Diego Corrales: All or Nothing

08.05.07 - By Jeremy “NR” Ebert: With the death of former boxing champion, Diego "Chico" Corrales, we are once again reminded that despite our best efforts, we can't cheat the moment our last breath is released. Inside the ring, Corrales was the ultimate example of an often used boxing cliché—the ‘ring warrior’. It didn't matter who the opponent might be, "Chico" could be counted on to keep the paying customer in the seats riveted upon the edge of them.

At times, such as in his most memorable battle against Jose Luis Castillo (I), it seemed as if Corrales had no hesitation about toeing the line with danger. "Hooking with a hooker", Corrales traded with Castillo, balls to the wall for ten hellacious rounds—a fight that more than justifiably belongs in any discussion about the greatest bouts in boxing history. He tested himself that night, not blinking at the face of defeat, even after two mind numbing knockdowns at the hands of Castillo. As was the case with his entire life, he faced defeat with bravado and rose back up to clutch victory in his hands. It was just within the fiber of his being, to never back down. Not against Castillo—not against risk. continue l no comment
