Pretty simple question here: Which was the better fight? I prefer Barrera vs Morales I. It had a great rivalry and those guys really had genuine animosity towards each other. The fireworks were insane and they showed more skills while fighting. Which one did you prefer and why?
Barrera- morales 1 is the best fight ever
I agree with this.....
in my opinion anyway ... it was the best fight eve, better than the Thrilla in Manilla, Rumble in the jungle, Ward Gatti I etc
I didn't like Corrales Castillo until the end... Before that, they were just throwing punches... There was no real drama until the 10th round... Nor was there any real skilled fighting going on... They were just throwing punches
Gatti Ward is still my favorite fight of all time
It was a pretty close fight. I think I may have had Castillo up going into that RD. The two KD's made it clear to me that Corrales would need a KO.
Well the thing is, in the 2 previous rounds, Castillo looked like he was on the verge of getting stopped.
In terms of live, holy **** balls this is a great fight kind of thing you can't really beat that fight, but in terms of something to rewatch, once you know the outcome, that dramatic ending isn't really as dramatic any more, and if you have seen 2 or 3 rounds of that fight, you have seen the whole fight.
Its lots of action, but not much tactical give and take like a Barrera v Morrales or a Marquez Vazques.
Also, I don't think it was THAT close. The fight was a dick swinging contest, and Corrales was clearly throwing the more hurtful shots all night.
Don't get me wrong, Castillo v. Corrales I was a fantastic fight, spent entirely in the center of the ring, but I feel part of the mystique of the fight is the comeback in the 10th round, wich wasn't really a comeback because Corrales was winning fairly comfortably at that point I think.
Barrera v. Morales was a much more skilled affair, while still containing much action. It was more variety. Corrales v. Castillo was round after round of the same thing over and over.
I also prefer Marquez v. Vazquez II over Corrales v. Castillo I

Castillo-Corrales is my favorite. I lost my mind when I saw that ending the first time. Still an unbelievable finish no matter how many times I watch it. It's like a damn movie, only a lot better.
Can't i just kick everyone out of the house cut off my phone and watch both all day?
That would be ideal. I think everyone would like to do that.

Castillo VS Corrales 1 was the better fight for me. I still ask myself when I see the 10th round on how Corrales did it. It's one of those moments where you wonder...was it even real...how could he do something impossible...
oh men, this is a tough one. both fights were awesome. morales-barrera I was definitely an electrying barn burner but the corrales-castillo I was an all out brawl in the center of the ring with a spectacular ending. i can't believe i'm saying this but i would have to side with corrales-castillo I just because of how corrales came back after those knock downs and tko'ed castillo. gives me goosebumps whenever i watch it.
Corrales' come from behind stoppage, I get a weird sensation every time I see that. Just amazing!actually i feel you on this. goosebumps man. the ultimate show of machismo. anything to win. anything!
Corrales-Castillo was a premier example of inside fighting, my favorite thing to watch, so I enjoyed it much more. Not to mention the crazy ending.
yep. way more dramatic finish.
The reason why Im tempted to vote for Castillo-Corrales. But I don't think Im gonna vote tho.
