This weekend in Atlanta, Georgia, undefeated welterweight prospect Troy ?Chase? Corbin will return to the ring after an eight month layoff that saw him sidelined because of some legal and personal issues. I have gotten to know Corbin fairly well during his time in Las Vegas these past eighteen or so months and he?s an interesting character to say the least.
Originally from Philadelphia, Corbin paid a visit to Arizona about three years ago and while reconnecting with friends he would happen to check out the fight scene in the Southwest. Upon entering some select gyms he quickly discovered that the temperament of fighters on the West Coast was different than what he was accustomed to.
?I was like ?Damn, these guys fight a lot different than we fight in Philly?,? Corbin stated. ?In Philly we are pretty much boxer-punchers but what I noticed about Mexicans was that they were straight bangers. So I came out there and got my ass handed to me because I wasn?t used to banging. But I loved it ever since.?
