    The to old verns..how would this go?

    I reckon Forrest would really have to drop the ball on this one to lose, he wouldnt let Verno into the fight as much as Spinks did.

    Spinks beat Verno. :(

    And Vernon, even now, would TKO him (corner stoppage).

    I think I agree...I didnt bother scoring it but Im pretty sure I felt Spinks won it.

    But he faded late and ran to much, letting rounds get close.

    I think Vernon wouldnt allow this...He didnt allow Mora the second time around and got a wide decision.

    Stoppage ya reckon...maybe...but Verno is a tough and a wiley old bloke, I think he lasts.
