    Cory Spinks is set to fight Deandre Latimore for the vacant IBF Light Middleweight title. Not hating but how does Spinks come off 2 back to back losses to get a title shot? Your thoughts?

    Spinks is a ***. He is horrible for boxing. Hope he gets KOed.

    Spinks was robbed against Phillips. I like Latimore but Spinks has the style to give him hell. Spinks by UD would be my pick. If I was managing Latimore I would avoid this fight at all costs.

    Spinks was NOT robbed against Taylor, but that fight was at 160 so it doesn't matter for purposes of rankings at 154. The Phillips loss WAS a robbery, I had Spinks up pretty clearly in that fight, and he even made it a more exciting fight than it had any right to be.

    Anyway, Spinks should be able to beat Latimore, who seems pretty average to me. I don't have much more gloss on it though, other than that it will probably be an ugly fight.

    "In an effort to fill the vacant IBF Jr. Middleweight title, the IBF has ordered that the two highest ranked available contenders in the division, #3 Corey Spinks and #5 Deandre Latimore fight for the vacant title."

    This comes from my buddie's (Lattimore's promoter) official website...

    http://www.rumbletimepromotions.com/

    I'm planning on going to this event whenever they decide to set a date and sell some tickets... I hope Lattimore pulls out a win as I've always thought Spinks was a bit overrated, and extremely boring to watch...

    Alot of people are saying Latimore is a bum may be pleasently surprised come fight night. Latimore is by no means a very good fighter but he is decent and has the speed and power to catch up with Spinks.

    IF spinks trains hard he wins UD, if he comes in out of shape not having done the hard work again it could be close, but spinks wins most likely gets the belt and puts himself back in line for a really big fight.

    Hopefully DK will show it on DonKingTV.com like he has for a few other untelevised fights.

    I doubt it, Spinks fighting style is very boring, King will problably figure no one will want to see it.
