Tyrone Spong Vs. Nathan Corbett Pt. 2/2

[@dhsu04]

I've been in a sanctioned MMA fight in front of a few thousand people at a local show. When the adrendaline is running and the crowd is shouting, it could be very confusing for a fighter.

[@amck72]

That's not true about the crowd adrenaline having an effect on the fighter because in the ring you rarely hear the crowd, you only hear your corner men and the ref.

[@justjuztin]

i totally agree mate, i have been doing it for nearly 10 years and i absoloutley love the sport. i just love how their so relaxed, the music, the wai kru they do before the fight, the clinch, every little thing about it. it sure would be great. hopefully we see more in the future

[@boulder000]

That's totally on the ref......if you see when Spong gets knocked out by Saki the ref waves it off and doesn't let him go, hugging him to his corner. You have to take control in the middle.....the fighters are there to knock each other's heads off, not debate what the ref is trying to do.

[@munchyman3]

So true. Corbett wanted full thai rules in this fight as well but Spong declined.

[@justjuztin]

yes i do watch them boys, they are all top quality fighters. down in australia there are alot of fighters who fight full thai rules, its much more popular then just your standard kickboxing or k-1 rules. its our prime fighting sport. now that you mentioned that i wont be expecting it. its a shame though, i would of liked to have seen it happen. their both great fighters.

[@tonyadams6336]

Yeah I've seen it. I hope it will happen in one the Glory events very soon because people want this to happen. I love Van Roosmalen and I think he will defeat Beqiri. It's going to be an awesome bout I think. Le Banner is getting old, but still has it. I'm not a fan of Kharitonov. Fun fact: I train at the same gym as Wilnis, and he is going to be hell for Levin. I don't know if Levin can win this one, despite his good streak. We'll just see, it's going to be another epic edition of Glory.

[@benwynkoop1]

As a referee you stand between the fighters when you waive off a fight so they cannot re-engage. It's that simple.

[@SomeFitnessDude]

I'd love to see a rematch between these two even tho it's never gonna take place. Spong broke his hand in this fight so he couldn't fight 100% and he was also pretty young in this fight, and carnage wasn't allowed to use elbows so he wasn't 100% either. Rematch between these two with elbows being allowed, that would be one hell of a game. Respect to both of these fighters.

[@bigpappachungus5273]

Spong smashed him

[@carichar87]

@1:00 how's Corbett 44-2 with 45 KO's? What he do, head kick sumbody at the grocery store? He must've fought one handicap match lol

[@GaeasBlessing]

The time keeper mouthed off to him after his 44th KO and Carnage taught him a sharp lesson.

[@TiciPomTv]

Because one fight was no contest

[@przadlo1488]

Why this fight is no contest? Fight was over before Corbett attacked Spong again.

[@makemegofast]

The referee had already called it off by KO, he was not clear on this and did not do his job. Therefore Nathan won by KO, hitting after the bell whether it was intentional or not should have been sorted out by the board. It should not have changed the decision.

[@justjuztin]

like ive said many times before, the fight will go to carnage if there was elbows

[@pem988]

i agree, also notes that Carnage was knock down in second round. he wasn't really himself leading to round three.

[@tonyadams6336]

Time for the rematch and get this Corbett - Spong question out of the way. And no, Spong isn't going to accept elbows this time either, so it will be kickboxing rules. 28th of September, Glory LA if some Australian media have it right. I hope so, would be an awesome fight.

[@JeanMontilla]

Both are great fighters, they have a diferents styles. Tyrong haves a great boxing job. Always that they fight, we have a great show to see.

[@justjuztin]

im not being a fan boy man, its just my honest opinion. if you follow corbetts record since that fight, he too has improved a lot. dont be soo quick to underestimate him

[@Charlie_Fucsard]

The question is would Spong agree to a real Muay Thai fight with elbows in the rematch? Elbows are Corbett's most dangerous weapon, Spong flat out refused to fight under full Thai rules & still got knocked out so it seems doubtful he would. Very cool that the vast majority of the comments here recognise who the real victor was that night.

[@tonyadams6336]

Toevallig wel ja haha. Would be amazing if he did indeed. Levin is a very strong and hard guy to fight I agree. But someone's gotta beat him some time right. I have a feeling this is going to be a very nice event. Though all Glory events have been great so far. We'll just have to wait and see. I like the way Glory is trying to get kickboxing promoted the proper way in the US. I hope it's get the appreciation it deserves as a sport.

