VERNO PHILLIPS TO CHALLENGE CORY SPINKS

Negotiations are ongoing for Verno Phillips to challenge IBF jr. middleweight world champion Cory Spinks in Spinks’s next fight.

The IBF said in a letter that Spinks’ next mandatory title defense is due by November 3, and No. 3 ranked Phillips is the leading available contender. The date and site of the fight is still to be determined.

If this aint PPV worthy i'm not sure what is. I predict the record Oscar and Floyd set gets obliterated.

 

man I would love to see Phillips KO his ass:: Sucks it won't happen though. WAR PHILLIPS!!!!

 

can stinks even make 154? he had hard time making 160 when he fought taylor.

 

I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I wouldn't mind seeing this fight. Though it could be a hit or miss affair - in fact, it could either an unexpected treat like Ouma-Phillips I or Spinks-Zab I, or a complete dud like Ouma-Phillips II.

 

spinks wins this easily.

 

This does nothing for boxing other than contribute to its demise. :nono:




























:: :tease: ::

 

Apparently Jake got some last night. ::

 

I would watch it, wouldn't buy it on PPV but I'd watch it on Showtime or BAD, mainly to hope for Spinks to get KTFO.

 

yeah, i wasn't expecting it to headline a PPV or anything. i think it's a decent showtime fight, though, certainly no worse than what they've been showing lately (or even have scheduled for the rest of the year)

 

well it turns out tarver is fighting green, not that bum named blades.

 

is green definite? I kept hearing "most likely" all weekend, though definite that Blades is out. Apparently Showtime doesn't appreciate being too often reffered to as Shawtime ::

 

You know if they put Tarver/Green and Spinks/Phillips on the same card it would be decent, but isn't that Tarver Green going to be in Austrailia?

 

no, tarver-green will part of a double header with forrest-piccirillo.

i think it's going to be held at foxwoods or one of them connecticut casinos.

 

Verno Phillips has always been pretty cool. I hope he wins. :bears:

 

Tripleheader with Donaire/Maldonado.

Another card with washed-up account managers. Tarver should have taken his beating from Dawson, because he´ll probably catch one here for less money. Sh*t he couldn´t KO Muriqi.

I´d like to see Forrest against the two best jr. middleweights, Santos and Dzinziruk. :crafty:

 

I will root for anybody over Stinks.
