00:00If the sport of boxing were a city, it would be Las Vegas.
00:19Both are bathed in bright lights, surrounded by the promise of celebrities and wealth,
00:23glamour and sex.
00:24And futures are determined with the capricious turn of the wheel,
00:28or the unpredictable decision of a ringside judge.
00:31Johnny Tapia, once the seemingly invincible four-time champion,
00:35is suffering a reversal of fortune.
00:38After an undefeated run of 11 years and 48 fights,
00:42Tapia recently rolled snake eyes with two close and controversial decisions
00:46here in the fickle and unfaithful city of Las Vegas.
00:50Now he's back and going for broke,
00:53looking for his 50th victory and a chance to win it all back.
00:56Next on Showtime Championship Boxing.
00:59So,
01:06we'll see you next time.
01:08Bye,
01:22Tonight, showtime returns to the entertainment capital of the world,
01:51Las Vegas, Nevada.
01:52We're at the luxurious Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino,
01:55part of the ever-growing picture postcard skyline of the famous Las Vegas Strip.
02:01This evening, we get set to bring you another night at the Fights,
02:04our second in as many weeks.
02:08Our main event centers around four-time world champion Johnny Tapia,
02:13who brings his boundless energy and optimism to the ring,
02:16against former WBC featherweight champion Cesar Soto
02:20in a non-title affair.
02:23And in our co-feature, a world title fight.
02:26It'll be number eight contender Felix Flores taking on last-minute sub
02:29and number 10-rated DeMarcus Chop-Chop-Chorley
02:32for the vacant WBO Junior Welterweight Championship.
02:38Welcome to the Mandalay Bay Event Center.
02:40Here as Mivita Loca, Johnny Tapia, the pride of Albuquerque,
02:43returns to the scene of his first defeat.
02:45It was right here in this arena almost exactly two years ago
02:49that Tapia lost a highly disputed decision to Paulie Ayala
02:52in one of the best fights in years.
02:54Tonight, Tapia headlines our boxing doubleheader
02:57as he continues his quest for a world title.
03:00Hello again, everybody.
03:05Steve Albert ringside from Las Vegas.
03:06The gambling capital of the world has launched millions of hot streaks
03:10only to squash each and every one of them with a cold certainty.
03:13Just ask Johnny Tapia.
03:15In June of 1999, Tapia took on Bantawait Paulie Ayala
03:18here at the Mandalay Bay.
03:19The sizzling 12-rounder was fight of the year,
03:22but that was little consolation to Tapia,
03:23who lost for the first time in 49 career starts.
03:26The rematch was held last October, also in Las Vegas,
03:29and again, Tapia lost a close decision.
03:32Match tonight against a Mexican featherweight with a vicious left hook,
03:36Tapia is desperate to break his Las Vegas jinx
03:38and position himself for one more jackpot.
03:41But as Tapia already knows, in this town,
03:44there's no such thing as a sure thing.
03:46With that, let me bring on my ringside partner,
03:49former world champion Bobby Chez,
03:50and Bobby, is Tapia still a force in boxing today,
03:54and who would you like to see him challenged at 126?
03:57You know, Steve, certainly Johnny Tapia is a force in this game.
04:00He has not only been a great champion over so many years in many divisions,
04:03but he's always been a tremendous draw,
04:04a colorful fighter who brings a lot of excitement and flare to the game.
04:10Johnny Tapia, at 75 or 80% of his best,
04:12is still better than the average champion at 100%.
04:15Given that, some people thought he'd really lost something
04:17in the first fight with Paul Ayala.
04:19Now he proved in the second fight, which I thought was a blatant robbery,
04:22that he not only has what it takes to win, but to win well in spectacular.
04:26At 126 pounds, I think not a champion, but the prince,
04:29Prince Nazim Ahmed, is the guy for him to fight,
04:31is the big money fight he was looking for,
04:33but Johnny still wants the fifth world title.
04:35Yeah, he wouldn't elaborate on his future plans,
04:37only to say that he's focused entirely on Cesar Soto tonight,
04:41but he said he wants to fight again in a couple of months,
04:44eventually go for that fifth world title.
04:45Let's go to Jim Gray with more on Johnny Tapia.
04:47Jim?
04:48All right.
04:49Thank you very much, Steve.
04:50He's getting taped up right now.
04:51And Johnny, the last two times that you fought in Las Vegas,
04:55there were controversial decisions which both went against you.
04:59Was there any reluctance to come back here and fight?
05:02No, I really enjoy fighting here.
05:04It's a blessing that I'm back, and I thank God every day for it.
05:06Now, Soto has said that he won't watch any tapes of you.
