Haha, ok then.

Well i've been a watching a bit of both recently. Both like to box in centre ring, employ some movement but not excessively in a lateral motion at all. Charles is the more fortchcoming and active boxer throughout imo, whereas Spinks' boxing style is a of a more imposing fashion. He likes to jab and step forward slightly, using some physical strength which can drain his mans energy as the bout progresses. Charles i think can score with his jabbing and circling which is always in the interest of setting up heavy bomb blasts. When Spinks advances or even jabs, he can be hit with combos, simply because that;s what Charles does to you. It;s hard to outbox him. What i do believe in though is that Charles can be hurt, and Spinks carries devastating power in his right hand. I reckon Spinks is one 175 man who has a real chance of stopping Charles, because of Spinks' unorthodox approach. Charles' circling to the left must also be noted, surely Spinks must be looking for the right bomb with that going on.

I reckon this bout heats up. I'm edging towards Charles if that happens, regardless of the power of Spinks, because Charles was tough and always sprung shots that would do the scoring, always.

I'm not going with that yet though.

 

Sorry, i just saw this.

Natural advantages- there's not much in it. Both can punch, Charles more due to sharp hooking, Spinks more due to having a right bomb that just sends you into oblivion before you see it. Both have decent speed. Charles is not quite a cobra though.

Technically- Spinks has a good jab and subtle shifts of the shoulder which are good tools in getting the leverage mid-ring, Charles could outfight men inside and could set up offense with his jab and lunges.

I'll wait for you now Sean

 

I see a lot of that too. But these two don't like to 'dance' as they say and exchanges would occur because of that, they'd be in range. Spinks is deceptive, he stands like a tall boxer type, but he's always looking to measure you i reckon.

Do you reckon its going the distance?

 

I'm taking Charles to make the fight epic and get wild throwing to the body and head. On points though, Charles is constantly in danger of being hurt which could cause Spinks to attempt a finish, which he was so good at. Charles for me. Call me crazy.

 

Well that's a good point, very actually. Charles wants you outside, where he tees off. But Spinks can time you so well out there.

I already made my peace with picking Charles though!!!

 

If Charles wins it has to go the distance imo. Even with the Tyson stoppage standing, he can handle a battle.

I'm not sure which light-heavies you're familiar with so i'll let you pick the next one Sugarman.

 

In fact it's late. Why don;t you pick the next bout. We'll let the rest of the forum speak on it over night and me and you can chip in tomorrow before making a choice and moving on. Deal?
