Another masterpiece by Spinks

This welterweight has the skills of greats yet he never gets his proper respect. Why? Because he actually boxes and uses skills and doesn't brawl like a drunken sailor. He gave Taylor a lesson and Taylor himself is a fine boxer too. Both of these guys would clown Pavlik

 

Pavlik keeps his left very low at times and I can see Taylors right cross landing a heckuva lot if they fight

 

there's nothing good about the way Spinks fights, anyone can do it

i believe anyone in the world could be in Spink's position, they just choose not to out of pride and honour

:bears: :bears: He has no honor. Honestly, if they gave him the decision, I would have stopped watching boxing for quite some time.

 

Anyone can do it?

That's a ridicuous statement.

 

Any trained fitness person at 24 hour fitness could do what he does with minimum training. Larry Merchant reads this board. He basically hijacked my opinion and I am overjoyed. Boxing rules should expressly frown against this style. He just slaps a jab and Sprints. If someone gets close, he grabs. Any professional fighter could do what he does and every male cardio instructor.

 

Well, I certainly had a laugh when some people started comparing him to Pernell Whitaker following the Mayorga and Judah fights.

He's not close to the level of fighter Pea was, but he has skill that's a little harder to replicate than you're alleging.

 

Perhaps. However, it is allot easier to "fight" when you have no intention of fighting. He is just a survior. He knows how to stay up. I feel he puts in a bad faith effort. He makes fight fans and judges sleep and not care about what is going on. He is putrid.

 

People who have no clue about boxing (the acutal thing, not setting on your fat ass watching HBO) think very little of Corey's skills. The guy has mad skills and the reason Taylor couldn't do anything is because Corey never allowed him to.

What Spinks does is not easy I just laugh at people who put down Corey's skills.

 

He has fast hands and fast feet. It is very hard to fight a guy who refuses to fight. It isn't like he is outscoring opponents. He runs and limits the action so in that sense he didn't allow Taylor to do anything. He gets hit allot actually. Taylor landed almost at a 50% clip. He just didn't throw because Stinks is in full flight. He has skills, but not a skill set that is good for boxing. He should be banned.

 

steve_dave would re-route his anus.

 

Why even bring this up? Make a post about someone who could take Steve-Dave out and you have a story.

 

Corey frustrated Taylor all night with angles and feints - he even had Taylor moving back when he put combos together and like one poster said if it was Floyd it would have been called a masterpiece

 

I'd call it Stink. Taylor looked stupid in there though.

 

He did look stupid. Watch the end of the 11th round when Corey acts like he was going to spin off the ropes to his left (Taylor's right ) and then Corey spins/pivots in the opposite direction. Taylor was still looking for Corey - he didn't even know which direction he went. I still can't believe like many other how a limited fighter like Taylor has been able to get this far.

 

taylor doesnt fight well at close range anyway, if spinks would have got in there a couple times a round and landed a good shot, versus just the jab he would have won an unanimous decision, its not like taylor landed anything that fight

 

Masterpiece? Is that what you call it when a guy barely lands any clean punches and runs around the ring? Round 12 was a fucking disgrace.

 

spinks took more punishment against karmazin

 

True...

So did Ouma,Compared to what he Took from Jermain....

REED TRIED to Like Jermain Taylor,but he's Giving REED LITTLE Reason to...He'd B a Nice Dude to Hang Out w/but as a Fighter,there's just NATHAN There...

I had Spinks winning this fight

 

So did the correspondent at Maxboxing.
I am going to have to formally score it to be sure, but it was such a dreadful fight, I don't want to waste my time.

 

7-5 SPINKS.....but i was glad he didn't get the decision.../

 

I had it a draw.

 

Good point that didn't come to mind. As for Corey he gets tons of criticism but I personally enjoy watching him. If he only had some pop ....

 

Johnny Tapia didn't have much of a pop. He was pretty defensive. If he'd been black, everyone would've been on his ass for being boring.

 

well, i cant speak for you obviously....but if i wanted to i could fight like spinks and have the exact career that Spinks has had...but why would i want to lose my dignity and self respect like that :dunno:
