Corley Stopped in Eighth in Argentina!

DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley suffered eight knockdowns at the hands of Lucas Matthysee before being stopped in the eighth round tonight in Mendoza, Argentina.

Matthysee was in control from the very beginning though Corley held his own. Corley was down eight times in the fight including three times in the final round where the referee rightfully waved the fight off after the last knockdown. Corley to his credit beat the count rather easily each time but was a lot worse for wear after the knockdowns in round eight. Matthysee picked up the vacant WBO Intercontinental super lightweight title with the win. Golden Boy Promotions and Aranobox promoted the event.

Corley is now 36-16-1, 22 KO's while Matthysee, a native of Argentina, is now 28-1, 26 KO's.
