Quote:I agree with the ref stopping the fight. After watching the fight and seeing it in slow motion you can cleary see that Castillo was out of it and if you ref didn\'t stop it Corrales could of thrown in another 3 or 4 puches to finish him off and Castillo could of been seriously hurt cause he wouldn\'t have went down directly to the floor but hung on the ropes getting hit more. And as for Corrales getting more chances I dont think so. Lets not forget the ref took a point away from Corrales for spitting out the mouthpiece so Corrales definitly need to end the fight with a k.o. or t.k.o.

You\'re goddamn right. That fight is an easy contender for Ring Magazine\'s Fight Of The Year .
In regards to the on-going Boxing/UFC debate, I\'m sure you\'re right--there\'s no point in turning this post into an argument, rather than a debate.
Quote:I\'m so disappointed in all of you. This new generation of kids has no concept of what a true gladiator is, and insists upon ushering in an era of pussies--the UFC is nothing if not a handful of over-the-top moves, and useless, visceral (seeming) action; there\'s no heart or true grit. Just a bunch of over-confiedent idiots slavering over there unfit oponents and themselves.
I know you all think UFC is a tougher, more kick-ass sport than, say, boxing, but I assure you that notion is farther from the truth than you\'ll ever know. And I especially want to point out that most, if not ALL, of the people who think otherwise have almost certainly never stepped into a ring or an arena themselves. And any fight they might claim to have been in wasn\'t a true fight: it was probably a bunch of wussy kids trying to inflict themselves on each other withoug knowing why or how, with miserable results that everyone lied to themselves about after the fact.
Fucking kids...

I, of course, still back that one-hundred percent, and I don\'t expect you to agree with it. That is, in effect, the point.
Lastly, a boxer would need extra training to put down a UFC fighter?! How exactly do you think they became boxers? Their lifestyle qualifies and prepares them, HONES AND WITTLES them down to accomplish one defining purpose--to become a boxer. They do it partly because it\'s one way to make a living, and partly because they were born to do nothing else. They live for it, and have an entire lifestyle and livelyhood built solely upon that one, all-encompassing need. Their life is one giant, indivisible training regiment, which, I am certain, makes up for any so-called disadvantage that they might be accused of having (to a UFC fighter?!)... c\'mon. And, for the record: octagon, square, circle, triangle, UFC regulations or Boxing rules... doesn\'t matter, Boxer, hands down; refer to the above paragraph.