[@barefootbandit83]

Ive watched him fight in full thai rules, split the guys head open and stopped the fight in the first round, forget who it was but he was from nederlands to, guy with dreds. it's not his elbows that are dangerous, just anyone that's lucky enough to connect with them.

[@mytube9899]

It looks like Corbett rushed in a little bit too quickly, but ref should've faced him and waved or at least stayed in between Corbett and Spong. In a high intensity moment like that, Carnage has to take advantage or it could've been him face down on the canvas. They were both in the wrong, but it's the ref's job to control the ring, not the fighters. Fighters are there to fight!

[@mytube9899]

At the end of the day, Spong didn't get up after the 10 count. Corbett is the best fighter at 90kg or under. No questions asked. Corbett walks at 95kg and could make 85kg, the only people that stand a chance against him walk at 110kg. They need 15 kilos (33 pounds!) on him to stand a chance and they still won't fight him with elbows!!

[@mardigann996]

09:11 Ref needed to wave HIGH AND WIDE WHILE STANDING DIRECTLY CLOSELY INFRONT OF SPONG. I am not a ref by any measure, but I reached this conclusion by what I've seen from boxing refs, at the highest level. Michael Schiavello was absolutely right.

[@Qudyn]

I have reviewed this video and I would agreed that the referee did mistake - he did step aside, he should not have to do that. But Corbett should have been careful as the referee shown "stop" with his hands. The next weard thing was that there was actually KO and than it became a "no contest" fight. Really "freaky" decision in the end.

[@dkneheli]

and I also meant Paulo Tocha, not Trocha....damn typos

[@rith5]

Can't believe who they got as the announcer!

[@MrChrisgabber]

Tyrone didn't want in the first fight to fight with ellbows,so he definitely will not fight with ellbows in the rematch(at Glory).With ellbows Corbett is imo the best in his weightclass at the moment.

[@MrChrisgabber]

Yes 100 word!Tocha is not a good ref by the way,he started to count at 2 when Spong was on the floor already for at least 3 seconds!

[@MrYoumitube]

All I have to say is Lucky Spong did not allow elbows in this fight or it would be "Goodnight Irene" In the first round. I think Spong will win the rematch and learned his lesson not to take Corbett lightly plus they are fighting k-1 rules again.

[@xNOFEARx58]

yes i know . Corbett is a beast and very dangerous with muaythai rules .

[@alizaidi3994]

Tune in on Glory 11 in October re match

[@jaredscrimgeour3745]

The real winner in this fight......Commentator, Mark The Hammer Castagnini!!!

[@DeVille1234567891]

i'm a Spong fan, but the ref didn't do his job right! but never the less i think Nathan Corbett is the winnar of this fight, Tyrone wasn't a 100% after the 10 sec.... Nathan isn't a animal they are both great sportmen!

[@mrmete]

yea i saw the same thing it didnt look like he was trying to do something on purpose afterwards he thougth the fight was still going great fight Carnage is the truth

[@vinnierex2]

how can you watch rematch live in australia?

[@MrShadowofthewind]

I still don't understand where the lack of respect from Spong towards Corbett comes from ,he is always very humble and respectfull towards his opponents yet in this fight the whole camp was not.It made me think of Hari ,wich is one of the reasons why i don't like Hari much ,he makes everything personal.

[@Deimian676]

spong got koed for sure but he wasn't allowed to recover and corbett attacked before spong got up. but i still think in a rematch spong would beat corbett he had him in trouble that whole fight up until the last round

[@pilligapigger]

Corbett smashed him should of won so what he had adrenaline and thought the fight was still going oh well it happens but so what Corbett won simple as that. love the commentator talkin I think he is spot on he was once a champion to he puts the nail in it

[@guererodelluz]

spong is on the floor at 3:20, on his feet again at 3:33 (13 seconds) and was still out and limbing no guard up untill 3:40(20 seconds) when corbett attacked. The fight was over and corbett won. But still the ref should have faced corbett (or corbett shouldn't have attacked) but this is sport and mistakes happen, i don't think there was bad intentions. i wd hv loved to see a full MT rematch but spong is a lot heavier now.

