NEW YORK (April 6, 2016) - Showtime Egwuregwu® presents its latest installment of a year-long salute commemorating 30 years of Showtime egwuregwu ọkpọ® with “Fights of the Year” in April on SHO Oke®.

 

The fourth round of a 12-month tribute will be highlighted by four of the most rousing and unforgettable fights in boxing history:

  • Jorge Castro vs. John David Jackson I - 1994 Mgbanaka Magazine Fight of the Year (Gburugburu 9 earned Round of the Year honors)
  • Paulie Ayala vs. Johnny Tapia M - 1999 Mgbanaka Magazine Ọgụ nke Year (Ayala earned Fighter of the Year honors)
  • Diego Corrales vs. Jose Luis Castillo I - 2005 Consensus Fight of the Year (Gburugburu 10 earned Round of the Year honors)
  • Lucas Matthysse vs. John Molina Obere. - 2014 Boxing Writers Association of America Fight of the Year.

 

The four celebrated battles will air on “Throwback Thursdays” all month at 10 p.m. NA/PT on SHO EXTREME and are available on SHOWTIME ON DEMAND®, Showtime oge obula® and via the network’s online streaming service. Each fight will be wrapped with brief context and commentary from SHOWTIME Sports ring announcer and International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee Jimmy Lennon Jr.

 

Below is the schedule of SHOWTIME EXTREME premieres for the month of April:

  • Thursday, April 7: Jorge Castro vs. John David Jackson I
  • Thursday, April 14: Lucas Matthysse vs. John Molina Jr.
  • Thursday, April 21: Diego Corrales vs. Jose Luis Castillo I
  • Thursday, April 28: Paulie Ayala vs. Johnny Tapia I

 

Castro-Jackson I (Dec. 10, 1994, Castro KO 9) –Castro, thoroughly battered, bloodied and losing by a wide margin, rallies from the absolute brink of defeat to score three knockdowns in the ninth round to overcome Jackson in one of the most dramatic turnarounds ever.

 

Ayala-Tapia I (June 26, 1999, Ayala W 12) – In some of the fiercest two-way action in the history of Las Vegas boxing, southpaw Ayala hands Tapia his first professional loss in 49 fights and captures the WBA bantamweight title by the scores of 115-114 na 116-113 ugboro abụọ. Game On: As the boxers were being announced, Tapia walked across the ring and shoved Ayala causing a momentary skirmish.

 

Diego Corrales-Jose Luis Castillo I (Ka 7, 2005, Corrales TKO 10)After nine intense, back-and-forth rounds, Corrales accomplishes the unthinkable, miraculously regrouping from abụọ knockdowns in the 10nke to stop Castillo in the same round (2:06) and etch his spot in boxing lore. After managing to beat the count (and lose a point for excessive spitting out of the mouthpiece), Corrales got Castillo on the ropes and connected with a huge right hand. He continued to unload and Castillo got nailed with a bundle of vicious punches. Obere oge mgbe e mesịrị, the ref stopped it.

 

Lucas Matthysse-John Molina Jr. (April 26, 2014, Matthysse KO 11)Abloody slugfest, in which both fighters were knocked down multiple times,became an instant classic. Matthysse who went down in the second and fifth rounds, came back with a late-fight onslaught to wear down and drop Molina in the eighth, 10nke na 11nke agba. The tremendous brawl was as brutal as it was exciting and more compelling to witness than anyone could have imagined.