05:10He wants to concentrate on himself.
05:12You had told us yesterday that you did watch the fights of him and the prince.
05:17What is it that you see in Soto that could possibly give you some trouble, if anything?
05:22Well, you know, Soto's a very experienced fighter.
05:24I got a lot of respect for him out of the ring.
05:26In the ring's a whole different story.
05:27You know, I'm not a seam, I'm not a lefty.
05:30There's going to be a big difference with that, my speed.
05:32But the power that he really has is his left hook.
05:35Very, very strong cat.
05:36You're very interested in pursuing that fifth title, this, the stepping stone to get to it.
05:42You know you don't want to look forward too much before a fight,
05:44but this certainly isn't the one that you're aiming for, is it?
05:48No, not at all.
05:49You know, all I did was just sleep and think of Soto,
05:54and that's all I want to think about right now,
05:56and focus on that and take it to another level after this is done.
05:59We'll talk about that after the fight.
06:01All right.
06:01Good luck to you, Johnny.
06:02Back out to you, Steve.
06:03All right, Jim, Tapia, who fights with a lot of emotion, very calm and composed there with Jim Gray.
06:08Tapia could have played it safe.
06:10Instead, he'll meet experienced former World Featherweight champ Cesar Soto later tonight in our main event.
06:15So from the Mandalay Bay, we remind Showtime subscribers with internet access to score tonight's bouts online in the boxing area at show.com.

06:28Online scoring will not influence the outcome of the fight, and it's only available to viewers of our East Coast feed.
06:33So to score tonight's fights and learn more about upcoming Showtime boxing events, log on to show.com.
06:38Once again, the address is SHO.com.
06:42All right, we close in on our first bout.
06:44Felix Flores, who was preparing for rangy, fast-handed, conventional Nair Julio,
06:49instead has to adjust to a new opponent, slick southpaw named DeMarcus Chop-Chop Corley,
06:54for the vacant WBO junior welterweight belt.
06:57Originally tonight, Colombian enter Julio was scheduled to make the first defense of his WBO junior welterweight title against Felix Flores,
07:05but Julio, who upset previously undefeated knockout specialist Randall Bailey July 2000 in Bailey's backyard of Miami,
07:13was forced to relinquish his belt earlier this week.
07:16In a routine exam, it was discovered that Julio has cataracts in his eyes.
07:20Now the condition can be corrected in a 10- to 15-minute operation,
07:23and Julio, inactive since winning the belt, will be able to return to the gym just 10 days after the procedure.
07:30If he becomes medically fit, he'll be placed as the number one contender.
07:34So, number 10-ranked DeMarcus Chop-Chop Corley becomes the late replacement against Flores for the vacant crown.
07:40In 1999, Corley decisioned Julio for the USBA title.
07:44Here's what Flores and Corley had to say about tonight's fight.
07:50No, no, it doesn't bother me changing opponents,
07:52because most of the time that I go fight, I never know who am I going to fight,
07:57and most of the time I know who I'm fighting is on the way in or maybe two days before the fight,
08:03so it's going to be just like another time.
08:06When I heard the news over the telephone from my manager, I was excited.
08:11I was just smiling from ear to ear.
08:14Every time they tell me he's a slick fighter, I'm quick, so I know he's going to be moving his hands.
08:20So, anyways, I'll be there.
08:23They're going to see DeMarcus Corley come in the ring with a serious look,
08:28and I'm just going to let my hands go.
08:31I'm not going to hold no punches back.
08:33Flores sat there in front of me.
08:34He's going to get all of it.
08:35My hands are going to start getting to his body and to his face,
08:40and then he's going to feel pain, and that's when I'm going to stop him.
08:44Flores is standing in the way.
08:45He's driving my car, and I want to drive it.
08:49Come the night of the fight, I will move him.
08:52I will do whatever I have to do to move that boy.
08:55I don't know.
08:55I just have to see what happens on that night when they say,
08:59a new WBO, Felix Flores from Juana Villas, Puerto Rico.
09:05So, Washington, D.C. native DeMarcus Corley, on just five days' notice,
09:11receives the break of a lifetime.
09:12With Ener Julio out, Corley, a Southpaw who's 25-1-1 with 15 KOs,
09:17gets his first shot at a world title.
09:19Corley had been training for another fight of this card against a Southpaw.
09:23Back with Bobby Chez.
09:24Bobby, interesting situation because Flores was preparing for a totally different style,
09:29as was Corley.
09:31Who has the advantage here?
09:32Corley thinks he does because he's a left-hander.
09:34Well, there is some truth to that.
09:37Corley has always, almost always, faced righties.
