Well obviously there's "You're blowing it son!" Famous and stirring but hardly insightful. Nigel Benn once said, after getting a fearfull beating by Mcllenan in the 1st, that his corner instead of saying 'are you alright' responded "You've got him Nige!" (I paraphrase) Made him feel a whole lot better about the situation.
who was in his corner that night, surely not jimmy tibbs suppose rudy perez deseve's a shout, pulling marco out in the 11th against pacquiao:verysad. remember that fight launched manny in the big league and was huge underdog.
Can't remember mate I'm afraid. Wallet. That whole Benn/Barkley right hand malarkey was very amusing!
Eddie Futch pulling Joe Frazier out of The Thrilla in Manilla at the end of the 14th...:deal What a decision to pull his fighter out with 3 minutes left in the fight...:deal He did not allow his fighter to be punished anymore than he needed, he was blind going into the last round...:deal One of the best and bravest decisions I have ever seen, nevermind it been in boxing, the care and humility shown was on another level for me...:deal
it was Dennie Mancini who was working the corner with Kevin Sanders who gave Nigel that bit of motivation, others that come to mind is Angelo Dundee to Ray Leonard before the 12th round,- 'we got three minutes,three minutes and your gonna be the new champ' Mickey Duff to John Mugabi ; ' do it for the father' , some priest that joined his camp, didnt win but ****ing funny.
As Wallet said, Vic told Benn to forget all tactics and just go ****ing knock the **** out! It worked!! Angelo Dundee would have a fair few good/great performances to his name.
should of put a link in to Boro Chris, meant Benn in the McCllellan fight, Dennie Mancini was the one who said ' u got him Nige'
Paulie Malinaggi's cornerman (not sure of his name),who decided to cut off the ridiculous dreadlock style half-way through the lovemore n'dou fight. ,,although somone should have checked out the "predator " hairstyle before the fight.:yep
Freddy Brown doing Antuofermo's corner in the Hagler rematch. Sure his guy lost, but Brown basically gave his all in that ring and bought time for Vito and patched him up to the best he could. To me every trainer should be like Brown, with that complete faith in there fighter and the fact that no matter what they are in support of their fighter (at least to the public). Arcel was the perfect cornerman.
