blind judges

[fletcher]

I doing good last fight will make very good or bad lot on it but i had myorga to win gy ko tko or dq was the only way i thought he would win, but the 2 judges who scored the fight 114-114 and 114-116 need to be done, the 117-110 was the right score spinks made him look like a joke he is ko or nothing and tonight he was nothing soinks made him look as bad as i said he was in the 2nd forrest fight he has no skills but can hit like a ton of bricks so i took the small number and took a chance but it was not evn close, take tje 2 points that were taking away and give them back and you tell me this was scored 116-114 myorga 114-11-4 and 115-112 spinks no way spinks showed what i said he can only ko people and he can do that but that is it.

give spinks his due those judges were not watching the fight i was, I did not like the ref not ever let them punch out when they were tied up not once , as soon as the tied up he steped in and that is a poor ref but spinks won and won big, bad judging except the 1 and i lost the fight and am saying this. The ref was to pitty patty though it is a fight let them fight spinks would of still held his own I think but he won and won big i thought ,but the judging by 2 judges and the ref were very poor you let guys fight it out of a clutch if they want to try you at least let them try unlike ruiz where then you break it up because you know it will not get punched out of,. need hopkins.

Just for the record Mayorga won a decision over Forrest,
something no other pro has accomplished, Mosley tried
twice and didn't come close. But Mayorga was definitly
exposed as fighter lacking great skill and natural talent.
But I love his style, he makes very exciting fights except
when his opponent runs for 12 rounds. I have no desire
to watch a fighter like Spinks. I was very much looking
forward to Mayorga-Mosely, but I probably won't even
watch Mosely-Spinks, I'd rather paint something and
watch it dry.

Thats what happens when you have fighters under the Don King Banner. Before the fight starts they are ahead on points. I thoght Spinks won by 4 rounds and then taking off further two points gave Spinks a 6 round win.

As for saying "except when his opponent runs for 12 rounds. I have no desire".

Why wouldn't you say Spinks showed his class. He can't mix with the power of Mayorga so one goes to a technique (plan) that offers you the best chance of victory which is what Spinks did. Plus with a four inch reach advantage then by keeping your opponent at ams length how can one be hit. If Maorga had to come inside then he was likely to be picked off with a few combinations more times than not.

Mayorga was shown to be what he is, a hyped up one dimensional fighter.

Like I said Mayorga was exposed as a fighter lacking
great skill and natural talent. And as for "why didn't
you say Spinks showed his class", because I wasn't
talking about Spinks. I was pointing out the fact that
Mayorga is usually an exciting fighter but when you
put him in the ring with a fighter who is not willing
to take a punch (or throw one) it makes for a very
boring fight.

You took my point the wrong way, Spinks won the
fight easily and would win it again if he had to. All I
was saying is that Mayorga was bringing some much
needed attention to the sport and that is now over.

You said that Spinks can't mix with the power of
Mayorga so he goes for the plan that gives him the
best chance to win, which is a pretty obvious take.
The fact is Spinks can't mix with anyone's power so
he has the exact same gameplan for every single fight.

My point is that while Spinks obviously won the fight,
he'll never be as big of a draw as Mayorga because of
his style and lack of power. Sure he could beat alot of
fighters with that style, but I won't be watching.

I would have payed $50 to watch Mayorga-Mosely. You
would have to pay me $50 to watch Mosely-Spinks and
that is my only point.

I already have next years best bet figured out...

Spinks vs. ????? OVER

Sorry BOXLOCKS, I mis-interputed what you were saying.

Perhaps we are different in what we like. Although I love a fight that has two boxers slugging it out toe to toe, I enjoy just as much a stylish boxer who is able to move around the ring and dominate the centre of the ring sing his speed and agility.

As for watching Spinks next fight, if I have time then maybe. depends on opponent.
