mike's corner didn't need to let that happen.

Davey Moore vs Duran

Ingemar Johansson vs Eddie Machen.

How they could let Machen carry on after the 2nd knockdown, I'll never know!

Bowe - Golota 2 (although Bowe got the win in the end, he was brutalised).
Rios - Murray
Calzaghe - Lacy

Oops, in the wrong thread!

Ike Williams - Beau Jack

Great call. Tough to come up with a better one than that. Jack hung up on the ropes with the viscous puncher Ike blasting away with both hands. Chilling.

I don't think the corner threw in the towel in Ruelas v. Garcia, and they obviously didn't do it soon enough.
Wayne McCullough v. Scott Harrison.

Shannon Briggs against Vitali, should've been stopped by his corner after the 8th or 9th round. It was criminal for them to allow him to take the beating he took for those last 3 or 4 rounds when the result was a foregone conclusion and he was taking a horrible beating.

terrible, terrible corner ...

Ken Norton-Jerry Quarry. I never understood why Gil Clancy let Jerry take that beating. Shoulda been stopped sooner.

And Magana was just as bad.

Pac-Marg, though I enjoyed every second of that career-ruining beating.

I understand he asked Marg if he was okay before the start of the last round. I wish he'd mounted up even more punishment.

watching the fight now for the first time was suprised how well tyson was doing in the first round when he was moving well

Creed-Drago.
To think Balboa had the towel in his hand ready to throw it in for what seemed like an eternity, as if the action was slower to take place, before the fatal blow.

I guess you could blame the referee in these cases as well. anyway, Frank Tate vs Michale Olajide was about as one-sided a 15-round fight that you are going to see since Cobb-Holmes. It was aired in National TV but I have always had the feeling that I am the only one whoever saw it because I have never seen anyone else comment on it.

Some of these are more ref's blown calls than bad performances by the corner. To me Briggs-Vitali is a perfect example of a HORRIBLE corner endangering their fighter. Was just receiving a one-sided beating and clearly their guy was outclassed. Lacy-Calzaghe was another.

Of course, performances like Brewster-Klitschko I and Jackson-Castro are why corners are often reluctant to do that, but better to err on the side of caution in most cases.
