They had all his belts on stands around his coffin, flowers sent from people like Jose Sulaimon, paintings of pictures from some of his fights. they had a big projector screen showing family pictures of him like on christmas and with freinds and pictures at weigh ins and with Mosely and Hagler and lots with him and his wife, they were playing some slow songs and one was "Three times a lady"... I dont know why they would play that at such a tough guys viewing but it really added to the saddness looking at him so happy with his wife and holding her preganant stomach while hearing it.

    I was only there for like a half hour but I saw Richard Steele there. The news here talked about the viewing and showed Kevin Kelley and Chris Byrd there.

    It was real sad. Like I said before, I never show sadness and I even make fun of people Ive known about how they were killed, but Diego COrrales dieing really hit me hard. I almost felt like crying.

            Obviously you never seen a Corrales fight. How's that foot taste? What did Corrales do to make so many people care about him? He fought his ****ing heart out everytime he was in the ring for starters. He won one of the greatest fights of the last 25 years in dramatic, come from behind fashion with his ****ing eyes swollen shut.

            Apart from his bravery and courage in the ring, he was also a very humble, down to earth fighters you could ever meet. There wasn't an arrogant bone in his body and he was always willing to go out of his way for interviews with the media and his fans.

            I can honestly say Diego Corrales is the only fighter I've ever seen who wore a smile 24/7, even in defeat. He was happy to be alive and truly cared about the people who watched his fights.

              and he cheated his way to victory.
              which was proven when he got koed easily in the rematch
