The Sadness Of Chico & Castillo

[Gareth Ivanovic]

It hurt tonight to see Castillo go down the way he did. That body shot looked like it hurt him, but I thought for sure he was going to get up, but he didn't.

Gatti vs Castillo over ten rounds in AC. Anyone?

[McNulty]

Ya...I got choked up during that whole montage. After seeing it I really wanted to Castillo win. He's shot...still gamey though. Slower...

[BROOKLYN CESAR]

This is a heart breaking fact of life!!! Once your up there is nowhere to go but down!!! I feel for them!!! That fight was with out a doubt one of the best fights in the great history of boxing!!!!

[JOM'S]

I seriously doubt that. I think he is ready to retire and may even want to but the sad part is that I think he may be in bad shape finacially and will have to continue to fight because of it. I hope he doesnt continue until bums start killing him. That would be too sad but it may be heading that way

this even worst scenario than just retiring ...

i dont know why great figther like castillo WHO HAVE GAVE THE FANS SUCH GREAT FIGHTS to be in this much financial difficulty...tsk tsk...

After that montage I wanted Castillo to get roughed up and knocked out... well, half of it came true at least.

Michelle Corrales thanking Ricky was slightly strange, but also strangely fitting.

corrales is dead and their still fightin over money.

the careers these two guys had, they deserve to have millions for the training they did and the fights that came afterwards. they deserve to reap all and any benefits.


i guess shane mosleys wife was right, arum is a fat snake. there's no way either of these 2 guys should be stressin over cash after what they've sacrificed in and outside the ring. their money shouldnt be on either of thier minds.

thats exactly what i was thinking, the way he went down, the way he was looking at the count, i mean i got up to get another heineken cause i thought he was gonna shake it off.


but after, i realized, he's emotionally spent, physically spent, and its just his end.


i think watchin castillo's end, because he was so tough as a fighter...is like watchin someone like duran come to his last days. you just think they're gonna be strong forever, but the miles catch up to every man i guess. not sayin castillo was on durans level, but their toughness and durability against their opposition was the same. you just knew they were tough.

swear to god, that was one of the most awkward knock outs i've seen in a while.
