    If Tony Weeks had stopped it after the second knockdown...

    When Chico got up on 9, damn i can see quite a few referee's who would have counted him out.

    Will forever be thankful to Tony Weeks for letting the fight go on, and giving Corrales the chance to provide us with one of the best endings to a fight i've ever seen.

        Sometimes this fight seems like yesterday, other times It feels like a lifetime ago, but It never gets old. Great, great fight, and probably In most boxing fans top 5-10 of all time.

          Referees have a much greater effect on the outcome of fights than some people would like to admit. In saying that it must be one of the hardest jobs to make a split second judgement. Without the benefit of replays and slow motion, judging how hurt a fighter is can be near impossible. Luckily Weeks got it spot on here, but how many comebacks have we been robbed of? How many fighters primes have been robbed by referees letting the fighter carry on past a safe point?

            Epic round apart from spitting that mouthguard out twice.

              If you aren't cheating, you aren't trying. The mouthpiece spitting adds to the legend.

                  Yup, it really does.

                  I just wish there was some sort of seperate HD camera angle focusing on the crowd as i would have loved to have seen the reactions on as many of the peoples faces that i could have.

                  What a fight to have witnessed in the flesh by the people that were fortunate enough to make it there.
