Jose Luis Castillo vs. Diego Corrales I

---

The lightweight unification bout between WBC champion Castillo and WBO champion Corrales turned into one of the all-time greatest and most brutal slugfests. Castillo was ahead on two of the cards and knocked down Corrales twice in the tenth round, but Corrales wisely spit out his mouthpiece on both occasions to garner some precious seconds to recover, eventually bombing out Castillo against the ropes and forcing Weeks to stop the fight. 2005 BWAA Fight of the Year 2005 Ring Magazine Fight of the Year 2005 ESPN Fight of the Year
