David Benavidez vs Michael Spinks 175lbs primes

oh man i knew this **** was coming up AS SOON!!!!! as the fight ended

 

Spinks consistently finds a home for the right hand and survives a tough first few rounds to stop Benavidez in the 7th.

 

'



I like David but he doesn't have the power to hurt Spinks. I would give peak Beterbiev an okayish shot vs Spinks as he had plenty of power + skills but David just doesn't

 

Tyson knocked out Spinks

 

They are on different levels. Not only Spinks is way better boxer skillwise, he is also stronger, has higher ring IQ and hits way harder. Spinks by KO

 

You think Artur is as powerful as Kid Dynamite?

 

David Benavidez HAS to win. Why ? Because he JUST won a fight against an average contender tonight !!

 

See Spinks vs Yauqi Lopez for a good indication of how this plays out.

 

Spinks win s

 

Spinks wins this with little trouble.

Spinks the fighter was complete and could do it all. At 6' 2" Spinks was one of the biggest light heavyweight Champions in history. His fighting style is best described as being a boxer-puncher. He was a tremendous two handed puncher who could box and dictate with his jab and knew how to utilize his height and reach versus taller and shorter opponents. As he was forced to do in his Light Heavyweight unification bout with 5' 7" WBC Champ Dwight Muhammad Qawi, and against the 6' 6" hard hitting Gerry Cooney.

History should show that he was never off his feet prior to Tyson and it took one of boxing’s hardest, fastest hitters ever to accomplish that knockdown and stoppage. However Tyson was his last fight because Spinks knees were shot, you can see a knee brace being worn for the Cooney fight.

In the last 16 fights of his career were all title fights in which he went 15-1, 11-0 at light heavyweight and 4-1 at heavyweight.

 

Modern training and conditioning!!!!!

 

And fighting once-twice a year !!!

 

Does Benavidez fight that often?

 

Yeah seems like every other year he’s been fighting once or twice
