Good write-up on the fight Matt.

Thanks Chris. Since the fight is over I can now tell you that I shared your belief about Stevenson. I figured he would dispatch Corbett sometime before the end of the contest. Corbett's the kind of guy that doesn't always engender the kind of respect he deserves. Like Sweat Pea Whitaker, he may not hit you with anything that could even break wind, but he just doesn't get hit by much of anything, either. I imagine it would be very frustrating for a well-respected puncher to dance the two-step with a guy like this. You go twelve, don't really get hit with anything approaching a power shot, and then fall in a unanimous decision. You can't say Corbett didn't earn it. He just fought a whole different type of bout than Stevenson.
