    An unforgettable battle. Drama, skills, violence, and a come from behind ending. This fight had it all.

    My only complaint is the gumshield.

    One other thing: perfect stoppage. If he intervenes one second earlier, people are complaining. One second later, Castillo probably gets hurt permanently because he was in Mercer-Morrisson territory at that point.

    Tony Weeks is the name.

    Yep. I'm confident he didn't really want to jump in based upon what he and everybody saw that night but was really left no choice which helped matters.

    I remember Castillo saying after the fight he wished he was given another chance because of the ones Chico got, but at least he also admitted he was hurt and didn't try to pretend it was a bullshit stoppage.

    If Castillo had gone down, who knows. He might make it out of there. And a great fight just gets greater.

    If he'd been able to, Castillo definitely would've been better off taking a knee and possibly could've won the fight.
