"Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened and I'll give you rest." --Matthew 11:28

We've all heard the phrase "God is in your corner." Sounds comforting, no? But if you've ever seen a cornerman at work (like you will this Saturday when Robert Guerrero steps into the ring), the phrase takes on new meaning. If you compare what he does to what we know of God, the similarities are striking.

Let's see:

He has his fighter's best interest in mind.

He knows what he can handle.

He never takes his eyes off his fighter.

He knows his strengths and weaknesses.

He knows the opponent's strengths and weaknesses.

He treats his fighter's wounds.

He gives wise advice on how to win the fight.

He knows when his fighter's had enough.

Win or lose, he's always there to pick him up.

Now, compare all that to what a cornerman does.

Come to think of it, have you ever seen a fighter avoid his corner between rounds? Me neither.
