    I remember watching this live and thinking the way Jackson was winging those hooks to the body might be a big mistake but I thought Castro's window of opportunity had closed by the 7th and he was definitely winding down. My jaw hit the floor when Castro landed that hook. Too bad, Jackson used to live in the same neighborhood as me. I'd see him occasionally and talk. It wasn't too hard to notice him as both he and his woman often wore a shirt that said "John David Jackson"....

    The big shot that Spinks decked Mustafa with in their 15 rounder. It seemed to swing the fight's momentum permanently in favor of Spinks, as Eddie was doing ok until that point.

    boy, from the back especially, when I first started watching this, I thought this was Victor Galindez...Castro sure resembles Galindez physically.

    Fullmer-Robinson second fight. Gene was winning until Ray landed the famous left hook that made history. Ray never came close to knocking Gene out or down in any of their other 3 fights in which Gene did quite well winning two and drawing the other.

    Mouthpiece controversy aside, the left hook Corrales landed with 1:28 left in the round. You can bring up the right hand he landed a few seconds earlier, that helped, but the left hook really changed things.
