Was talking to K9 and decided I'd give his YouTube channel a share here

    This is his pièce de resistance, loved him since the Contender but this put him in the history books. Was a great fight too, he really had that Kronk right punishing Spinks. You think either of these guys would have given Mayweather trouble? I feel like K9 was able to fight dirty, outmuscle and outhustle you but he also had the reach to engage in a neat outside game if he wanted. Dude was tough as hell too. Leave him a comment on YouTube and he'll likely respond and have a conversation with you. He's a really cool guy.

    That was a good win for him, but for me his win over Kassim Ouma is my fondest memory of K-9. For a long time Bundrage had a stink around him because people thought he was a choker who lost in his biggest fights. He lost to Joel Julio, Steve Forbes on the Contender, and of course there was that embarrassing 14 second chicken dance loss to Sechew Powell that it seemed he would never live down.

    But he beat Ouma who was still very highly regarded and he had to fight through some really tough patches to do it. It was cool seeing a guy shed the 'gate-keeper' label that it seemed like he'd be stuck with forever.

    Beating Carlos Molina was another good achievement too. I definitely didn't think K-9 still had it in him to do it at that point.

    As for either Spinks or K-9 beating Mayweather at that point? Lol, no way. At his peak Spinks was really outstanding and his defense was probably second best in the game behind Floyd's, and even then it wasn't far behind. Unfortunately the guy was notorious for his sweet-tooth/junk food addition and ballooning up in weight and then boiling back down to 147 and 154 cost him dearly.

    Bernard Hopkins always talks about guys who spend their training camp preparing to fight the scale rather than their opponent. That was Spinks, and it led to him losing to guys who were levels below him from a skills standpoint.
