Diego Corrales from In This Corner with "Smitty"

Diego, God Bless him, was demonstrating some interesting things that he'd do with his jab. He'd say it's like a rudder, and with his arm extended he would do some interesting things to control his opponent and maneuver into position. He'd use it a lot to feel where they're going to go and pick up some openings off of their reactions. It's definitely a treat to hear what he had to say.

I enjoyed watching this video a lot. Diego came across as a sincerely genial person who was happy to talk about his craft. He'll always be missed.

Good watch mate.thanks Rip DC.

The rudder hey! nice way of putting it.

I like the head grab and the turn around he did changing a ridden shot back into the rudder to get his opposition into the space he wants him in.

Much like the same move when you lean back into the ropes with your ass for more space and use that same head grab for control on the spring out to freedom.(remember that one?)

Haha.

In a way it reminded me of the spin move, that is you pivot to the right of your opponent and perhaps give them a little pull on the back of their elbow to assist the move which allows you to even get behind an opponent if done smoothly.
