Just watched the fight again for the first time in basically a year almost, and I was so disheartened by the quality of Corrales' game plan. I mean come on, who told him he's going to win rounds without throwing a shot?
He reckoned he would lose the first 3 rounds and then come on strong for the rest of the fight. Sorry mate, but you lost every round and got knocked down 5 times.
Throwing 5 shots a round simply isnt good enough, and I dont even attribute that win wholeheartedly to Floyds superior skills, half of it was the fact that Corrales closed the gap then got held up in a clinch or didnt do anything and allowed a combination of straight right hands, lightning left hooks and gruelling jabs to the body to just grind him down...
What's everyone's thoughts on the fight once more?
But what would this thread be without another opportunity to see the fight?
So Here It Is
