    Good post, Indeed as stated earlier Corley isnt a good finisher at all. Its like he isnt expecting to win, but he catches his opponent with a good shot and then acts surprised. Corley isnt a ko artist but always seems to knock the best fighters out on their feet but fails to capitlize on it.

    He did starched Mayweather and could have had him out in the 4th provided he went to work.


    One thing that was odd about Corley was he rocked Cotto good and went straight working to the body. Why didnt he hit the place that was hurt? I realize body work is a good way to break down your opponent but if he is hurt you focus on that point.
    yeah you are right, he should of went head hunting on Cotto, but hey its over, I would love to see a rematch

      Id pay to see it, it was action packed and very competitive...Unfortunately it will never happen. Cotto is aiming for Vivian....That will be a tough fight for Cotto, Harris is tall and can punch. Im pretty confident in Vivian against Cotto depending on his chin, although I prefer a rematch with Corley.

        i think corley was badly hurt by cotto before landing his big shot , and he was fearing a counter plus he could have been himself and stunned by the amount of punishment he received in the firsts rounds.


        I WANT A REMATCH

            if Harris is anything like he use to be, I pick him to win over Cotto after seeing Chop Chop do what he did

              it seemed to me that the shot was around the side of the head and therefore that reaction was not down to him having a bad chin. All the great fighters woould have react6ed similarly

                Yeah that is exactly what I said (view post on pg 1) the shot was on the temple, not the chin, but he was rocked for a good minute

                  Just like the shot Roy took from Glen Johnson. It rocked his brain more than it did his chin. hitting the brain and shaking that up a bit will make your whole body wobble...All part of the nervous system, started at the brain and went right down his spinal cord.



                  A GOOD MINUTE? Cotto was out the whole round.

                    Cotto does have some very good punch resistance, I just saw the fight myself, but then again it wasn't from a heavy-hitter and he did get wobbled, If a harder puncher landed that shot...Cotto would have went to sleep.

                    P.S. What the hell was Corley doing throwing those soft ***** punches up close?

                      Judging from the fight and the fact that he got rocked by a guy smaller than him and can't punch, I'd say his chin isn't very good.
