    Kesslers corner against Calzaghe is an example of an inept inexperienced corner working against their own fighter.

    In the third Norton-Ali fight, the bout was actually even going into the 15th and final round.Norton's corner told him to coast, that he had the fight, and to just not get careless. Ali's corner told him to fight like hell because he needed the round. Ali ended up winning the round and the fight. I realize the decision was controversial and many thought Norton was robbed, but the fact remains that Norton's corner should have never told him to coast the last round. Ali was extremely popular at that time, and often got the benefit of the doubt from fans and judges. Norton's corner should have realized this and not assume that the judges would see things objectively, because they seldom did when it came to Ali at the height of his popularity.

    There's no way Davey Moore should of suffered that type of Shellacking by Duran, The Ref should of intervened because Davey's Corner sure werent going to until Davey was Ruined.

    Shaw had talked so much **** before that fight he was no doubt afraid of the absolute merking he was gonna get if Lacy was brutally stopped. Nonetheless, if this is true then Birmingham should have kicked his fat ass outta there, a promoter is no-one to be making crucial decisions like that when a fighter's health is at stake and that fight should have been stopped by the nineth at VERY latest.

    Another one was Paul Ingle, he just wasn't there that night against Botile, was taking a hammering and should have been pulled out way before he got dropped in the last!

    Hagler was just getting told that that things were OK, that there was no rush to put pressure on Leonard. The last few rounds they just got desperate telling him nothing tactical just stuff like "Come on Marvin", by the last two rounds they'd given up and were not saying anything.
