August 25th would have been Diego Corrales' 40th birthday

...And it seems the Boxing world forgot about it because of May vs McGregor



My personal favorite fight of all time. And with the HD upload you can spot some people in the crowd. I see Chavez, Jr, Toney, and maybe Winky Wright? You guys see anyone else?



Corrales making Freitas quit... probably the most heartless boxer I've seen, lol.

Discuss or don't.

Well, harsh as it may be, Corrales is a guy remembered for a great fight, not being a great fighter. His career sort of fizzled, he went out on a low point.

Sad but thats how it is.

As messed up as it sounds, it was probably a good thing he passed away young. Brain injuries are not a joke and he took some damage throughout his career. It would be sad to see a warrior like that end up punch drunk and poor.
