Did anyone else see this vicious war last night? I think this one might be the best fight I've ever seen, and I've seen some doozies since I was 6 years old or so. Every round was a carbon copy of the previous round. Two lightweight champs standing in front of each other and hammering each other to see which one would finally fold. If the fight had gone the distance, I bet it woulda ended in a draw. I couldn't tell who was winning.
But then came that fateful 10th round. Castillo dropped Corrales with a left hook about 25 seconds into the round. Corrales took the standing 8 count, but Castillo was on him immediately and you could tell that Corrales didn't have much left. So Castillo dropped him again, and this time Corrales stayed down until the ref counted 9 and hopped up. Castillo resumed his assault and Corrales decided to throw some punches back. A Corrales left hook stopped Castillo in his tracks. Corrales then went on the assault and pinned Castillo on the ropes. From there, Coralles landed about 4 or five vicious lefts and rights making Castillo head snap back and forth like a bobble-head doll. Castillo's hand were by his side and eyes were looking up as he took them punches. The ref had to jump in and save him.
That 10th round will go down in infamy. If you missed it, I'm sure ESPN is trying to buy that one to show as an Instant Classic by next Friday. I just wish Showtime replayed fights like HBO does. I'd watch every replay.
