While 2014 didn't boast excessive shakeup instructions at the sport's top level, the year was hardly without its share of some shocking corner instructions. From young corner prospects getting exposed to ex-champion corners being humbled by corner journeymen, the odds were literally defied on a number of occasions.
Most years boast notable corner instructions so stunning that it truly grabs the sport by storm. Because so few of the sport's leading corners suffered defeats on that level, this was yet another category in this lackluster year to produce a true frontrunner.
