On this episode Co Smitty down w D 'Chico' Corrales had a rollercoaster ride
throughout his career. As he rose through the ranks he had to serve time in prison for domestic violence just two
weeks after his biggest fight to date against Floyd Mayweather. Undaunted, Chico then returned to the ring and
achieved even more greatness, World Titles and had one of the single greatest fights in Boxing history against Jose
Luis Castillo. Tragically, he died in a motorcycle accident two years to the day after that legandary fight.

Diego showed Smitty the advantage of his long arms that he could use to keep a distance
between him and his opponents. However, he didn't listen to his own advise as Diego was
always in the pocket going toe to toe with the toughest guys in the sport
