Re: Your favorite Diego Corrales memory?
Corrales left fight fans with a ton of memories. Like everyone else said first is the Castillo fight, WOW! Great, Great fight, and GREAT comeback!
I was also impressed way back when Corrales DESTROYED Angel Manfredy in like 2 rounds, Manfredy was still a good fighter then too.
Also when Corrales faced unbeaten Acelino Freitas, withstood all his boxing and dancing stuff, then knocked him on his butt and made him quit.
Avenging the Casamayor loss, and just seein how much he wanted to continue in their first fight despite the mouthpiece breaking off in his mouth.
And most recently the Clottey fight, I mean NOTHING came easy to Corrales. He picked a true contender to challenge at 147 and he didn't back down, he went to war with Clottey and gave him hell till the last round. Corrales was just a warrior, he had more heart and courage than I could ever imagine having. I'll never forget the guy or his great war with Jose Luis Castillo.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
