jose luis castillo's a bad mother

[TacoMuerte]

I wasn't ever too impressed with Castillo because he does have problems with the skinny quick guys with fast hands...But his chin is solid granite and his punches are like miniture wrecking balls, the guy is built like a beast, I wouldn't be surprised if he succeeded in a UFC type envrioment because speed in the UFC is nuetralized by countered power..Anyways the guy is a beast to say the least.. (lmao that ryhmed)

Castillo & Chavez are from the same Mexican State of Sonora...
Chavez was born in Ciudad Obregon Sonora Mex,
Castillo in Empalme Sonora Mex,

Although Chavez Claims to be from Culiacan Sinaloa... Thats where he lives actually.

The favorite game of the peoples of Middle America before the Spanish conquest was a curious, and violent, cross between soccer, volleyball and the Spanish game of pelota. But it was much more than just a game, it also had religious significance and was a vital poart of important community rituals involving sacrifice and death.

The ball game, as it is known now, seems to have been first played by the Olmecs. By 400 BC it was already popular among the other peoples of middle america, and it spread over the centuries to the inhabitants of Teotihuacan, and and to the toltecs, the Mayas, and the Aztecs.

The Aztec version of the game is best known today, because more of their ball courts ahve survived and because aztec and spanish historians ahve left detailed accounts of their games.

Winners who chased fans
in the game, two teams faced each other over a line drawn across the centre of the court between two giant side walls. their aim was to knock a heavy rubber ball into their opponents end of the court in much the same way as volleyball players do today. the difference was that these players were allowed to bounce the ball off the walls, and to hit it with only their hips, knees , or elbows. teams could win a game outright by knocking the ball through either of the two stone rings that jutted out from midpoint of each side wall. the rings were sometimes 20ft or more above the court and only just big enough for the ball, so goals were uncommon. but a player who scored was allowed to confiscate the clothes and possessions of any spectators he and his friends could catch. "Give me the mother****ing shirt."
combatants wore kneepads, leather aprons, and
face masks to protect themsleves from the flying ball. Injuries were common, and sometimes fatal.

The game was so popular that goods of all kinds were wagered on the result.some were ruined by it. the indian chronicler Ixtlilxochitl tells of one game in the late 15th century where the Aztec emperor Axayacatl played against the ruler of the reighbouring city of Xochimilco. Axayacatl bet the marketplace of Mexico City against one of the ruler's gardens, and lost. But the next day, Aztec soldiers appeared at the palace of Xochimilco and 'while they saluted him and made him presents, they threw a garland of flowers about his neck with a blade hidden in it, and so killed him.




Losers who lost their lives

wherever the ball game was played, it had, besides its popular appeal, enormous ritual importance.ballcourts were always laid out east -west or south-north, and each part of the game had its own significance. the court represented the heavens, the stone rings symbolized sunset or sunrise or the equinoxes; and the movement of the ball represented the path of the sun, moon or stars depending on the beliefs of the area. among the mayas, where the ballgame was known as pok-ta-pok, some matches even ended with the ritual sacrifice of the losing team. among the aaztecs, the game was also used for divination, as when Montezuma played against the lord of the nearby city of Texoco to test the truth of a prophecy that strangers would come to rule in Tenochtitlan. The legend records that Montezuma won the first few games in the series of matches but was finally defeated- and it was not long afterwards that Hernan Cortes landed to begin his conquest of Mexico.

that was a pain to type reading from a book on this tiny desk.

anyway, i think chavez and corrales chin strength correlates with this crazy aztec game, and maybe people from sonora have strong aztec genes or something (or they do) because obviously they wore face protection the ball must have not been a ***** ball, obviously it hurt and i think maybe over time that particular type of human being developed a stronger cranium because of the popularity of this crazy sport in their area.

also it sounds pretty no holds barred, 'they chased fans and took their clothes' if i was a fan id put up a fight and im sure that happened, so there you go even more training for his forefathers chins.

Good one!

Big ups to Castillo ... he proved me wrong and I sure as hell didn't think he'd KO Corrales with a big punch, early.
