RIP “Chico” Corrales. Corrales vs Castillo was a legendary night!

I lost my voice screaming at the TV during that fight. Those two put it all on the line and you couldn’t help but think neither fighter would be the same after that epic fight.

I remember the fight was about to start within an hour, but I instead left and hung out with some friends.

Went to the barbershop the next day and the whole shop couldn't stop talking about it. I was kicking myself.

As far as I can tell, Woods is the only one claiming Corrales had bronchitis that night. What's most notable about this article from 2001 is that Cameron Dunkin and some guy called Barrett Silver were trying to take nearly a third of his purse. Was he always just a leech?

According to the court papers that were filed, Dunkin is to receive $140,000 and Silver $280,000 as their portions of Corrales' $1.4 million purse. An attached copy of the contract between the parties indicates Dunkin is entitled to 10 percent and Silver is entitled to 20 percent of the purses of Corrales' fights.

Great fight. Stat making performance by Floyd. Last fight he was the underdog.

Why didn't he fight Kostya next ?

Why didn't he fight Kostya next ?

He was too small and his hands was hurting.

Standard Floyd Boy excuse.

Respect to Diego,he never made excuses.But Mayweather never showed that kind of power before or since.Something was off with Corrales that night.That being said it probably wouldn’t have changed the outcome as Floyd was sharp as a razor.
