Phiips vs. Spinks is not bad!!!!

And for the record, i thought Spinks won the fight. He won more rounds. So in that sense, you can say robbery. But i can also see judges liking the guy who lands the harder and cleaner shots throughout.

 

Definitely what I was thinking. Spinks, great boxer but can't attract flies.

Boxing is corrupt.

 

Which is probably what Don King had in mind... He just played it safe...

 

Spinks is done for then ... he lost his trainer as well

he's being black balled?

 

DOn King? That rascal set everyone up AGAIN!!! Well at least this time? He used LUBRICATION!! He didnt make anyone pay 49.96 to witness this robbery.

Thanks DK :nut :nut :nut

 

he might have us pay for the rematch?

 

Lord knows i'd watch a rematch

 

i didnt see this fight but the controversy alone makes a second go interesting

 

I want this wrong to be righted!

Of course I've said that over every recent robbery and not one has resulted in a rematch..


Except Toney-Peter II, but Toney just took a big fat dump in that one.

 

Damn ... thats a shame ... you might get an immediate unification bout between phillips and forrest ... I won't be watching that garbage and I doubt any tv networks pick that up.

 

Pay for a rematch? If you were dumb enough to shell it out? I'm sure Don it'd be happy to stick you up again:yep

Its a damn shame!! He ruins a good move with a free fight in a overly PPV world and rams it in HARD:-( :verysad

 

Who paid this boxrec writer?

In a mild upset, Verno Phillips took the IBF Junior Middleweight title at age 38 from champion Cory Spinks, who lost his second straight split decision. In a highly competitive fight for all twelve rounds with many good exchanges in center ring, the southpaw Spinks was clearly the busier of the two fighters, landing many crisp right jabs and occasional lefts. Phillips counterpunched well though, landing many power shots on the inside that kept this fight extremely close. Spinks was more aggressive over the first six rounds, with Phillips coming on after that. Phillips best moment came near the end of round seven, when he landed a left right right that backed up Spinks. There was also some furious in fighting in a corner and on the ropes in round 8. The fight appeared even, and the crowd booed in the later rounds when it became a tight defensive war. Both fighters appeared in excellent shape in a drawish fight which appeared to be able to go either way.

 

man Phillips was very tired and was on the verge of falling out of exaustion - his balance was terrible

 

He must hate Spinks, because there's no way Phillips did enough to WIN let alone 116-112:nono

 

I always knew Spinks could fight if he wanted or needed to.
