One of the greatest fights of all time was the Corrales-Castillo I title fight.
Watch the 10th round. Amazing. [youtube]/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWL0pr1ARzQ[youtube] |

I only saw one of his fights. Mayweather knocked him out, but it was a good fight. Thanks for that clip goose, that was amazing stuff.

Chico will be missed. Anyone see the pics of his bike? I can't even imagine what he must have looked like.

It's not "boxing" that is ignoring the lower weight divisions. It's fans and eyeballs that are ignoring it. If you want the lower weight divisions to get more airplay, you have to watch them.

I much prefer the lower weight divisions. More actual fighting and less hugging.
