Corrales was a tall rangy banger, who specialized in throwing laser-like right hands down the middle. A very underrated boxer with brilliant ring-craft,
Corrales packed the punch of a heavyweight and could put opponents to sleep with a single shot.
He had the desire and ability to wack guys out but had the skill and endurance to go the distance if needed. The smooth moving Corrales liked to throw shots from a number of different angles and despite his size, he could box well on the inside and he threw nasty right hand uppercuts in close quarters.
Diego freely spoke of his 'bad temper' and his ego sometimes got the better of him. His pride and unquestionable will to win drew him into wars where he often took more shots than he needed to. While some fighters may choose to box and score, he always elected to trade and go for the KO. This is what made Corrales such an exciting fighter to watch.
Corrales fed off the crowd and loved to please the fans, and please the fans he did - and then some!
