Mike Spinks vs. David Tua

[Dog Jones]

It'll either be a Spinks decision or an early Tua KO me thinks, how do you guys see it?

[cdogg187]

I say Spinks decision

[Ramonza Soliloquies]

Both awful Heavies. I suppose either could do it, but I would favour Tua. Depressingly.

[Destruction and Mayhem]

Spinks could get the decision here. Tua's attack is not as relentless as Tyson's.

[Hut*Hut]

Spinks I think.

[cdogg187]

If Chris Byrd could completely outclass Tua, I have no reason to doubt that Spinks could

[Hut*Hut]

If you can punch and move against Tua, stay off the ropes and keep doing it for 12 rounds you win. End analysis.

Spinks 12-0.

[loadedgloves]

It would take seriously favorable odds for me to bet so much as a nickel on this fight.

Pretty easy betting fight. Spinks by decision straddled by Tua by KO. Only two ways it can conceivably go.

pretty much

Tua masterfully jabs and uses the most subtle lateral movement... Spinks, limited and frustrated has to resort to trying for a one-punch KO

It's the Locche/Fujii of the heavyweights with that brilliant ring general, David Tua, showcasing his unique Samoan untouchable-ness

[Ramonza Soliloquies]

I'm as big a critic of Tua as anyone, but Spinks was a total, utter fraud above LHW. It would be a dicey encounter.

Spinks would never have the courage to do enough in there to win a shut-out.

I dont think Tyson had cause for much relentlessness, did he? Spinks willingly laid down, its not as if that bout showed us you needed to be hard-and-fast with Spinks.

That result mustve embarrassed Holmes no end.

Disagree, completely

Spinks was not a great heavyweight by any stretch but to decision Larry Holmes even when he was starting to fade was still an accomplishment that 95% of the world's heavyweights would have failed to register

Joe Mesi is a total, utter fraud, not Mike Spinks

[broadwayjoe]

Spinks by a wide decision. Tua is not even a poor man's Tyson. Tua could hit and Spinks was vulnerable at heavy, but outside of the puncher's chance for Tua...it's all Spinks.
