Diego Corrales vs Jose Luis Castillo May 7, 2005 1080p 60FPS HD Show. Video/Japanese Commentary

The fight that MANY people, fans, commentators, writers, trainers, fighters and a bunch of etc's, call the single greatest boxing match they have witnessed. There's even an HBO fight that was held a few months afterwards where Jim Lampley praises the fight. It is that revered. Enjoy if you should choose to do so.
RIP Diego "Chico" Corrales

I came across this yesterday, already in the fashion I am presenting it here, meaning that I didn't remove the English commentary and replace it with the Japanese. Not certain if the uploader at the channel where I found it did so or if he found it that way, either? I imagine that is the reason this version is allowed up so far in North America as I am pretty sure that if it had the original commentary it would be blocked, if not resulting in an actual strike. I just now noticed that I did receive a copyright claim (in the last 5 mins at that even!) and the video IS blocked in some countries, unfortunately. Oddly enough, and I mean really oddly enough, this whole video is unwatchable for any of my zero subscribers who reside in the "land down under!" This version of the fight is blocked ONLY in Australia?! Weird!. YouTube tells creators in these situations the percentage of a channels sub's that will be affected by the blocking of an upload. In this case, they tell me that 0% of my sub's are affected by this blockage, meaning I have no fans in "Oz."

My favorite fight of all time, quite possibly. I revisit it every few years, and it is always controversial, entertaining and moving. Rest in peace, Mr. Corrales, and live in pride meantime, Mr. Castillo. 🖖

no le vamos a hechar la culpa a Corrales de hacer tiempo, la culpa la tuvo castillos de haberse confiado, se le olvido que estaba peleando con otro latino con sangre guerrera...

Now the question is: what fight is better Morales Barrera 1 or Corrales Castillo 1

[shawnhughes]

The chief second/corner man in the flowered shirt who said "You better get inside on him now" had the worlds greatest reaction to his fighter winning in the history of reactions! All celebrations are NOT equal!

42:10 I like how someone went to take his mouth guard out but he had already spit it out. Some dude putting his hand in his mouth lol
