What was the worst advice a corner ever gave that cost it's fighter the fight?
Felix Trinidad's dad and Shane Mosley's dad, telling them there ahead in there fights with Bernard Hopkins, Vernon Forrest 1, i mean what the hell seriously.Quote:

Another one I can think of is Margaritos corner telling him to take it to Shane Mosley.
Probably Noel Judah telling Zab to "hit him, bam bam bam, just hit him" or some utterly retarded sh#t like that.
EDIT: Sorry I wasn't paying attention; didn't know I had to pick a choice:bucktooth:
Nah they told him to box it shows you this clearly, in the Legendary Nights documentary.Quote:

Lewis vs Tyson- Ronnie Shields telling Tyson to start throwing punches at Lewis. If thats all it takes then I want to be a trainer.

What a mug! :rolleyes:
I voted Hagler although there all hard to choose between as you can debate that the advice given had some substance behind it.
I mean
* Dela Hoya was clearly ahead before he started cruising, and still took the fight IMO.
* 'Maybe' Haglers trainer thought it best that Hagler should 'have a look' at Leonard for the first few rounds.
* Meldrick Taylor needed to stay assertive for the sake of keeping his will strong instead of resorting to survival mode. (IMO he barely survived that fight ;) ).
I voted Hagler simply becuase 12 rounds was far to short and alien far Hagler to waste time.
McCall's people telling him to rematch Lewis instead of going to rehab. Epic failure.
It wasn't a mega fight but I remember in the Vitaly Klitschko/ Danny Williams fight Williams corner telling him in the 7th
"You got him now Danny, Just keep doing what your doing"
Just recently when Victor Ortiz's coach kept discouraging him.
Zab Judah's dad takes some beating for consistent crapness.
I thought Oscar won against Tito regardless, but there is a big difference in play it safe and run like a b!tch. Title fight against a P4P fighter you dont put on the track shoes.
Erik Morales' dad, all he could come up with was, Put Some Water on his Balls
Haha, I never knew that, I'm positive Lennox even said to Larry after "He kept sticking his arms out so I waited for him to do it again and bam"Quote:

Punch him in the balls Kelly!
I went for the Taylor fight. I was watching that again the other night & I was thinking about how dumb that was, tell him to box fine, but I got the impression they were telling him to go in & war with JCC, which he did & well... we know the rest
Meldrick Taylor's corner telling him he needed the last round against Chavez.
Because the other two choices those boxers did of their own accord
Koki and Shiro Kameda telling Daiki that he couldnt beat Daisuke Naito so he should elbow his cut and punch him in the balls. Great way to get yourself banned and disgraced from the boxing world.
I remember Barrera's brother telling him in the second fight after doing fuck all for the first 3 rounds that he'd won every one of them. He said something like "good, 3 to 0, 3 to 0". What fight was he friggin watchin?
It was hardly a mega fight, but I was astounded by the ineptitude of Katsidis corner during and after the Diaz fight. I hope his trainer gets hit by a bus.
"No! Not that one. Give me the one that I mixed." Refering to the water bottle that has some sort of stimulant in it. I forgot what fight it was. But it was controversial. Do you guys know what I'm talking about?
Aaron Pryor vs Alexis Arguello I, it was Panama Lewis, the infamous black bottleQuote:

I'd like to add one though.
Hasim Rahman's corner in the rematch with Lennox Lewis.
Rahman came out in the first and was trying to block Lennox's punches by throwing both hands up in the air.
HIs cornerman told him "just throw your hands up like that. He can't hit you."
The next round Rahman was nearly decapitated.
GREAT advice. ;)
Not the worst advice ever, but one moment I've always liked:
Before Round 7 of Tyson-Biggs, Lou Duva starts yelling at Biggs: "Come on Tyrell, this guy's got nothing left. This guy is ready to go!!!"
Then Tyson KO'd Biggs about a minute later.
I think Lou Duva ranks as probably the worst at giving advices to his fighters, as people have mentioned here. The Taylor-Chavez fight ranks up there with all time stupidest advices.
i remember one time on FSN they were giving one of their usual crappy cards, and it was a Mexican fight the guy was like 14 W 7 L, against a guy who was like 5 W 9 L, right when the final round started the Mexican hurt his opponent and well his corner was screaming "cojelo, ya lo tienes debil, cojelo" which literally translates to, get him he's weak get him, then he gets stunned big time with a huge shot and his corner switches to "corre cabron corre" which translates to, run fucker run, the Mexican ended up getting stopped the same round, thought it was hilarious ;D
