How the Sharpshooter Works?

1. Secure the Feet:
Bret Hart would grip the arches of his opponent's feet, forming a "V" with the legs.

2. Step Through:
He would step his dominant leg through the "V" and stand on the mat next to the opponent's abdomen.

3. Cross the Legs:
He would then cross the opponent's legs around his own leg, starting with the leg on the side he stepped through.

4. Apply Pressure:
The resulting hold applied pressure and leverage to both the opponent's legs and back.

🔥💥Boxing Classic💥🔥

Diego Corrales vs Jose Luis Castillo 1 was an epic boxing match that took place on May 7, 2005, at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Corrales, the WBO lightweight champion, faced off against Castillo, the WBC lightweight titleholder, in a highly anticipated bout. The fight was a brutal and intense battle, with both fighters giving it their all and leaving everything in the ring...

The fight saw both fighters engaging in close quarters combat, with Corrales and Castillo trading punches and neither gaining a clear advantage for most of the bout.

Dramatic Turnaround Corrales was knocked down twice in the 10th round, but he managed to get back up and mount a stunning comeback, stopping Castillo with a flurry of punches.

Corrales spat out his mouthpiece multiple times, gaining extra recovery time, which led to a point deduction. Castillo's promoter, Bob Arum, argued that referee Tony Weeks should have forced Corrales to continue fighting without his mouthpiece being replaced.

The fight was widely regarded as one of the greatest of all time, earning both fighters the Boxing Writers Association of America Fight of the Year and Ring Magazine Fight of the Year awards in 2005..

The Corrales-Castillo fight is still talked about today for its incredible action, drama, and sheer brutality. Many boxing fans and experts consider it one of the greatest fights in boxing history, with some even ranking it alongside legendary bouts like Ali vs Frazier and Robinson vs LaMotta...
