Combat Confidential speaks with Jack Corr about his bout at GFC 2 - GladiatEire Fighting Championships 2 in a brief clip. Corr describes the fight as largely stand-up throughout. He says he was surprised when the doctor stopped his opponent before the second round could properly begin, because in his experience stoppages usually happen when the fighter asks to be stopped. He could see his opponent was badly hurt and close to a finish, but also that he was tough, still wanted to continue, and appeared ready to come back out. Corr adds that staying focused was difficult in that moment because when you are close to a finish you want the other fighter to give up so you can secure the stoppage yourself, and he already knew how durable his opponent was.
