Did MouthPiece Trick Save Chico?

[bonafuwa]

The mouthpiece thing definitely helped Chico. Him saying he only wanted ti hold it and put it back in but it fell was total bull****, but I am sooo glad he won.

Definitely the best fight I have ever seen. Definitely the most dramatic round I have ever seen. Rematch anyone?

forget all the other times because he was still alright but the last time was different. On that last knock down he was really hurt but those extra few seconds gave him some time and he seemed like he was alright after that. I could be wrong but I actually think that those 15 seconds or so was the difference in this fight because if he wouldve went straight back in after that last knock down I think Castillo may have dropped him again and the ref wouldve stopped it. Hard to tell though

I think it helped him but that boxing, he didnt do anything illegal, its kind of like a foul in basketball, you get penalized and keep going, smart move for Chico you do what you have to do to win, low blow, hold, run, head bunt, elbow, as long as its not in eccess then you loose via D.Q. .

Yes it helped him but I think the fight should of been stopped after the second knockdown especially since he took four clean shots before going down.

Chico hadn't yet recovered from the first knockdown, and he had to get his mouth piece back in. Total of about 20 seconds from the KD to Goosen shoving the mouth piece back in. But Chico was still wobbly and knew he'd take another KD to recover. He got hit, he went down and spit his mouth piece out. More precious seconds added when the Ref had to take Chico to each judge for the deduction. About 25 seconds or more.

That's almost a whole minute. Tactical move. Take the KD to recover and KO his opponent...coz he knew he was hurt too.

The second time chico got knocked down i counted 20 seconds before the action was resumed. that should not of happen. he would have been knocked out if he only had 9.

It helped him. You gotta give credit to Chico's corner too, they knew what the score was... Weeks kept going "come on! come on! put it in!!" and the corner was taking their sweet ass time. Very smart.

They sorta took a page from Angelo Dundee when he tore a whole into Cassius Clay's gloves so Cassius could recover from the KD he got from the Hammer.

[Gonzalo]

What a little *****, throwing out his mouth pice twice. The ref should have stoped the fight after he through out his mouth piece for the second time. Those extra seconds robbed Castillo.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This is ****en bulls**t~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Castillo will win in a rematch.

This is fight of the year hands down.

the mouthpiece trick definitely saved Corrales. He needed the extra time to recover from the first knockdown. A rematch is in order for this one

the mouthpiece trick helped him of course, but his heart won the fight. This was a great fight by both guys. No contoversies here. The ref took points away from Diego for the mp trick, and Chico went out and ko'ed Castillo. I hope people don't start fishing for excuses and conspiracy theories with this fight. Let's just enjoy a great fight between two true champs and look forward to the rematch.
