Its crazy to think its been a year since Chico passed:-\
He was a great warrior and a fine Champion
All I can do is shake my head... Such a shame and still feels like it just happened yesterday... I have a pic of him and his boxrec with the day of his passing highlighted hung in my cubicle at work... Whenever someone askes who it is I pull out the Youtube of the final round with him and Castillo.... All I can do is shake my head
R.I.P. Chico.
One of my all-time favorites. I show Castillo-Corrales I to anyone who will watch it with me.
Man,I see a seat and a tire,past that,its a mush of metal
god i couldnt believe it last year when i heard, and its seems stupid but it was like i knew him, and it bothered me for quite a while, he gave it all in the ring and set a good example for young up and coming boxers,
rip chico
RIP Chico. :(

In regards to the pics.
I'll never forget that day...
I was on here logged on when someone posted a thread saying RIP "Chico"...
I quickly removed it as I thought it was some dumb ass who didn't have anything better to do.
Quickly when searching on the net and found nothing on his passing so I was pissed.
Then sure enough about 30 min. later reports began to pop up and I had to re-open the thread. :(
For those who missed it... I had the opp. to touch and see Diegos robes and his IBA belt along with his shoes.

i think of Chico most days as i edit all my photos for the front page nearly everyday and put them all in one folder on my computer... there are tons of photos in that folder but this one stands out and saddens me everytime i see it...
These 2 are rough for meQuote:

It's very sad especially to think i've done way worse and dangerous things in my day. Makes me wanna hug my wife and kids, there are tons of bad choices many of us have made that could have cost us our life.
really says it all them two photos :(Quote:

Like most of you I'll never forget the day I heard about it. And when I was searching up information on his accident, I stumbled on his myspace page with a picture of his infant daughter and him. Its really heartbreaking stuff, RIP Chico
Yeah, that sucked when I got on here and heard the news that he had died... Such a tragedy.. He still had some great fights in him i'm sure and it was very sad for him to leave the game..... He was absolutely a great guy out of boxing as well..... Was absolutely one of my favourite fighters after the heart he showed in some of his fights....
RIP..
That looks like a super nice bike as well.... He'd reached a peak in boxing, and obviously died doing something else he loved also... It would be hard to say he didn't make a great go of his life, so his is a story that can be celebrated a year on, just as much as mourned...
Corrales would not go out without a hard courageous fight in the ring...... when I see that Bike I do hope he went our quick and did not suffer ....RIP Champion
