    I've not seen the epic Vasquez Marquez or Gatti Ward trilogies

    Morales Barrera 1 was incredible


    But Corrales Castillo 1 is far and away the best fight i've ever seen - i was screaming the walls down watching that one!

    Gatti-Ward trilogy is slightly overrated, IMO.

    Corrales-Castillo gets somewhat overrated here at ESB. I love the fight but I dont hold it to a pedastol like so many here do. So many flaws in the fight IMO, the win is somewhat tainted with Chico repeatedly spitting out the mouth piece, borderline premature stoppage, and too much inside fighting for fighter of the caliber. The ending is really what made the fight.


    I like Marquez/Vasquez III much more, traded Knockdowns, and it all came down to the 12th round.

    That was actually the best piece of refereeing I've personally seen in a boxing match. Perfect timing.

    Corrales-Castillo I IMO. Drama, suspense, violence, heart, antics--you name it, it's all there.

    Gotta go with you here homie...The way Izzy just came out smoking in the 12th round to nearly KO Marquez gives me goose pumps everytime...That was classic right there.

    That fight nearly gave me a heart attack....in terms of the to-and-fro action..the see-saw KDs...Marquez unfortunately,could'nt take it as well as he could give it out.

    My vote is on this one.:thumbsup

    Trinidad-Vargas for me personally. Both traded low blows and knockdowns. Great fight for real.

    The most exciting and emotional fight for me recently has been Taylor-Froch, worth a mention I say.
