    Holmes was unlucky not to win the rematch. The first was a clear Spinks win imo.

    Wonder what would have happened had Holmes won back his title. He probably would have retired anyway and then came back against Tyson.

    Spinks won the 1st.
    Holmes won the second.
    Terrible fights to watch though. Larry wasn't fighting up to his ability.

    Naa, Spinks beat Holmes imo easily in the first. Larry took him lightly, saw him as an easy win over a lightheavy. Second fight, a lot closer than the first but still had Spinks winning. Spinks style caused Holmes trouble, add to that that Larry was growing tired and Spinks nails it.
