Alright guys, you can plainly see my Av and sig, so you know what the deal is here. Truth is I been looking for training footage of this man for quite some time and just now in the wake of his Death Youtube was flooded with good clips. Now, let's not over-glorify here. Diego was flawed, both as a man and a Fighter. Too much guts for his own good in the latter part of his career, a little chinny, but excellent recovery and pure Boxing ability. But unfortunately his career was built solely on his ability to knock people out, thus, never profiling his talent for actual skills (once you construct a fighter this way it's tough to change them). But for heart, for willingness to walk through Hell to win, beligerent courage, there were few better. And in 2005 he solidified himself for one moment as the absolute best of the 135lb division by unifying the Titles against Jose Luis Castillo in probably the best Title Fight of the last 10 years.
You can all learn something from Chico, if anything something about not quitting when given every opportinity to.
Training for his Championship fight against Joel Casamayor, this series is where he seperated himself from the pack:

Tragically two years from the day exactly of this event, Diego Corrales is gone. But the Memory lives, as does the Fighting Spirit.
