He was losing to Castillo, Casamayor and Freitas (badly) before KO stoppages.
he never stopped casa by ko, he was beating castillo according to the judges and:
"I was taking my time, bidding my time. We had our game plan. We knew we knew the early rounds [belonged to Freitas] keep the pace, keep being strong," Corrales said after the victory. "Keep the pressure on, work behind the jab and pound the body. You can't keep that pace up. I was coming really hard pounding the body and he was missing shots to."
This is not the face of a fighter with a good defense?
I've never seen Mayweather's face look like that. EVER.

i deeply disagree .
the chin : quite good for a lanky fighter . only ones to knock him down : mayweather and castillo , 2 pound for pound fighters .
the defense : he blocks punches very very well . he si not a defensive wizard but he has a good guard and punishes you after every blocked or slipped punch .
great heart , great punch , weird body of a deadly octopuss , fight the best , not afraid to do it again
Corrales is a P4P fighter because of his quality wins over top fighters. Yes he's been knocked down but to only top opposition. People always bring up the PBF fight & use that as a guage for his chin. The guy had problems making weight, a pending court case in which he KNEW he was going to jail, & his purse for that fight went straight to his ex-wife which he also knew going into that fight. In that fight he never wanted to give up & almost fought his trainer for stopping it. In the Casa fight he was begging the ringside physician for 1 more round because in the round before he hurt Casa bad & new he'd eventually catch him again.
