The late Diego Corrales will forever be remembered amongst fight fans for an incredible stoppage win against Luis Castillio which turned out to be his last victory before his tragic death in a motorcycle accident.
Having been knocked down twice, the WBO World Lightweight Champion Corrales looked like being on the verge of being stopped with Castillio all set to add another belt to his WBC title in the 10th round.
The onslaught from Corrales in the same round to turn the fight around and stop Castillio is unforgettable and will go down in Boxing folklore as a contender for one of the greatest comebacks seen in the Lightweight Division and certainly the fight of 2005.
A rematch followed between the two in which Corrales weighed over the Lightweight limit and the fight didn’t live up to the thriller of the first fight in which Castillio gained revenge by stopping Corrales in the 4th round. A deciding 3rd fight was scheduled but never took place with the tragic death of Corrales at the age of 29.