[@robinho1979]

The ref was waving his hands shoulder high..facing spong walking away from him with his back turned from Nathan. I dont blame Nathan thinking the fight is continued. Sill ref...Nathan could of had a win over Spong instead of a NC.

[@smashrine]

Nathan Corbett is known for his deadly elbows.. which werent allowed in this toned down version. Watch his videos, most of Corbetts wins come from unstoppably quick elbows from clinches.

[@bekeneel]

Where are elbows still alowed tho? Like without any guard..

[@MegaSthorM]

I´m 100% sure that Nathan would not punch him if he knew the victory was already in he´s pocket. I´m not australian, i´m neutral ... When youre in the ring it´s killed or be killed and until the fight is finish you are in kill mode, simple as that. This is a tragedy, the whole thing...

[@barefootbandit83]

The fight still went to him without elbows, he just blew the official decision

[@SomeFitnessDude]

I'm a very big spong fan don't get me wrong but spong has lost this one clearly. Tho spong was still very young here and he broke his hand aswell in the fight. I'd love to see a rematch between these two, tho sadly this will probably never happen..

[@pem988]

there is no lucky hit on combat sport, every punch can lead to KO. and then again if you watch the fight. carnage switch stand was a brilliant idea, i think that was the major factor leading to the KO. so i respect spong, he is a great fighter, but carnage was a better fighter that night.

[@barefootbandit83]

Well my wifes japanese and she always laughs if i'm bleeding so i still disagree, I know soccer kicks don't cause bleeding i just thought it was pretty brutal :D I won't argue that UFC lets the most blood poor out followed by thai rules, saw corbett almost split a guy instantly at xplosion 19

[@JMRWIGGLES]

tyrone greatest kickboxer on earth!!

[@deand_walkabout8040]

What a fucking crock of shit. If the referee waved it off, that is a fucking WIN and everything after that is fucking IRRELEVANT. Good on Hammer for telling it like it is.

[@ppofnz]

nathan won. he called the fight off, before nathan got him. however nathan went out of his corner while the count was on. not being like a critic or anything but nathan should have stayed there

[@marenolemmert9090]

Yeah..... was corbett blind? The ref waved his hands '' it's over, and still corbett hit him. A confused dirty fighter. Right? It doesn't matter yesterday...Tyrone kicked his ass. hahahhahaha Go Tryone...we love u bro.

[@andrewchesler2029]

Referee can‘t wave his hands high enough. What is wrong with him ??

[@boulder000]

Mike wanted to ride the drama because he is a drama queen, it gets him off....that's it. Fighters are the best commentators because they are neutral and call it like it is.

[@rambaasomdet3013]

Hey, even though Corbett was at fault, he still knocked Spong out cold!!! That two unnecessary punches in the end happens all the time in a MMA bout. So they can give him some penalties, but they shouldn't call this a no contest!!! It's not like he knocked him out with an illegal blow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@xNOFEARx58]

Remacht in full muay thai rules. Pls make it happen

[@ricoqwertz123]

They will Fight again!!! Glory 11

[@mikecartwright9091]

I like Carnage but that after the call shots was pretty lame. Carnage obviously won but what the hell? There should definitely be a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. I don't know if a NC was the best call but he deserved some disciplinary actions for sure.

[@escariotnah4872]

The referee screwed up the stoppage by stepping away from the fighters while waving.

[@dkneheli]

I meant "Bloodsport"

[@dkneheli]

Poor officiating. A referee MUST stand between the fighters when waving off a fight. He must make it clear to both fighters. In this case, the ref started to wak away and I can see where Nathan became confused. FYI.....the referee is Paulo Trocha, the same guy who played the thai boxer in Van Damne's "Bloosport".

[@edwinna1]

elbows this time?

[@amck72]

This was the refs fault. Not only he didn't wave high enough, he also stepped to the side which usually indicated for the fighter to go ahead and continue. The fight should of still been ruled a tko because Spong was in no way able to continue.

[@fire24jordan]

Spong is going to eat this guy alive in the rematch!

[@barefootbandit83]

I don't agree with what he did, he could have seen the reff from where he was i would have the same opinion if it were either one of them, i remember reading about this fight couple of years ago and they were both talking a bit of shit before it so it probably was on purpose, he probably would own him in a rematch, but what do you think if it was with elbows, think it would still be the same?

