Is Chico Corrales half black/half Mexican or Puerto Rican?

I don't know but I just saw Corralas vs Castillo 1 for the first time last night and that fight was pretty brutal and bad-ass.

We're actually watching it on HD right now. A 720p replay by Showtime I downloaded as an mkv. It's effing incredible.

I saw this fight in 05 and watch in once every few months and it still makes me jump up from my seat to this day. And its even better in HD.

Diego Chico Corrales. Doesn't sound like any black name to me.

He's puerto rican.

You sure? Why hasn't he shown anything on his shorts, robe, shoes or gloves that would depict that he was Puerto Rican. Most Rican boxers are proud of their heritage, even if they were born in the US, and usually incorporate the colors of Puerto Rico in their fight gear. I didn't see any at all with Chico. He doesn't have a Spanish accent nor has he ever spoken Spanish in interviews, ever.

I know he's American but does he have latino/hispanic blood?

He's 100 percent dead. felix trinidad has a lot of black blood in him. ****** were sent to the entire Caribeaan. Look at PR fighters Trinidad, Escalera, Torres and baseball players Delgado and Sierra. Plenty of African blood running through their blood, like myself, and all native PR

It's a great great fight but I still like Barerra vs Morales 1 more though.
