    Both were boring fights,and tough ones to call,really. Spinks shaded the first one,and I saw Larry doing just about enough to win the return. The judges,as we all know,saw it differently.

    This, but really Holmes was a horribly boring champ for the most part, that probably played into the whole scenario. It was time for a change. Thank God Tyson came along shortly after.

    I scored the first fight 8-7 Holmes. Could've gone eitherway.

    Second fight I scored it 9-6 Holmes. I thought that was a pretty clear Holmes win.

    I only saw the second one and thought Holmes had done enough.I had him at least 3 rounds up.
