Earlier tonight former two division world champion Diego Corrales, 29, got into a motorcycle accident in Las Vegas, Nevada and was pronounced dead at the scene. Moments ago Corrales manager James Prince confirmed the grim news to Boxingtalk. Corrales will always be remembered as a warrior in the ring and our deepest condolences go out to his entire family.
Diego had one of the biggest hearts I ever saw since I started following boxing. A true warrior and a good man. Diego, thanks for the memories, RIP Chico.

It is so sad, just yesterday I was playing fight night and I was diego fighting pacman because he was one of my favorite fighters. Today I wake up to the news that he is gone. I'll always remember his fight against castillo and him as one of the biggest warriors I have seen in any sport. God bless him, his wife, and his unborn child.
