Truly an epic fight and one of the most memorable in the history of boxing. One Mexican and one Mexican American fighters giving all to the fans. And I agree, that Chico spitting the protector after each knock down bought them precious time which allowed him to come back while the referee not only should have deducted points but he could also have disqualified Corrales for doing that.

He took a point away for spitting out the mouth piece, that was fair, there was no need to DQ him so he didn't.

Castillo would have won that fight if Corrales didnt cheat by constantly spitting out his mouth piece. Now yes it turned out into a dramtic ending but if we being honest had Corrales had to get up and fight after those 10 seconds Castillo would have stopped him but by COrrales spitting out his mouth piece he bought an extra 30 seconds so about 40 seconds total time to recover each time he spit out the mouth piece.

great fight none the less I just had to speak on that cause I think that lil fact gets overlooked constantly.

Folks, the reason why this fight was memorable was because Latinos and Mexicans in particular, are warriors and macho which means even if you are receiving pinches in your face and are about to get koed, you keep fighting and not hugging. Imagine Floyd being in the place of Castillo, since he had the fight winning he would have coasted the rest of the fight, running and hugging and being " slick " whatever that means. The Vazquez-Marquez fights were also wars. Watch Chavez-Rosario or Chavez- Mario Martinez, blood baths, wars, real men. Now watch any Mayweather or Pernell Whitaker fight hahahaha.

Mexicans aren't macho at all. Canelo dresses like a ****sexual and seemed to misplace his balls when he fought Mayweather. Rios fought like a pu$$y against Pacquiao. And Santa Cruz is publicly running from Rigo, and is currently raising a ****sexual son named Al.

This was "The Other Side of Diego Corrales-Jose Luis Castillo" - Diego Corrales side.... now write "The Other Side of Diego Corrales-Jose Luis Castillo" - Jose Luis Castillo's side. ....His frustrations with Corrales spitting his mouth piece and the ref giving him extra time to recover. His disappointment of the outcome and how he dealt with it, any depression thereafter, what conversations he might have had with Corrales after the fight, what Chavez Sr. told him after the fight since he was there, if he's seen the fight and how he feels watching it, how he felt during the fight, his problem with the weight for the second fight, if he felt himself a different fighter after the Corrales fight, if he could choose an official win, which victory would he prefer, Mayweather 1 or Corrales 1, what he thought and felt when he heard of Corrales untimely death, if he's spoken to Corrales' wife since etc etc etc
