Boxing: Diego Corrales Interview

January 05, 2005 - Diego Corrales is one of the most feared fighters in the ring. He's pummeled opponents from Sactown to Vegas, scoring an impressive 33 knockouts throughout his championship career, but fight fans have yet to see his best punch... unless you've played him at Fight Night: Round 2 on the Xbox, that is.

"Chico" was already able to play an advanced copy of the game, matching himself against some of the greatest fighters of all time, from Muhammad Ali to Sugar Ray Robinson. And Corrales isn't a rookie when it comes to the art of polygonal pugilism. He's been knocking out opponents since the days of Mike Tyson's PunchOut! only this time, he can actually use his own character in the game. A moment Corrales has been fighting for since he first picked up a controller.

IGN Sports hooked up with the WBO Lightweight champ out in Vegas to get his thoughts of Round 2, his best knockouts, and his gaming life in Sacramento.
