    And Corrales-Castillo 1 was probably the reason everything went downhill for Chico since then. You don't block flush shots with your face.
    Yeah you're right castillo unanimously won in most people's eyes

      That ain't boxing. That's straight CTE.
      Did you just suddenly learn about CTE?

      Is this some kind of gimmick you feel proud of knowing ?

          Yea this was around when I got my first HD TV and it wasn't even 50" lol. I cant believe this fight is 18 years old because it literally feels like yesterday.

          Chico-Castillo is the greatest fight Ive ever seen live from what I remember. Marquez-Vazquez is up there too but it wasnt as dramatic.

              Great fight to watch, both were one of the best the lightweight division had to offer in the early 2000s which was stacked.

                      Some ''fight'' fans want to downgrade this all time classic due to Chico spitting out the mouth piece.
                      Had Weeks not taken a pt away, ok.
                      But he did.

                      It was a smart move on Chico's part.
                      Some boxers uses low blows to fake being hurt.
                      Refs give them almost 3 minutes to ''recover''.
                      Chico was given an extra 10 seconds !!!
