    They are good people. When I was thinking of leaving, William and several others offered me support, I am very grateful.

    Spinks was a bit different from Bonavena. I could see why someone would use that fight to judge Folley's chances. Bonavena had a better chin and hit harder but could be even sloppier than Spinks. Spinks applied fairly consistent pressure while Bonavena often just swung and hoped for the best.

    This is a hard match to think about because they are similar in size but have completely different styles and attributes. On the one hand Folley is much more skilled and a great counter puncher but on the other hand he isn't very durable and often became way too inactive. Those are 2 very bad attributes against a relentless swarmer like Spinks.

    If it goes past 9 Is favor Folley.
