Castillo sensed blood and followed up with a right uppercut and another left hook. Corrales went down, hard, this time reaching into his mouth and pulling his gumshield out. Referee Tony Weeks docked the boxer a point after he rose, making what was already looking like a 10-7 round a likely 10-6 in Castillo’s favour – a fight-turning swing. But at this point few believed it was heading to the scorecards.
The crowd, already on their feet, leapt into the air like a surge of electricity had gone through the arena. Corrales spat out his gum shield – this time in victory – and Goossen picked up and carried the bruised, swollen winner around the ring. Inevitably it was tinged with controversy that Corrales had bought himself vital seconds of recovery time with his gum shield antics. Goossen argued it was Corrales’ punches that turned the fight, adding: “The mouthpiece didn’t hit anybody on the chin.”
A troubled individual, even by boxing standards, Corrales’ friends and promoters spoke of a gentle soul – but one with a dark side. After the Mayweather defeat, he spent 14 months in jail for an assault on his pregnant girlfriend. Alcohol was involved and it also played a part in his death.
