[yoitsdan]

Absolutley devastated to hear this news, the fight game has lost one of its most genuine and well loved fighters, my thoughts are with his family R.I.P. Diego.

[Saddo]

RIP

A sad day indeed. Corrales had the heart of a lion inside those ropes. He never knew he was beat.

Fitting and sad that in his last fight he was outweighed, outmatched and outgunned and he still gave everything he had.

He was a true gunslinger.

They make fighters like Chico rarely, and I'd take one of him over 1000 Floyd Mayweathers.

Rest in Peace my good man, I heard the news when I walked into work today, the ironic thing is, you popped into my mind on the ride in I'm so gutted your were one of my favorites and along with Holyfield thinking about some of your performances have lifted me up in my own times of despair or when I needed strength and inspiration

your courage, will and determination all go without saying.. As we were in constant awe of your fighting spirit and extrodinary heart, you were just being you and wouldnt have it any other way, you didnt act courageous, you were courageous..

Thanks for the constant inspiration. My prayers go out to your beautiful family, may they get the strength they need to cope with this tremendous loss..


On a side note Diego I feel as a fellow Motorcyle Rider I have to say this so dont be mad... When I here you were traveling at a high rate of speed on your racing bike.. It saddens me that you werent careful, you owe it to your family and friends to do everything in your power to come home safe after a ride..

Whats done is done I know, luv you brutha you were all heart

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

I was ripped by this story this morning when I got into work... I seriously welled up... This is a true lose... The sweet science doesn't get warriors like that often. What a fighter... What a carreer...

What a tragity!!!

[stebs]

just seen the news

tragic - RIP Chico - warrior

fucking motorbikes, fucking death machines

It's very tragic that he died, but as a rider for over 35 years, I knew someone here would blame the motorcycle which is also tragic. I don't know all the circumstances behind the accident but I know it was not the motorcycles fault.

Tragic way to go out. This serves as a reminder that the fighters we love (and hate) are human, and deserve our respect, no matter what.

Peace be with his family and his soul.

A warrior just died...

[smashup]

Strange that he died exactly 2 years to the day after his legendary 10th round defeat of Castillo!!

Strange that he died exactly 2 years to the day after his legendary 10th round defeat of Castillo!!

Weird that

Greatest fight ever!!

[killersheep]

It all seems surreal, this would be a good time for Danny_G to do something that isn't slagging floyd and make a good tribute vid for Chico.

Chico, I thank you for all the memories and battles you have left us with. I hope you are in a better place and that you know your fans greatly appreciated your career, your heart, and for being such an all-around good guy.


R.I.P. Chico

Really tragic. Corrales was one of my favorites just on his sheer courage alone. On Sunday night me and a bunch of friends were watching Frietas/Juan Diaz, and I brought up how Corrales made Frietas quit several fights back before this one. They didn't really follow boxing so I talked about how gutsy Corrales was and about his fights with Castillo.

Goddamn what a shame, this is really a terrible thing to wake up and read about. My prayers go out to him and his family and loved ones. I dont know what else to say, I'm like all of you: shocked and depressed to hear that such a good, gutsy fighter who I really admired has died before he could even reach his 30s. Its a crying shame.
