    corrales v castillo
    I love the first round ....slightly cagey then the last minute it starts to unfold and eventually errupt. For me every round just got better and better say bar the 5th?(cant quite remember) Id pick this over Gatti v Ward just down to skill .....yes it was all out war but it was all out war on a higher level.

    if Gatti fought with his face (like he did against ward) against castillo that night he would have been knocked out or completley outboxed.

    the ending was perfect...better than any rocky movie ...

    the left hook landed on corrales for the first knock down should've ended the fight
    the way corrales rolled backwards on the second knockdown (he looked like a broken man)
    the energy in which corrales threw big shot after big shot at a castillo on the ropes
    the fact that castillo didnt go down the whole fight
    the fact that it was a unification fight
