Joshua Clottey vs Diego Corrales

It convinced me that their should be weigh ins the day of the fights. Clottey came into that fight at about 170lbs (it was either a lb or two below or a lb or two above)...against a fighter who spent his career essentially at 130, and had basically never been the same after the war with Castillo.

WW v SMW/LHW? Not fair in my book...especially for a fight sanctioned at a catch of 149.

Now was it an exciting fight? Yes...but watching Corrales get hit like that, by someone THAT much bigger...I dont know...left a sour taste in my mouth.

 

Nope.

Watch the first 10 secs...Corrales came in at 160. But for a fighter who throughout his career walked around at 135-140...going against someone who fought his entire career above that...you cant help but think the advantage far lies with Clottey in that one.

And Clottey has also done this in other fights as well...including his last one vs Judah.

 

When there ain't a title on the line they can make a catchweight.

 

Shows the balls of Coralles, i mean his first fight at 147.

 

How in the **** does Clottey rehydrate 20+ pounds? That is absolutely insane, no wonder he has stamina problems.

 

Goes to show how a great fighter and unbreakable will Chico had.

 

Clottey claims on fight night when they weighed him, he was still fully clothed.

 

Corrales moved up to WW,he was in the same weight class as Clottey officilally.

 

was he wearing a trench coat during weigh ins?

 

Chico bit off more than he could chew....you have to give your body time to adjust to a new weight class before jumping in with the lions, and he payed for it....you could see the strength difference Clottey had....

 

shirt+jacker+shoes+jeans+loose change :tong. adds up.
