There are certain fights that you just never get tired of watching. It’s safe to say that this is one of them, at least for me.
On May 7th, 2005, Diego Corrales and Jose Luis Castillo headlined a Showtime Championship Boxing card at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. At stake were the WBC and WBO lightweight titles, making this a unification bout. It would be revisionist history to say that this was a “big” fight in a commercial sense — it wasn’t a PPV and the arena clearly isn’t sold out when you see camera shots — but it delivered on its promise of action.
