"Alright, champ ya got one more round to show me something or I'm stopping it"

Can you guys think of times where the corner was contemplating retiring the fighter then in the next round he scores the miracle KO?

In my few years of watching boxing, that utterance always spells doom for the poor guy, who get battered into a stoppage or coasts to a decision, but surely in the 100s of years of boxing, this had to have happened.

And I'm not talking about a guy getting beat badly, or just losing by a wide margin on points, I'm talking Margarito-esque, begging the corner not to stop it then scoring the win.

 

Julian Jackson vs Herol Graham.

 

Gatti-Hernandez

Marciano vs Charles II

 

Not sure if it actually happened, but it might have in Ward/Neary and Chiquita/Sorjaturong.

 

We have a winner.

What about Danny Williams with his dislocated shoulder? There must have been such talk in between rounds.

 

Bowes corner was threatening to stop it then he made Golota quit in the next round

 

Those Words WEREN'T Uttered, but After Being BADLY Cut vs. Tommy Hearns & Having the Ringside Physician Examine it Briefly, Hagler Went OUT of his Way to End the Fight...

And he Did...




REED:hammert:

 

He did not score the miracle KO the thread asks for.

 

Robinson-Turpin 2

I don't know if it was the corner, I think it was the ref or doctor that said the fight would be stopped due to the cut.

 

Barkley-Hearns 1

 

The Williams one was weird, in that I don't recall the corner ever clearly saying they were going to pull him out, they were remarkable calm actually. I think also before the round began they had popped the arm back in so must have assumed they'd sorted it before it popped out again during the round. Saying that I'm pretty sure they would have pulled him out if he hadn't been able Yo take Potter out and the round had ended.

 

Can't believe nobody mentioned Castro/Jackson. That's the classic example of this, imo.

 

First fight I thought of. Good call.

Not sure if Tony-Littles qualifies, since he wasn't on the verge of losing. He was told by the ringside physician that he only had one more round before the fight would be stopped.

 

Do you mean Rodriguez, as in Wilson Rodriguez?

Don't recall Gatti ever fighting a Hernandez, unless it was a bar fight (or a cop).

 

I don't think Castro's corner threatened to stop his fight against Jackson, though, did they?

 

Other way around.

 

you gotta fucking get inside of him now

 

No.

 

"I'm fucking hittin him, arent I?"
-- Hagler, audibly, to Richard Steele when Steele checked out his cut

 

a savage display by Robinson there, he smashed Turpin

 

Doctor: "Can you see"

Hagler: "I'm hitting him ain't I"

:laugh11:

 

FUCK!:TLC::Thumbs:

 

It was the Klitschko fight that his corner absolutely lost they fucking minds. Sterling McPherson should change his name to Elle McPherson, that's how much bitch-screaming he did.

 

:laughing:

 

::

He could have had Brian Blessed in his corner that night it wouldn't have done shit, Vitali was immense

 

"Can you guys think of times where the corner was contemplating retiring the fighter then in the next round he scores the miracle KO?"

Not other way around. It would have been Castro's corner threatening to stop the fight and I don't know that they did? I would guess they did not.

 

It's got 3/4 of the equation so i wanted to throw it out there anyway

 

Kevin Kelley-Derrick Gainer was a good one...or does it not qualify?

 

"You are trained to fight with NO god-damn eyes!"

Ah Phil Borgia that brilliant poet.

 

LOL. That line actually sounds familiar.

Oh well, his eye was closed and he was getting checked by the doctor...close enough for this thread. ::
