Boxer Diego "Chico" Corrales was driving drunk at more than three times the legal limit when he crashed his motorcycle and died, police said Tuesday.

"It's quite possible that had he not been impaired, he could have prevented his accident," Las Vegas police Sgt. Tracy McDonald said after toxicology tests showed Corrales' blood-alcohol content was 0.25 percent. The legal limit for drivers in Nevada is 0.08 percent.

That's sad how stuff turns out.

You can't play with your life. Anything can happen.

What the cop said was right, he basically killed himself.

More importantly, he could of taken someone else's life, because he's a fool.

Doesn't surprise me, but doesn't make me think any less of him. Drinking and driving is ******, completely and utterly, but everyone I know (but me) has done it once or twice and thanked their lucky stars that didn't get caught, and swear never to do it again. I doubt he did it often. He'd just gotten the bike, so I suspect he'd just gotten tanked up a little and thought he'd take his new toy for a ride.....after all, who's he gonna kill on a bike, right?

Sure gonna miss that guy. I hope he left his family OK.

Shiet happens. We all know the consequences. Too bad, he was still one of the most entertaining fighters of my time!

Very selfish thing to do indeed. You'd think that his kids were worth more to him than "living his life the way that he wanted to" and all of that.
