is the better and far more significant fight.
Gatti/Ward to me is a wonderfully entertaining fight, but it doesn't reach the same level.

For me Its Gatti Vs Ward. They both had to gut it out. Going in I didn't think Ward could beat Gatti. But He just kept wearing Gatti down. And took some hellacious shots in the process. Both are great fights though.
I don;t see cinderella taking out her mouth piece to stall time.
A fighter getting knocked down twice in the round and then he goes on and stops the other fighter,Can't write it any better.
Corrales/Castillo was better,Ward/Gatti 1 was lopsided for the first two rounds while Corrales/Castillo was back and forth all night.Also Corrales/Castillo had a story book ending while Gatti/Ward really didn't.

Gatti/Ward was a great fight but Corrales/Castillo blows it out the water in my opinion.
Alot of people don't like inside fighting but inside fighting is much more punishing on the body and head. That fight was a clinic on how to fight on the inside.
