Corley upsets Bracero in New York
January 22, 2012 By Leave a Comment
NEW YORK–It was upset city in New York as DeMarcus Corley (38-10-1, 22 KOs) shocked the previously undefeated Gabriel Bracero (18-1, 3 KOs) in the main event of “Broadway Boxing” promoted by Lou Dibella. The fight was for the NABF Super Lightweight title. Corley, who is 37 years young and coming off of a six match losing streak was not expected to win the fight. Bracero’s handlers felt that Corley’s experience and elusiveness would give him trouble, but not THIS much trouble. From the outset, Corley was in control of the ring. He was, as always, fighting defensively, but surprisingly was the one coming forward; something that Bracero shouldn’t have allowed. In the second round, a straight left hand landed flush on Bracero’s face, opening up a cut that began to squirt blood. The referee had the ringside doctor look at it immediately, but the doctor ruled that he was safe to continue. Corley smelled blood. In an exchange, corley landed with a more crisp combination, finishing up with a picture perfect right hook that landed right on Bracero’s chin. Bracero was down and looked very hurt. He somehow beat the count and was able to get out of the round.
