What do you think was the worst job done by a fighters corner.
Im going Trinidad/Hopkins.
Tito would come back looking dazed and confused,like he'd been through a meat grinder,and there would be his dad screaming,"You got this guy Tito,He cant take your power!"
And then hed send him back out to get pummeled again
Yoel Judah's display after the 7th round of the Baldomir fight. Zab just spent 2 minutes on jello legs, walked to the wrong corner at first, comes back, looks up completely out of it and Yoel SCREAMS and starts bouncing in front of him just going POW POW POW moving his hands.
"You gotta do this Zab! LISTEN TO ME ZAB YOU GOTTA POW POW POW and then when he comes POW POW POW and POW POW BAM BAM! OK ZAB?"
::**
Jeff Lacey SHAME ON THEM 12 ROUNDS over 1000 Punch's what good has that done him in his last fight he was spent. the fight with JC done that to him his corner men were CRAP :( :( :( :( :( I just hope he is alright give them the boot >:mad >:mad >:mad >:mad >:mad >:mad >:mad
I was going to post that, but Jeff really did not want to stop, his eye was swollen but he wanted to keep going and take his beating like a man. Birmingham has been with him since the beginning, they win and lose together, there really is no one better for Lacy. His advice was not entirely bad, Lacy just did not deliver. Their whole camp choked a bit, they weren't ready for that.
i feel like in one of tyson's fights in his prime, one of his opponents had a cornerman who told the guy to brawl with tyson and trade punches
the guy got KTFO'd about 60 seconds later.
Im staying with Trinidad
Trinidad in the corner after the 11th"Am I winning?"
Dadddy Trinidad"Yes your winning Tito!"
No...Quote:

And then came the boom boom bang bang ;D
It was so funny when I watched the Mayweather Zab fight with subtitles ;D
They actually put
"Zab you have to BANG BOOM BOM BANG BANG BOOM!!"
Paul Ingle should have been pulled out in his last fight i was screaming at the telly .
Gary Lockett against Yuri Tserenko was another possible career ending beating .
I second this one......Quote:

One of the worst corners I've seen was Tyson's in the Buster Douglas fight, that was shameful. I think Tito was let down by his corner in both of his losses, in the Wright fight they did nothing to help him.
I also think that whoever was in Luis Collazo's corner during the SSM fight let him down. How about giving your fighter some goddamn advice when he's getting his ass handed to him instead of calling him champ 20 times and then sending him back to get mauled some more.
Which was the Tyson fight where they had no water and no replacement gumshield ?
It was a real comedy of errors , think it was a John Horne corner .
The Douglas fight they had no cold press, no ice bag (they ended up with a makeshift one) and a whole bunch of other stuff. I remember seeing on Legendary Nights I think it was how the corner brought their robes and their shirts, and then went to a convinience store to buy a bottle of water, some q tips and vaseline and that's what they went into the corner with. The bucket and stool were provided.
To me that completely explains the disintegration of Tyson's skills. Once he got surrounded by Don King he changed trainers, corner, got some crazy dude as a manager?? Remember after Tyson bit Holyfield and that guy was arguing with the commentators about Mike's eye? He was a freak, that's what happened to Tyson, he surrounded himself with incompetent people and they all just complimented Mike instead of making him work.Quote:

Remember him almost going for the ref .?.......( Joe Cortez or Stele?)
roy jones junior vs. brannon.
brannon was floored, went back to his corner and they dint even give him a stool to sit down on, instead jus soaked him in water while standing up
hey, ANY of yoels pow pow pow speaches are 5000 times better then chris byrds wifes 'YOUR FIGHTING STUPID, YOU GOTTA FIGHT SMART'Quote:

Although I will say, one thing about Yoel..... unlike a lot of fathers (Jack Mosley, Trinidad Sr.) he's honest with Zab. If Zab is losing, he tells him he's losing. He doesn't just keep saying "Good job son, looking great."
Ricky Qullies corner against Campbell. "......Referee stop the fight, referee stop the fight...."
Good call. Not only that, then Duva proceeds to distract Meldrick WHILE Richard Steele was asking him if he was ok.Quote:

Total stuff up and he lost a fight he would have won.
Good choices, but I got to go with the condom filled with water to heal the swelling of Tyson's eye.
Don King and Co. destroyed Mike. That was the most ridiculous thing I ever saw.
Even though he won, and won the rematch, Aaron Pryor's trainer was pretty stupid about advertising his "special mixed" bottle. I'm a true Pryor fan, but that was stupid IMO. Don't think he cheated, but why advertise it if you do? Some guys need they're head checked.
Tyson's corner during the Douglas fight.....They didn't even have end swell... ::**
Tyson's corner didn't tell him JACK during the Douglas fight....."you're doing good champ"
When Tyson got rid of Rooney he got rid of the one guy who would tell him the truth (and also make sure he trained properly)
I can't wait to see Lou Duva's expression when his kid Michael Marrone gets sparked the fuck out!
CC. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I totally remember this thinking "Where's the advice and why is Yoel trying to prove that he can still fight?" He was going so wild I thought he might have accidentally knocked Zab out.Quote:

Before getting knocked out in the fifth..
Its not a bad way to wake a fighter up..
I'm with ya on that one.Quote:

Do you have a source for this or a link?
Would really appreciate it. :)
Vargas's corner when they sent him back in to get slaughtered by Tito.
Amen to that one.Quote:

As much as it pains me to say it, I'd say it was Trinidad's corner during the Winky fight.
We Tito fans got used to some intensity in Tito's corner. Matter of fact, it became expected for Tito's dad to slap Tito at some point to sort of "kick start" him into a higher gear. That was when we'd all get riled up, because we knew that Tito was going to "kick some ass" after that.
But his corner was strangely subdued during the Winky fight. We kept waiting... and waiting.... and waiting... for something that never came. There was no good advice, no words of wisdom, no encouragement, no slapping some fire into Tito..... no nothing. Tito seemed listless and lost as the rounds wore on. For me anyway, it was painful to see.
So yeah, Tito's corner during the Winky fight did shitty work.
Mike Tyson's corner for the "Buster" Douglas fight.....could not be worse.....:)Quote:
