Stoppage in the Corley - McCloskey fight.. - Page 4

Scotty321 · 05-06-2012, 09:18 PM

When McCloskey turned to jelly, Corley didn't take advantage and steam into him.
It seems to me the ref jumped in when McCloskey had returned to earth.

Theres quite another stopping a guy in an important fight like this where he's clearly edging back into it, if not ahead, and had already been hurt previously and recovered. The guy was on his feet, and solid. Should have let it go and see what happened if Corley followed it up, now we have the 'what if' questions. Even Corley thought it was shite.

Our refs are embarrassing the sport.

Corley was being polite

He tried to make out as if the horrible stagger McClosky came out with after that punch was him playing possum and just a bit of showmanship. He was just telling the crowd what they wanted to hear.

Watt was spot on IMO. It was a shit stoppage and mainly so because the ref did react and jumped in almost instinctively and then realised he now had to stop it.

Watch Gatti fight back against Ward in round 9 or Corrales stop Castillo in their first fight and then watch that stoppage again and say it is good.

Jesus, the first one is shocking, the second one is just ludicrous. Williams even stopped and looked at the ref to say stop this, and the ref just waves him back in to pummel an unconscious man held up by the ropes.

The stoppage was debatable but IMHO Corley was ready to hurt and KO Dudey in a bad way.

TheUzi · 05-07-2012, 03:25 AM

The commentary in that last round really is laughable..

I just don't get the McCloskey hate

I have watched this a few times now and at first I thought it was a poor stoppage but everytime I watched after it became more and more clear McCloskey was hurt, although he was still ready to fight and was still looking at Corley, his legs were gone and I got the feeling that if it continued he would have been viciously knocked out.

during the fight i thought McCloskey was getting tagged way too much his reflexes look to be gone.... I was thinking during the fight if he wins he needs one more big fight then should call it a day

Chop Chop stepped in and change my opinion that he should retire now

Hes had a good career and achieved more than most fighters ever will

Oh and on the stoppage at the time i thought it was premature, i hate "british stoppages" as i like to call them, but I have to say I got thinking and i would rather see him stopped too soon than too late...

Yeah, we could have seen a Frenkel/Enzo type KO had it gone on. I think the blood all over his face made him look even worse.

Props to Chop Chop though!

Thank God for Ian JL otherwise Corley would have been robbed

All the "cheated not defeated" shit after the Khan fight annoyed lots of people, especially as he'd lost every round and didn't appear to be trying too hard against Khan. When it was stopped it looked to me like he had given up and was looking for a way out of the fight, then in the interview he starts moaning and say it was his plan to lose every round

and that Khan was tiring when he clearly wasn't and had hurt him just before it got stopped.

Doesn't take anything away from this being a bad stoppage though.