[@strafer8764]

He's had enough fights to know that the ref waving the fight off means the fight is over.

[@ameliamcgrath5669]

I dont know how much highter the ref could of called a stop...

[@justjuztin]

if they fight with elbows, carnage will kill him man

[@Deimian676]

too bad corbett weight division is with scrubs you only got 2 good guys that are tough in comparison to 70 kg

[@juggernaut986]

I want to see a rematch but in full muay thai rules..

[@junfatzoid]

It was a total misunderstanding! Corbett isn't a dirty fighter.

[@ppofnz]

no doubt nathan corbett knocked him out, i am a massive fan of both fighters, but you know shit happens ey.

[@bazbaz69]

firstly the fight had finished spong had lost so he didn't need to recover it was over the ref had called it.nathan only continued cause mainly of the confusion by the ref.lol and a rematch corbett would win especially if spong wasn't a coward and fight MUAY THAI the way its suppose to with ELBOWS

[@justjuztin]

i wouldnt never underestimate sprong, but in saying that. gives people a reason to doubt him, how can you call this a thai fight when he wont allow elbows? for him to run around n claim his the best in the game and not fight with elbows is a big let down and you cant deny that!

[@kegbetty]

Nathan Corbett World Champion

[@BoskoBuha99]

Very bad refereeing at the end and a clear misunderstanding in my opinion.

[@ImSuperVince]

The fight was fucking called off before he hit him again. once the hands wave its over. he won done dada.

[@barefootbandit83]

Been to japan? i lived there and they are not squeamish about blood, a lot of there anime there tv shows and movies are full of blood, like vono said, stops good fights. Remember you can soccer kick and stomp heads in MMA in japan to.

[@ImSuperVince]

"Im an Aussie" I along with the rest of Australia disagree.

[@Qudyn]

Yep, the ref's fault. On slow mo you can even see how referee hit's Spong on the sly... twice LOL)

[@bigwolfmayne]

Nathan is New Zealander born in Hamilton he's not Australian

[@przadlo1488]

Why no contest? Corbett won

[@tqdmrme]

this is bullshit Carnage's strongest weapon is his elbows he should be allowed to use them in the biggest fight of his career.

[@krevdog]

spong had two knock downs in that second round

[@rotyler2177]

You're right I think it should have been a count but guess who was reffing? :)

[@juggernaut986]

lol Corbett's Aussie he grew up in Australia

[@njpooch]

You could call a DQ from the punch at the end of the fight. I NC because of an injury? WOW What a joke...glad I didn't pay my money when this fight happen.

[@xNOFEARx58]

Nathan dont realized the ref. To much adrenaline .. fact is he knock sponge out .

[@Deimian676]

LOL djjeffa he didn't smash him as a manner of fact spong had the fight up until that point

[@djjeffa]

corbett smashed him end of story,Nathan is a better fighter than spong

[@tomjames7962]

two champions

[@livethechaos13]

not a fan of corbett but that was a KO !

[@strafer8764]

He counted to 10.

[@falangarang]

shavello is a waste of space..give corbett some respect, obviously it wasnt intentional..much respect for spong but carnage got robbed!!

[@tylerbalcin7341]

spong is conditioned but weak.. he s been knocked out by Saki with a smillar macth

[@Looking-great]

But the hammer couldn't fight and never did fight for a world title?

[@justjuztin]

not if elbows come in to it

[@barefootbandit83]

Yes spong was knocked out, yea he didn't want to fight with elbows, he was controlling and pushing forward for the majority of the fight and had a broken hand, both fighters got knockdowns, the're both good, yes it ended bad. a lot of hype lead up to this fight, they were both amped, things like this or not hearing a break or bell are common, corbett knows he did wrong, he was sorry, they made up like fighters always do know shut the fuck up stop whining and respect both of them for entertaining

[@KingRichardfirst]

It is the referee's fault.

[@GrapeApe5555]

Didn't Spong say he was going to kill Corbett? HAHA.

[@donisgood4784]

elbows?????????????

[@Menace39]

corbet won. even fighting under spongs wussy no elbow rules.. if spong was a true sportsman, he would have said corbett won at the end on the microphone.but didnt ! shame spong shame !!!!!!!

[@nestorweld]

w/ elbows next time......ok?

[@seidonpumba]

If there was elbows carnage would of knocked out sponge long time ago
