When Diego Corrales (40-2, 33 KOs) and Jose Luis Castillo (52-7-1, 46 KOs) signed a contract to fight in early May, the bout was considered a candidate for fight of the year before either man stepped inside the ring.
The bout exceeded every expectation imaginable with a seesaw 10-round battle of wills, blood and guts. It was such an explosive fight that labeling the battle as the fight of the year is just not good enough, it's almost an insult. Many experts feel the first meeting should be considered as one of the greatest fights of the last 25 years. Others call it the fight of the decade, the fight of the millennium and the Hagler-Hearns of the new generation. [details]
