Diego Corrales makes the Boxing HOF

[chuckythegoat2]

Remember this fight?

Back when boxers were true warriors. I don't question the ref:
*Corrales was knocked down 2x early in the round. And each time he got the count.
*Corrales showed his faculties. But the ref thought he was spitting out the mouth-piece.
*After the re-start, Corrales gains momentum. And the ref stops it when Castillo is bewildered.

Amazing fight. RIP, Diego.

Maybe it's "No" because you don't have a grasp.

Professional fighters. Two guys that gave it their all.

Hatton might be a bit of a reach but he was a great character in the sport.

Corrales-Castillo II I was so excited for bit Castillo came in like 4-5 pounds overweight. Surprised they let the fight happen. I remember the belt wasn’t on the line.

Corrales never won another fight after that war in the first fight. Three straight losses and then the tragic death. Lived and died hard like so many prizefighters
