    Spinks lasted 91 seconds vs Tyson and Williams last 93 seconds. Who wins the battle of Tysons 90 second victims?

    Williams was vulnerable to a hard left hook and Spinks was a big puncher....at light heavyweight. Williams was a bonafide heavyweight.

    Spinks mid-late rounds KO/TKO, he’d certainly set one up on that high chin of Williams, he steps closer with that jab to the body and lowers the boom to the chin with the right hand, he’d land it throughout the fight and would outbox Williams also, staying tight, avoiding being tagged clean and launching explosive, surprise attacks.
