Diego Corrales R.I.P

[Hawkins]

Just read that Diego Corrales has been killed in a motorcycle accident in Las Vegas yesterday.

Aged 29.

He was an exciting fighter who took part in that memeorable fight against Castillo two years ago.

Sad news for boxing and for his family.

Terrific fighter.

[Bravo]

I'm in shock, totally numb. My heart goes out to his family and friends. Too young to die, thank Diego for your courage in the ring, we will never forget you. RIP.

This is a true tragedy. Although he had started to slip in his recent fights, Corrales was a true warrior in the ring. 29 is no age to die.

brilliant fighter, castillo fight was one of the best fights i've ever seen!

[Hawkins]

Has echos of another exciting fighter and a great champ in Salvator Sanchez who died, also in a road crash, even younger at 23 and with a record of 44-1-1 with 32 kos.

World class fighter with a nasty habit of giving his (then) missus a fucking good kicking, which ended with him spending time in the slammer, the tattooed fuckwit.

He wasn't that terrific.
Mayweather toyed with him.