09:40He prepares for righties and he's prepared for a rightie today.
09:43Now he's facing a rightie.
09:44Nothing's changed.
09:45Flores was prepared for a rightie, trained entirely for a rightie,
09:48and now is fighting a lefty.
09:49However, Flores also trained for 12 rounds.
09:52Corley only trained for 10.
09:54Conditioning factor might be in Flores' favor.
09:56Training factor in Corley's favor.
09:58All right, unusual circumstances indeed and a lot at stake here under these conditions
10:04because it is for a world championship.
10:07And let us take a look at Chop Chop Corley.
10:10Here he is.
10:12His team wearing headbands in deference to Boxer V-Tub in Scotland,
10:18a former sparring partner of Corley's who remains in critical condition
10:21from the injuries inflicted during a recent bout.
10:25DeMarcus Chop Top Corley, formerly managed by Sugar Ray Leonard,
10:28outgoing, super confident, wanted to be a model at first.
10:32He's also a fashion designer who makes his own ring outfits.
10:36Started boxing at 12.
10:37Career best.
10:38The split decision over Enner Julio has only lost to Daniel Lujan in a wild one.
10:43Bobby, he is a flashy southpaw.
10:45Style-wise, is this a classic Bull vs. Matador scenario?
10:49You know, Steve, it has the potential to be exactly that if he sticks to his old style.
10:53Corley has said that he's not going to be moving as much, sticking and popping from the outside.
10:57He's going to sit on his punches, work his way in, and get his pound of flesh more often.
11:01That is more suited to Flores' fight,
11:03so this could be much more of a slugfest than we originally anticipated.
11:06His camp says not to blink, that the fight will be quick.
11:10And on the subject of Felix Flores, trained by Felix Trinidad Sr.,
11:14trying to become the next champion named Felix from Puerto Rico,
11:18along with his former stablemate Felix Tito Trinidad.
11:20We have to ask, though, why is the number eight contender fighting the number 10 for the world title?
11:25Hopefully we'll have more on that curiosity later.
11:28Flores, in his first title shot, lost to Southpaw Shambay Mitchell,
11:31but acquitted himself well, even dropping Mitchell in round four.
11:35Do you think Bobby Flores, who's 2-0 since that bout, will benefit tonight from that loss?
11:40You know, he's a tough, hard-nosed kid that has a pretty good chin and some pop, too.
11:43And I think the style that he faced in Shambay Mitchell was so much like this,
11:47that it will automatically prepare him for him who know exactly what to expect,
11:50as he can only gain from that experience, and it helps him tonight.
11:54All right, let's check the numbers as we go to the tail of the tape.
11:58Corley, who just turned 27 June 3rd, is two years older than Flores.
12:01The height, all even, two-inch reach advantage for Corley.
12:04Corley at yesterday's weigh-in, they were both at 140.
12:07Tonight, Flores is 151, plus 11, Corley at 147.
12:13Key rules for this world title fight.
12:14No standing eight count, no three-knockdown rule.
12:17Fighter cannot be saved by the bell in any round.
12:19If an accidental headbutt occurs before the end of the fourth, it's a no contest.
12:24After the end of four, they go to the scorecard.
12:26So here, at the Mandalay Bay, getting ready for Felix Flores
12:29versus Chop Chop Corley for the vacant WBO junior well-to-weight title,

14:29Introducing DeMarcus,
14:31Chomp-Chomp Corley.
14:38And his opponent across the ring,
14:40he is ready to fight on my left,
14:42fighting out of the red corner,
14:44this vacant championship bout,
14:46wearing white trunks with red and blue trim,
14:48hailing from Juana Dias, Puerto Rico.
14:51He weighed in the same as his opponent,

15:03Tonight, he is making his second attempt at a world title,
15:06ranked number eight in the world by the WBO.
15:09Introducing,
15:10Felix El Colorado Flores.
15:14Once again,
15:20a referee in charge,
15:21Jay Navy now to give instructions,
15:2312 rounds of boxing is scheduled.
15:24The keys to victory from Bobby Chop-Chop-Chez.
15:54Felix Flores,
15:56we'll start with him,
15:56he has to get on the inside,
15:57he cannot win this fight from the outside,
15:59against the southpaw.
16:00Also,
16:00work the body,
16:01he wants to slow down,
16:02Chop-Chop.
16:03And lastly,
16:04the straight right hand,
16:04it's his best punch,
16:05especially against the southpaw.
16:10DeMarcus Corley,
16:11it's different,
16:11he wants to use good rhythm and movement,
16:13and also what he'll do is keep Flores off balance with this.
