Boxing 7/5 - 7/8

Spinks wins.

Spinks wins.

Well nice call on the Spinks 12rd decision. I'm sure you would of been happier with a draw, but those are rare. Karmazin just couldn't handle Spink's handspeed and leg movement especially in the first half of the fight. Looks like King's future in promoting fights in STL just got brighter.

I watch the UFC lines and will bet something if I like it (Lidell-COuture III) or if it is an obvious scalp (Cummo-Goulet I got Cummo at +315). Overall though I don't know a ton about the UFC. I do know that Frank Mir looked like absolute dogshit at the weigh in today though. I think Christianson,Stevenson and Sylvia are all live. Back when Stevenson was above +200 if you bet all 3 you would have only needed 1 to win for a some kind of profit and I think at least 1 of them will win.

2 out of 3 of them won and Christison had a shot to but he sucked just a little worse than Mir.

i don`t know where mir got that second wind in the 3rd..he looked dead in the water in the 2nd....

arlovski/sylvia was a huge disappointment....i didn`t care who won...but i was disappointed at arlovski`s limited game plan.....he abandoned the leg kicks that were effective early....and never even attemted a takedown...he actually looked gun shy after the 1st....

throwing combos....but not committing...most of his punches fell short...

sylvia did little...had some effective counter punches....

a weak heavyweight championship fight...

no more sylvia/arlovski...please...

and why would there be another ortiz/shamrock mismatch?....

shamrock`s becoming a joke...at this level anyway..if you don`t want the fight stopped,put your arms up and stop the elbows....he was obviously on queer street...

stick ken in there with a machete and i still make tito the favorite...
