Great boxing match

[Eracer]

I'm not a boxing fanatic, but I like a good fight. I'm watching a Showtime classic right now that is up among the best I've ever seen.

Unbelievable ending.

If you are a boxing fan, try to find this one:

May 07, 2005
Jose Luis Castillo vs. Diego Corrales.

I'm a pretty big boxing fan and yes, that IS a great match. It's a shame Chico's gone now, he was very exciting to watch.

I'm glad somebody else saw it. I just don't remember seeing many fights that had such constant, intense, toe-to-toe punching. Those two guys were going after it for the entire fight.

When you say "Chico's gone," what do you mean? Did he retire?

He died in a motorcycle accident, I don't remember exactly when, but it was last year. He was still in his (late) 20's.

Another match you may want to look into that was all out excitement is Ricky Hatton vs Kostya Tszyu. Tszyu was virtually unbeatable at the time, and Hatton was still a relative unknown. I had heard so many great things about this match and finally saw it a couple weeks ago, it was on ESPN2, or ESPNClassic or something like that. NONSTOP action. It's the fight that really put Hatton on the map.

Alot of the Mexican fighters really HATE eachother, so they're usually good matches to watch, plus they have so much pride.
