  • Thursday, Plaub Hlis Ntuj 14: Lucas Matthysse vs. John Molina Jr.
  • Thursday, Plaub Hlis Ntuj 21: Diego Corrales vs. Jose Luis Castillo I
  • Thursday, Plaub Hlis Ntuj 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 (Lub rau hli ntuj 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 thiab 116-113 ob zaug. 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 (Tej zaum 7, 2005, Corrales TKO 10)After nine intense, back-and-forth rounds, Corrales accomplishes the unthinkable, miraculously regrouping from ob knockdowns in the 10th 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. Moments tom qab, the ref stopped it.

 

Lucas Matthysse-John Molina Jr. (Plaub Hlis Ntuj 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, 10th thiab 11th rounds. The tremendous brawl was as brutal as it was exciting and more compelling to witness than anyone could have imagined.
