DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley

A thread dedicated solely to Demarcus Corley

 

Chop Chop is way past being an able body but still has something left to earn a living

 

Style based mostly on speed, when he slowed down his low workrate and lack of serious one shot power meant most could walk over him. But his very well schooled technique, years of expereince and southpaw style. Will still keep him winning fights and competative. he has tested every guy he has lost to so I dont think he is a lost cause.

He reminds me of a later don curry, his style changed due to his age but he was still effective and a tough guy to beat.




Good luck to him, he is a top 30 opperator. Look how Randall bailey is still getting ranked , after some years of obscurity

 

This.

 

Last time I saw Chop Chop, he got jobbed.

 

Im a fan.... tough fighter, exciting to watch and gave for some exciting moments. A credit to the sport. Wish him success with the rest of his career.

 

how his last fight ended

As of last night, Corley is back on the winning track with a fourth round TKO of game trial horse Damian Fuller (a few rounds faster than Lamont Peterson or Tyrone Harris got the job done, but a round later than the late Chico Corrales did).

The victory snaps a two-loss skid, and he was coming off a particularly brutal KO loss to Freddy "El Riel" Hernandez which had many ringside and TV observers concerned for his well-being and skeptical of him ever returning to action.

He is now 8-12 in his last 20.

For someone who's traded mitts with some of the best in the business and taken some prolonged absolute beatings from HOF talent, he's still fairly sharp but is now at best a fringe contender. He can box and punch, and is a fairly accurate and classy combination wrangler for a 36 year old, but his power, speed, and reflexes have all taken a hit...as has punch resistance that was never top-notch to begin with.

He's had a good career, and whenever Chop Chop lays down the axe, he'll be able to look back with pride. He's always given a good account of himself.

Hopefully he can rack up a few more decent wins and maybe land one big payday. :good

 

So you are referring to Fariz Kazimov in Russia last November, because there's no way you can be referring to his last fight before you made this post, where he was brutally KTFO on Showtime by Freddy Hernandez. There is simply no possible way to view that as a jobbing.

That was a real coming out party for "El Riel". Corley kept it close and at times frustrated Hernandez with his southpaw style, as people have said - but by the fifth and final round the young Mexican's superior power was starting to make a dent, and you could almost smell it in the air before the skull-cracking right hand that put Corley's future in doubt.

 

he is beyond shot and has been for years now

 

Thank you for the positive and enlightening contribution, Boom_Boom. We'd be lost without you.

 

You could maybe try and :readthre: before blurting out a knee-jerk response to the title next time.

Nobody's hyping him as a legitimate title challenger or world-beater anymore (if ever).

The tone of this thread (from my posts and those of thread starter J Griz 757, anyway) is one of respectful appreciation for a solid journeyman. Statements like Boom_Boom's are unnecessary and unwanted. :hi:
