    Great thread. Not sure Corrales castillo fits, since corrales was also fighting his type of fight

    You have a point. I think the general consensus was Corrales would have been better off with more distance. But thinking about it, that may not have been true. For example, the knockdowns he suffered in that fight did not happen in close.

    I can't rebember which fight it was, but wasn't there a famous bout where a boxer was slugging the slugger ang getting beat up, yet managed to turn it around and win by ko with a few well timed punches?

    Sounds like Holmes vs Weaver where Holmes turned the tables and bombed Weaver out.

    I'm not familiar enough with either Carbajal or Gonzalez to claim so, but i remeber an article stating that Carbajal (more of a boxer) was fighint Gonzalez fight (and getting beat up) before pulling out the ko win.

    If anything the rematches are better for the topic ... Chiquita won them basically by outboxing Carbajal
