Advice which is technically sound but not really helpful or easy to put into practice: Goosen to Corrales, vs Castillo: "You better fucking get inside". Sure...easier said than done, fatso. Joppys corner man to Joppy in Tito fight: " Time to get tough now"....Joppy died a few minutes later having failed to get tough. Pavliks corner during the Hopkins debacle: "Don't let these motherfuckers win".....great advice!!! Kelly continued to let them win. Manny Steward to Klitschko or Jermaine Taylor ...."and he;s right there and you're not doing and exactly what I said and and and he's right there and you're letting him win and and and... " Vargas Corner, repeatedly, in the Oscar fight "He's yours!! He's Yours!! Don't let him get away!! He's yours!!! We got him". :: Chavez Corner to Chavez vs Taylor, First fight "He's INFLATING, Julio"
Jack Mosley has had some great advice over the years... "You gottta get in there and throw punches Shane" I wanted Shane to say "OHHHHHHH THATS WHAT I NEED TO DO???"
One of my favorites was Bouie Fisher in the corner of Hopkins. I can't quote him because I have no idea what he was saying. It always sounded like a mumbled Howling Wolf blues song. And Hopkins always nodded affirmatively like he knew what the fuck Bouie was saying.
"You gotta be all like BLA-DOW!! BOOM!!" (While punching at the air) - Yoel Judah, the worst cornerman in history "Brrrrrrrrrrrpt" - Floyd Sr. "Pour the water on his balls... His balls!" - someone in MAB's corner on more than one occasion (according to Ray Torres)
I think Ray Torres just hopes nobody else speaks Spanish and says what the fuck he wants. He was the genius who translated JC Chavez corner as saying "He's inflating Hoolio".....by which he meant that Taylors face was swelling badly. I mean....it reminds me of that Chinese kid with the Chingrish T-Shirt. It was supposed to say "Football Fever" but instead it said "Soccer Rash". It's the same thing, but its not the same thing. :: at FMW Sr "Brrrrrrrrrrrrrp". Its like....."Rattle off some high-speed camera shutter stuff, then.....go to the body". Some corner men are just spoofers,......"Go to the body..and then.....run...and...throw that jab, and then...........when he comes at you, Press L1 and Square at the same time, ok...." "Where's that condom the one I froze".
you better fucking get inside on him, NOW!!! was the best advice ever. and Corrales followed excellently... ::
Yeah, but Goossen was just spouting shit. My fucking pet iguana knew that Corrales had to get inside on him and soon.
I like "I'm'a let him out the cage " [video=youtube_share;60s_APrcyxA]http://youtu.be/60s_APrcyxA[/video]
I love it when that kind of irony occurs in boxing/commentary, when the timing simply couldn't be any better ::
There's a funny clip where some dude asks Floyd sr, roger and Jeff if their strategy is to have Floyd lose 9 rounds then "let him out the cage" in the tenth ::
Right around the 14 min mark, this shit is funny [video=youtube_share;dwEtojOTVDk]http://youtu.be/dwEtojOTVDk[/video]
Remember Torres trying to translate when Ricardo Mayorga called Vernon Forrest a "mayate" .. "that uhh, uhh.. that BLACK GUY hits hard!"
A Finnish fighter once answered his cornerman whi was giving such advice in the Olympic semifinals. Coach: when ever he attacks, counter him fighter: Fuck, I can't! coach: uh, ok...
