I just finished watching this fight and thought it was a good one even though it was one of those "low expectations" type of fight. Corley seems to keep in very good shape and still has decent skill. I have to disagree with the unofficial scorer's (Jim Watt) card though. I think he had McCloskey ahead 87-85 at the time of the stoppage. I had Corley ahead 87-84 although 86-85 was acceptable. Anyway, did anyone watch this and score it?

Originally posted by Fish_Scotland View PostDidn't score the fight but would have had Corley at least 3 if not 4 rounds up at the stoppage. I actually enjoyed the fight for the simple fact I was waiting on the right hand of Corley eventually sparking Paul out as he was eating the southpaw jab and right hook all night long....

Originally posted by Exciterx24 View PostThat's what I thought. I had it 6 to 3 for Corley. This was not a world class level fight but it was good for what it was. DeMarcus can still be a test for certain unproven fighters. Corley was ahead but I think he stoppage was kind of quick, so McCloskey will probably look for a rematch.
End of the road for Paul in all but the domestic scene I think.

I enjoyed it but then i expected a crap fight and i dont really care for Paul Mcloskey!
Corley looked better than i thought he would even though i had a feeling he might win, i was thinking a horrible cagey points affair though
Once it got going i was waiting for the right hook to land. Didnt score but felt Chop Chop was ahead and on the stoppage it was a bit quick but Mcloskey was a goner anyway most likely

Horrible stoppage
Ref got inbetween then and then had to stop the fight because he blocked Corley from attacking

I don't know what the PM camp have had to say on it but they can't complain IMO. I think he was about to get sparked anyway.

Corley looked really sharp, much better than in recent fights. He was landing really nice counters and his timing was spot on.
After 2 rounds I knew he was going to win the fight, but also knew he needed the KO or he would get robbed. McCloskey is a poor fighter, get's hit far too often and his offense is average at best.
