Nelson far too smart... I see him taking a careful approach early out of respect for corrales power but he gradually turns the heat up and is issuing a beating in the late rounds
I'd like to think Corrales could've won this fight. And he certainly had the punching power and hands-speed, not to mention the height, to dictate the pace and the course of the fight.
he fought largely like a short man and lacked the mobility to really use his reach... he lacked the boxing skills, quite frankly... it's one thing to "outbox" a fighter like Joel Casamayor, who did not know how to come forward and who frankly was clearly not expecting that strategy... quite another to outbox a super-skilled pressure guy like Nelson who knew how to get in range with a fine jab and a sharp right behind it
I can see Azumah lulling Chico into believing he's controlling the action, then eventually light him up as the fight progresses. Would be tough for me to watch - huge Chico fan and for whatever reason never cared for Nelson. But I just don't like Chico's chances at all in this one.
