One Year Ago Today

[CutMeMick]

Diego Corrales died. Thought that was worth noting and an excuse to post my favorite moment in sports history to be honest. 2 years before he died he had this fight.

Sad end for a great fighter, a great loss to boxing. I remember being on here a year ago and all of this happening, it felt like yesterday!

One year ago, we were shocked with the demise of Chico.

[Macho]

He was and still like a Grandiose Boxer............

[Bomp]

A quiet man, but a genuine born warrior.

R.I.P.

I remember an interview where I learned he was also a trained chef. He talked about cooking for his family and his favorite recipes. I always hoped he would retire from boxing and open up a restaurant with some of the boxing money. Iwas a fan of his in the ring, and his personality made him so easy to support. He was a guy I would have loved to meet, to talking food and boxing. Rest In Peace, Chico.