16:16Sit on his punches though,
16:17wants to get some pound of flesh,
16:18get that power in,
16:19and a good right hook,
16:20for the head and body,
16:21he used it oh so well,
16:22his best weapon.
16:23I will try to get the Chop-Chop explanation in
16:27as soon as possible,
16:28but folks,
16:29not as scintillating as you might think.
16:32Here we go.
16:33Flores,
16:34in the white,
16:35typical of Puerto Rican fighters,
16:36extremely game,
16:37well conditioned,
16:38he can box or slug,
16:39usually makes for exciting fights,
16:41good chin and heart.
16:43The lean left-hander
16:45in the personally designed,
16:47unorthodox trunks.
16:49He said they were rated,
16:51sort of rated R.
16:53Bordering on X,
16:54fast,
16:55relies more on his boxing ability,
16:56slick and quick,
16:58sometimes turns off some boxing purists,
17:00with his hot-dogging and showboating,
17:03but here on this big stage,
17:05fighting for a title,
17:05perhaps he'll tone it down,
17:07so we'll see.
17:11Should I give this a shot,
17:12the Chop-Chop explanation?
17:13Give the Chop-Chop explanation
17:15a shot, Steve.
17:16As an amateur,
17:17he was supposed to be 65 pounds in a fight,
17:20went out,
17:21had a big meal,
17:21came back 75 pounds,
17:23his trainer said,
17:24you should have Chop-Chop your food.
17:27Folks,
17:27I didn't make this up,
17:29Bobby didn't make this up,
17:30this is the truth.
17:31But we still don't understand it completely.
17:33No idea.
17:37Anyway,
17:37he likes to be called Chop-Chop.
17:39Well,
17:39he's a Southpaw,
17:41and he's half-dressed,
17:42so he's reminding me of Hector Camacho,
17:44actually senior and junior.
17:46Can he box as well as them?
17:47We will see.
17:48Well,
17:48he said the late change will be much tougher for Flores.
17:51Of course he would.
17:52It's easy for Southpaws.
17:53He says,
17:53we don't have to adjust to them,
17:55they have to adjust to the Southpaw.
18:00Flores said he's done well against lefties,
18:02even though he lost to Shambay Mitchell,
18:04he fought well.
18:05His last,
18:06oh,
18:06down goes Flores on a right hand,
18:10and he gets up quickly.
18:12Corley stepped in with a beautiful red uppercut,
18:13he leaned over,
18:14right leg,
18:15got great leverage,
18:16and fired up,
18:17and took the chin right away from Felix Flores.
18:20Out of nowhere,
18:21Felix Flores down for the second time in his career.
18:24He came off the canvas to win by knockout the first time.
18:28Let's see how he responds here.
18:31An early knockdown for the unheralded Chop Chop Corley.
18:36The same punch in reverse style.
18:40He used to knock Mitchell down.
18:41He used the left uppercut against Mitchell,
18:43and now Chop Chop used the right uppercut to get him.
18:46Flores followed that left uppercut with two straight rights
18:49to put Mitchell on the canvas,
18:51and now it's Flores.
18:52Pace in the canvas,
18:53a left hand down for the second time.
18:56There's no three knockdown rule,
18:58and he is on wobbly legs.
19:00Six,
19:01seven,
19:02eight,
19:03you okay?
19:03Tell me.
19:04He tells Jay Nady he's all right.
19:06He's sitting up here,
19:07come on.
19:07Give me a call.
19:08Corley has mentioned,
19:10and his camp said this was going to be a quick run.
19:13This is going to do it.
19:15Wow.
19:15Nady stops the fight in the first round.
19:18You want to demonstrate sitting on your punches
19:20from a guy who used to move a lot more than that.
19:23He did some work,
19:25made some great adjustments,
19:26proved a very awkward and tough style by time.
19:30Well,
19:31chop,
19:31chop,
19:31chopped up Felix Flores in the first round
19:35to win the WBO Junior Wadaway Championship
19:39in emphatic fashion.
19:42I've done it.
19:42You're the one.
19:43It's mine.
19:45Let's go.
19:48Let's go.
19:48Let's go.
19:49What a stunning turn of events
19:52for Felix Flores.
19:57Flores,
19:58who was able to hang in there
19:59against a seasoned veteran
20:01like Shambay Mitchell
20:03couldn't
20:03against Corley.
20:05Well,
20:05I'll tell you what,
20:06all due fairness,
20:06Shambay Mitchell,
20:07a great fighter,
20:08a lot of experience,
20:08didn't demonstrate this kind of power,
20:11crispness,
20:11and accuracy early.
20:12He played a little bit,
20:13danced from the outside,
20:14did not sit on his punches,
20:16bounced too much.
