    Corrales- Castillo I was the best fight I ever saw live in my entire life back and forth action and the finale was unreal. Corrales coming back in the 10th from getting dropped two times and then stopping Castillo in the same round! Are you kidding me? I still get an adrenaline rush watching that. Never seen anything like that before in a boxing match

      You beat me to it. I remember seeing that fight and thinking how unreal it was. At first I thought that stoppage was premature but Castillo seemed happy enough with the fight just being over. During the replay during the ring interviews I realized BOTH of them were nearly out on their feet, Corrales just wanted it more and was able to dig deep and find what he needed to win

    Very early in his career I knew him because I trained at the same gym at the same time.
    Honestly, I didn't like him at all but I'd still talk to him when I'd see him to be cordial. He was very cocky and arrogant. It's wasn't like he was the baddest guy in the gym either, compared to a lot of us he was tiny and could just be picked up and given a helicopter ride like a little kid.
    Maybe being like that is required to be a champ but Rodney Jones, Tony Lopez, Pete Ranzani and many more champs came from that same gym, they were very likable and humble.
    Thanks for all the hard work you put into these great videos, this one of my favorite youtube channels.

      Quite a few really good boxers came out of the Oak Park section of South Sacramento.
      Off the top of my head was Pete Ranzani, Loreto Garza . Tony Lopez, Mike Dallas Jr (I trained a lot with Sr who also boxed with moderate success), Willie Jorrin, Rodney Jones and others that had big fights.
      The owner was Ernie Guevara , the father of Joe Guevara that had a phenomial start until he faced Carlos Zarate. Joe told me Zarate had tremendous punching power, nothing like he had ever experienced.
      They way you described the area as rough was very true. There were gangs, pimps, dealers everywhere, especially near the gym (Capitol Boxing). The PAL (Police Athletic League) also fostered may good boxers, that facility was nearby.
      Often the guys from the PAL gym would go to Capitol to train as well and participate in the Saturday gym wars.
      Rodney Jones is someone that anyone could be instant friends with, a super nice guy. Same with Tony Lopez, almost all of the guys I met.
      My trainer for a few years was Timothy Harris, he lasted 7-8 rounds with Julian Jackson in his prime.(vid on youtube) He had a few title shots vs Nino LaRocca(youtube also) and had won a CA State belt but never had great success. He shot his ex's attorney and is still in prison I believe. I was around right at that time and he was in great distress over money/ child support.

      There's gyms with plenty of stories I'm sure; like Kronk, Capitol, Wild Card,Johnny Tocco's etc.

    Was a big fan of Chico, as a fellow Sacramentan. But when I read about him beating his pregnant wife, all respect was gone.
    Had a huge heart in the ring, and none outside of it. It was so distressing to hear so many people pull the whole, "Hey, no one's perfect" defense, because it really illustrated just how we make allowances for athletes/celebrities.
    Anyways, good work on the video.

He never boxed there once he became a world class fighter. I think it was because when he beat up his wife that made the front page of the Sacramento Bee . However when he won a fight it was buried in the sports section..He was well known there but not necessarily in a good way..

    Castillo will always be disgraced for purposely missing weight because he was butt hurt about the first fight. Cost him millions and rightfully so. As Emmanuel Stewart said, he not a HOF'er and never should be.

    Another great one Rich, but this one saddens me. I REALLY liked and rooted for Chico. Thought he would beat Floyd. Never heard of all of these incidents. Now I feel he was a thug. And that really does sadden me because he seemed like a really good guy. I will NEVER forget his comeback against Castillio. I was screaming and woke my wife up. She was not amused

      I am sure that you and everyone that you know/like are _good,_ while everyone else has to settle for being human.
      And behold, one came and said unto him (Jesus): _"Good Master, what good thing shall I do; that I may have eternal life?"_
      And he (Jesus) said unto him: _"Why do you call me good? There is none good but one, that is God; but if you will enter into life, keep the commandments."_

      My point was, that no adult human being should consider themselves to be _good_ because they are not.
      Violating and/or hurting defenseless people is never acceptable but that is not what happened in this instance.
      She told Diego that her unborn child was probably not his but that she was definitely going to kill it (abortion), just to hurt him.
      In my personal opinion, she probably deserved more of a beating than she received.
