Corley vs Mccloskey stoppage- terrible

**Hulk** · 05-07-2012 08:43 PM

I read about this one on boxingscene and the reporter seemed to believe it was a terrible stoppage and said McCloskey was still punching back at the time the ref jumped in.

Anyone got a video ?

I have to say I'm very happy for Corley. Such a tough guy, with deceptive punching power. He rocked the shit out of Miguel Cotto and Floyd Mayweather, hurt them both pretty bad. That was a looong time ago tho.

I thought it was a fantastic stoppage... the fact I backed Corley at 10/1 clearly has no bearing on my opinion. Fact.

Definitely happy for Corley. He also provides for about 14 kids I think I remember hearing? Maybe less but a fair amount none the less. I can't remember the story exactly but I know they're all not his (obviously) so bringing up that many is noble in its own right. (and probably why he is still fighting)

Yes I believe its 12 total or least 8 ?

I remember hearing he had to provide for his brother's kids after his brother was murdered.

He's a noble warrior for sure, even if he does like to wear ladies underwear...

Fight was another example of how crappy a fighter Mccloskey really is

The ref did him a favour. He was about to get badly KOd but can now claim that the fight shouldn't have been stopped. People will be much more likely to buy tickets for his next fight than if he'd been flattened.
