Corley - served him right

[jack_the_rippuh]

C'mon Jack, Cotto is a fake cuz the ref make the wrong call? You know better than that...

No, not because of that, because he's not what people make him out to be. He came to the fight weighing in as a middleweight and still didn't dominate...that's just sad.

And thats another thing,Anarok you ignorant ****face, Cotto outweighed Corley by 17 mother****ing lbs. Jesus you are a ****ing wortless poster...and no boxing fan.

I thought the stoppage was too soon but a fighter has to know that if he gets knockdown and then takes a knee on his own then the ref is going to determine that he really doesn't want to continue. Corley was knockdown just seconds before he took the knee so I couldn't put all the blame on the ref. I actually don't remember Cotto really landing a punch before Corley took the knee. So why was Corley taking a knee in the first place? He wasn't in that much trouble.

I'm from Beaverton, Oregon but I box out of the Portland Boxing Club gym in downtown Portland.

if he got nailed in the nuts he might have needed the extra time. Was he hit in the nuts, again I didnt see the fight. The referee could have asked him if he wanted to continue or Corley could have taken the knee and then stood up again.

You know what, this just occured to me. If a fighter is knocked down and then gets up and falls again with out another blow being landed than the referee will pick up the count from where he left off. Meaning that the ref probably picked up the count from the 8 count before. Leaving only 9 and 10 to be counted. Is it possible that could be the case?...Rockin'

No that's not the case, the ref is full of ****.
The ref's first excuse for stopping the fight was that he saw Corley shaking his head and thought that he didn't want anymore, now he's saying some different stuff. That ref is a disgrace to boxing, he deserves to be banned and only get to ref at the WWE or something..

The punch that put Corley down wasn't a low blow and nowhere near his cup. Corley got up and the ref gave him the 8 count and then the fight resumed and seconds later Cotto backed him into the ropes and then he took a knee from no punch at all. The fight was stopped too early but I don't see why Corley took a knee. The way Corley explained was that he intentionally took a knee to stop the action and gather himself.

remember guys, that the ref would then continue the count from 8 if the fighter went down again with out being hit. If Corley was down for 2 seconds or more when he took a knee than the referee did the right thing in counting him out.........Rockin'

And so the streak of WS agreeing with this "boxing fan" ends...

Do you box? Did you even see the fight? I didn't think so, so shut the **** up with that bull****!

He took a knee to clear his head and assess the situation, and it was a good move. Warriors heart, pleaze, hes got a warriors heart for showing the stones he showed by slugging it out with Cotto early on.

You see Anarok, believe it or not, he came to win, not to put himself in a situation to lose. If he stayed on his feet he probably would have been clobbered some more, so he took a knee, not knowing that the ****ing hometown dip**** ref would call the fight.

First you say that **** with Max Shcmelling and then you rip on Corley after he fought his guts out.

Are you even a boxing fan? I don't see how you can be, what with all the nonsense and bull**** you say like this.

Well said.

I taped & watched the fight 4 times. Corley came to fight! He reckoned he had more than an even chance of winning & bet it all on himself. Cotto showed a lot of maturity in grabbing on when he received that right. Corley hit him with his full weight behind it. A lesser man would have gone down. Both men are tough...Cotto, tougher! That was no fight...it was a brawl.
It's going to take a great fighter to beat Cotto. When one does beat him, then we will have seen the next great!

Therefore, it's all bull**** speculation. I, as a fan, am merely content to see them come and see them go. I fully appreciate what they do for themselves and the fans during their careers.

It's like religion & politics....everyone has their own opinion!
