Hugo Corro vs Ayub Kalule

Sorry, Senor... but you got your facts wrong!

Kalule and Palm never met - not as pros, and not in the amateurs either.

 

!!!!!!!!!!

 

Sorry Bukkake,,,,,

Yes they did in 1975, at a Danish Tournament

Hans-Henrik Palm defeated Ayub Kalule.

In March 1976, Ayub returned the favor, be defeating Hans-Henrik.

Ayub Kalule turned professional in April 1976.

 

Sorry again, Senor... but your information is all wrong!


The first time Ayub set foot on Danish soil was early '76 - where he was the star of a Ugandan amateur team touring Scandinavia. On this occasion he beat Britain's Graham Moughton (brought over, when no Danish boxer fancied the job!), who was stopped in the first round due to injury (cut eye).


This was the only amateur fight he had in Denmark - and he never fought Palm!

 

Well, we'll have to do a little more research.

Articles out there state that Ayub Kalule was brought to Denmark
by Mogens Palle in 1975.

No research needed - the facts are as I have put them.

 

Mogens Palle stated that Ayub Kalule, while in Denmark in late-1975,

fought England's Delroy Parkes in a European Cup Tournament

 

I don't know how to explain this to you - but this is simply not true!

 

I also have Palle saying that though, I'll pull the quote up, if nothing else it's interesting...

 

I won't give my opinion on this topic until the issue of Kalule's boxing history in Denmark is cleared up.

 

Ayub Kalue was 'not' on the 1975 Ugandan Boxing Team that went to
the 1975 pre-Olympic Tournament in Canada in November 1975.

Jones Okoth was the 63.5 (Kg) Light-Welterweight representative for Uganda.

Ayub Kalue, was gone.

 

Meh, checke article in question, didn't say what I thought it did, apologies.

 

All this aside, Corro was a master at slowing a fight down to a minimum, much in the way Hopkins does, which is why Corro has always been deemed boring. He did it in both fights with Valdez, Harris and was doing it with Antuofermo until Vito's corner set a fire under his stool and he went out with abandon, which is how Corro needed to be fought. Vito let the punches fly and earned his victory down the stretch. Corro did nothing those last five except try to evade the punches coming his way. Kalule wasn't always just counter-punching. When he went on the attack he was outstanding. I always maintain he should have stayed at 160 and he would have been in the thick of the Hagler-Vito-Minter-Sibson-Hamsho era. He may not have won a title but we would have had some fights to watch. All this aside, I see Kalule letting his hands go for 15 and copping the decision against the very tentative Hugo Corro.

True, when Kaluke went on the offensive he could maintain it well. As an amateur he was all action, check out the footage of him at the commonwealth games battering Ray Heaney.

 

If Ayub couldn't beat Ray Leonard, than no way could he beat Hugo Corro.

If the 'super stylist' Ronnie Harris couldn't figure out Hugo, Mr. Kalule couldn't.
