Leon Spinks vs Jimmy Young

atsch Based on his efforts against Norton and lyle i disagree. Young's defense would negate Leon's activity

 

Or maybe Leon's aggression would negate Young's low activity? Young should win it but not sure if he takes it only because of his negativity.

That being said I thought he beat Norton.

 

your liston hatred i could understand, but this :bart:bart:bart:bart not a fan of yours anymore :dead:dead:dead

 

Very hard to call. The styles favour the swarming Spinks over the skillfully boxing Young; in terms of the quality of the fighters, Young has a definite edge.

I expect a tough to score fight like Norton-Young, with a lot of wild missing by Spinks and a lot of woeful inaction by Young. However, the difference in class tells in a way that it didn't in Norton-Young, and Young wins a disputable decision.

 

The very aura of my post, based on what my opinion has been on Young makes outright reply unnecessary.

 

Based on styles,,,,,,,,,

Leon just could have, might possibly have,,,,,,sneaked out a win.

Remember Jody Ballard,,,,,,,,,,who got jobbed out of a decision win over Jimmy.

Leon's faster hands and work ethic over the first half of the fight, might just be
enough to hold off the counter-punching effectiveness of Jimmy in the second-half.

10-Rounds,,,,,,,I'll go with Leon.
12 or 15,,,,,,,,,,Jimmy

 

Goin by all the Young threads on this board id have to say Jimmy wins by KO R1



Goin by what ive seen of him, jimmy decisions leon quite easily IF he comes to win

 

Shavers beat Young twice . Shavers also destroyed Norton who "beat" Young .

 

YES!!!:happy The

has eluded the mongoose's trap!

 

Jimmy gives Leon a boxing lesson. Maybe 10 rounds to 5 on the cards. Young would also score plenty of 10 - 8 rounds.

 

:rofl:rofl:happy:happy

 

At their respective bests, Young, by a clear UD. History should view the peak Young as level(s) above Neon Leon, imo.

 

Leon would be too busy and agressive for Jimmy. Messy and fairly dull UD for Leon.
:yep:yep

 

I wouldn't be at all surprised.

 

Leon did better against Ali than Young did, imo.

But for some reason he doesn't get as much credit for it around here. I guess if the judges say you won, you didn't do well enough - there's more street cred in getting jobbed !
