        You're not going to like my opinion. I think Weeks and Corrales spitting out his mouth piece on purpose robbed Castillo of an almost certain KO win. Corrales spitting out the mouth piece on purpose gave him extra time to clear his head and recover from Castillo's punches. It takes about 15 seconds to wash the mouth piece and put it back. Then Weeks takes another 10 or 15 seconds to take a point away from Corrales and that gave Corrales even more recovery time. Weeks should have waited till the end of the round to take the point away. It wasn't that many years ago that they did not stop the fight to wash and replace a mouth piece that came out. To this day I think Casillo was robbed of a KO win he should have had. Corrales used the mouth piece trick in future fights. He used it in his fight with Clottey but he lost anyway.

            I'm with you but Castillo emphatically KO'd Corrales in the second fight which kind of makes everything OK, for me anyway.

                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.
                Yeah, it would've been pretty wild. Its funny seeing Winky Wright jumping up and down losing his mind while the fight gets stopped.

                    You're not wrong. The cheating absolutely saved Corrales. Doesn't take away from the fight IMO. It adds to it.

                      Yes sir. Very crafty move by Chico, at the time.
