WE ARE FIREMANNN WE LIVE IN THE HEAT !!!!!!! I love Teddy and he is a passionate guy, but he goes nuts lol answering the phone in the corner lol We all know "you´re blowing it, son" by Angelo... Amílcar Brusa was known for being a guy with good corner lines, it was more motivation stuff rather than tehcnical advise though. I know Nacho Beristain told Marquez in the corner about a bad habit that Joel Casamayor had, about some shoulder twitch or whatever, I wish I could remember it, and Marquez knocked out Casamayor because of it. But what do I know ? You tell me others, will you classic ?
Jack Hurley to Billy Petrolle in his debut fight in Madison Square Garden on February 18, 1926 against Sammy Vogel when Billy came back to his at the end of the 5th round: "Your're fighting like a farmer; get hep to yourself" and then again at the end of the 9th round with the last round coming up: "Tin can for the first minute: then step on it and knock that guy stiff."
It’s kind of cliche but I’m sure it’s rooted in a real situation (although I have no idea what fight or cornerman), but when a guy comes back to the corner and says he’s seeing triple (which happens when you get hit in the head sometimes): “Aim for the one in the middle.”
What about "poor some water on his balls! " That being said by translator from spanish to English lol. Can't remember if it was Feroz, el terrible or mab. This content is protected
Monzon said that when Briscoe stunned him, he saw a bunch of black guys in the ring, by luck he grabed the right one
Trainer Charlie Goldman to Rocky Marciano on October 26, 1951 just before the bell rang at the the start of the Marciano-Louis fight at MSG. "Make it a short fight...at my age...I can't be running up and down them steps all night!"
A couple that always made me chuckle: 1) Angelo Dundee working Tony Chiaverini's corner against Wilfred Benitez. Tony came back to the corner after being particularly grilled by Benitez and the exasperated Dundee could only come up with the sage advice : "Tony, keep yer f**kin' hands up!" 2) Georgie Benton was working Evander Holyfield's corner against Alex Stewart and Stewart had been catching Vander with some bombs and between rounds the dialogue was: Benton: "Do you know what you're doing?" Holyfield: "Yes." Benton: "Well don't do it anymore." 3) Lou Duva working the Johnny DuPlooy corner against Renaldo Snipes, and about the 7th round, DuPlooy, under pressure, obviously quit. I mean it was obvious to everyone in the arena, let alone the officials. And Duva, doing his best as a cornerman, unashamedly tried to convince the referee, "Hey, he didn't quit, he was only looking for his mouthpiece!" Laughed my tail off at that one.
Along these lines: I think it was Mickey Duff in the corner of Lloyd Honeyghan who ran out of advice during Lloyd’s beating at the hands of Marlon Starling: “Make yourself scarce!!!”
Bruce Seldon's cornerman when fighting Gerald Nobles: "You gettin' beat by a man with titties, come on, man." This content is protected
Joe Jacobs, Max Schmeing's Manager in 1932, sfter Schmeling lost the split decision on the cards to Jack Sharkey, 3-7, 7-8, 10-5: "We wuz robbed!" http://www.perno.com/history/we wuz robbed.html
" Hit Those Nuts " Word for word from Edgar Berlanga's Coach "Get close, get your head off the center, hit those nut's"! Cheater?
Dundee had many memorable quotes, but this one is a drama classic: Foreman vs. Moorer, Round 10 and Big George is badly trailing in the cards. Dundee: “You gotta put this guy down. You’re behind, baby.” Foreman: "Ok" And that is precisely what Foreman did, becoming world champion again.
Maybe my best moment as a cornerman went like this. My guy is behind after four rounds of a six-rounder. His opponent is blatantly head-butting him and has opened up a nasty cut or two. The referee has warned the guy a few times but clearly isn’t going to do anything about it. My fighter is more preoccupied with complaining to the ref than doing what he needs to do to win the fight. He comes back to the corner complaining about the butts. I get his attention and get right in his face and lock eyes with him. Me: “Are you willing to go through hell to win this fight?” Fighter: “Yes.” Me: “Well then take him with you and let’s see if he is. If he headbutts you again, I want you to hit him low with an uppercut. That will make him think twice before he does it again. Can you do that?” Fighter: “Yes.” Me: “Now go get him.” Right at the start of the round, the opponent leads with his head and butts my guy square in the face. My guy rips an uppercut right between his legs. Opponent goes down. Ref sends my guy to the neutral corner, deducts a point and tells him he’s going to get DQ’d if it happens again. Opponent takes the full five minutes. When the fight resumes, my guy jumps him and cuts loose (but nothing low) and they go toe-to-toe trading heavy shots. With I want to say about 30 seconds go to he finally chops his opponent down for the 10 count.