20:17This young man sat on his punches
20:18and let him fly.
20:23A new star is born.
20:25Watch this right up.
20:26We're going to see.
20:26Watch Corley,
20:27who's back to us.
20:28Bend.
20:28Look at him.
20:29He bent
20:29and turned that weight
20:31right up
20:31and he caught Flores looking.
20:33I don't think Flores ever saw it.
20:36Second knockdown,
20:37we see Corley on the right.
20:38Left uppercut this time.
20:40Bent, again,
20:41bent and drove up,
20:42sat on that punch
20:43extremely well.
20:48And the end of the fight
20:49was basically just clean up.
20:50He came in with all types of punches.
20:52There's a right hook,
20:53a double right hook,
20:53a left hand
20:54and a follow-up right.
20:56Flores was too hurt
20:56Steven continued there,
20:57but he held his ground
20:58for a little bit.
21:00Great needy.

22:58McGirt says,
22:58you have to be
22:59a psychologist
23:00as well as a trainer.
23:01He'll look mainly
23:02to motivate Tapia
23:03and remind him
23:04of the little things,
23:05little things
23:05that can be the difference
23:07between winning
23:07and losing.
23:10Set for post-fight reaction
23:11to Jim Gray
23:12in the ring.
23:15All right,
23:16thank you very much,
23:17Steve.
23:17Well,
23:17Chop Chop,
23:19five days ago,
23:20you were going to be
23:21watching another fight
23:21tonight.
23:22You would have fought
23:23earlier and you would
23:24not have been part
23:25of this event.
23:26Now you have the title.
23:27How about that turn
23:28of events?
23:29I just give all honor
23:31and praise to the Lord
23:32Jesus Christ
23:32for just making this dream
23:34come true for me
23:35to win another title.
23:38Something happened
23:38with Ineer.
23:39For some reason,
23:40he wasn't able
23:40to do this fight.
23:42And they asked me,
23:42would I fight Flores?
23:43I said yes.
23:45Was there ever
23:45any hesitation?
23:46Not at all.
23:47Not at all.
23:48I should have been
23:49a champion anyway
23:50because I beat
23:50Ineer Julio
23:51and then he'd turn around
23:52and fight Randy Bailey
23:53and beat him.
23:54I should have been
23:55a champion from the beginning.
23:56Does this mean that now
23:57on five days notice
23:58you can probably fight
23:59anybody and compete
24:00and win, I guess?
24:03Go back to the gym
24:04and train hard
24:05and look forward
24:05to whoever they bring forth.
24:07Now we're going to take
24:08a look at the knockdowns
24:09and we'll talk about Ineer
24:09because he will be
24:10your next opponent.
24:11But tell us about
24:12the first one here.
24:16I was thinking Ineer.
24:19Good right uppercut there.
24:20We worked on the numbers
24:211, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
24:24And I thought about Sean Bay,
24:27the way Sean Bay
24:28set him up
24:29with the right uppercut
24:29off the jab.
24:31And I said,
24:31let me try.
24:32This is the second knockdown.
24:33This was the left uppercut.
24:34Right.
24:35Did you know
24:35it was just a matter of time
24:36after the first one
24:37you were setting him up?
24:37Yes, yes.
24:39Because I knew
24:39he was vulnerable
24:40for everything.
24:41He's open for 32,
24:43then 45 is real good.
24:45And then what's that feeling
24:46like right here
24:47at the end of the fight
24:48when you know
24:48you're going to be champion?
24:49He told me
24:50with 1, 2 though.
24:51And another hook
24:52and a left hand.
24:53Bring it back.
24:53Keep fighting.
24:54I don't stop
24:54to get it on.
24:56And then the referee
24:57steps in
24:57and that's it.
24:58The ref saved him.
25:00Well, let me ask you now.
25:02In there,
25:02obviously,
25:03when he has the surgery
25:04to correct the cataracts
25:06on his eyes,
25:07which is not
25:07a difficult thing.
25:08They will be corrected.
25:09He will get
25:09the number one slot back
25:11and then you will
25:12have to fight him.
25:13How about that fight?
25:14I beat Ineer once
25:15and I'm pretty sure
25:16I know I'm going
25:16to beat him again.
25:17I'm going to destroy him.
25:19So it's just onward
25:19and upward.
25:20You just needed a chance, huh?
25:21That's it.
25:21I just needed a chance
25:22just to show my talent
25:23on TV.
25:24Well, they got
25:25your name down now.
25:26They'll never forget
25:26Chop Chop Corley
25:27from this day forward.
25:28Congratulations to you.
