He needs to find another profession to bore. I can't STAND this "fighter". I will admit....the man has skills. But..overall...boxing will be better served without his annoying, boring, featherfisted (11 KOs in 35 fights!!!!), awkward ass. He's just a southpaw spoiler MF!! :flip:
I could understand this post after Judah II, but Spinks didn't ran tonight, he boxed from the outside, as usual, it's just that Taylor didn't press the action so it was a stinker.
:bears: You've had a good gallop of posts lately Sly, agreed on virtually all accounts in every thread today,...except I must ask,...if you don't appreciate soft strikes,...:nono: why are you a fan of Fraud or his style for that matter?..uh uh uh UH..:nono:
agREED.... "Somehow",Zab Judah Managed to BEAT the "Stink" Out of Cory N Spinks' HOMETOWN.... Yet the MUCH LARGER Jermain Taylor COULDN'T???:dunno: ...Taylor AND DiBella Should B ASHAMED... REED
Why should he be ashamed? Zab Judah is a southpaw and styles make fights, Spinks makes all the right handed fighters look like :shit:
Plus Judah's much faster than Taylor. Part of Taylor's probem is that he is so stiff and rigid in the ring...he was bound to have a hard time against a smaller, quicker, more elusive fighter like Spinks.
For sure, Taylor certainly didn't get a rhythm going at all, I'm hoping from here on out he fights Middleweights. 117-111 Spinks is :notallthere:
Taylor should be ashamed, yes, but don't forget that Zab is a southpaw and Spinks is used to fighting "righties" and avoiding shots from that stance. It could be that the southpaw style is his achilles heel....
Taylor deserves more of the blame than Spinks does. Cory wasnt given a chance in hell, yet he gave Taylor hell. I had it a draw, but i could see 7-5 for Taylor. But the bottom line was Cory's "stinking" was a big problem for Taylor, and proved that Jermain is ass!
Right, boxing is instead better off with a middleweight champion who hasn't scored a knockdown in his past 60 rounds against junior middleweights and 40-year olds, and arguably 1-4 in that stretch.
Yes, it is. I understand the disdain for JT as far s his fighting ability goes, but Stinks is the lowliest, the stinkiest, the bottom of the barrel. I would root for a Pol Pot over Stinks. LOL, Cory didn't run. It takes all I have not to go on a smacktalking rampage because I take my retirement seriously. He made sure that he always stayed outside of striking distance for 50 seconds at a time he'd run in, slap, land a left to arms of JT and run again.
Taylor's chin must be that bad. They'd rather fight a fast and quick stinker like Spinks than have to face anyone who can actually punch. Feel sort of bad for Taylor. His mgmt is so protective of him, and gives him such hand-picked opposition, that it's almost impossible to root for him, even though he's very likable.
fuck larry merchant. i would love to see cory spinks vs. larry merchant, im sure spinks would look like thomas hearns against his ignorant ass. and sly, he's knocked out 11 more pro fighters than you have. for someone who is always talking about speed and slick fighters im surprised you aren't impressed at how he neutralized a much bigger man.
:eeeek: Thank God you're not a judge! WORSE.SCORECARD.IN.THE.HISTORY.OF.FIGHTBEAT After the 2nd round, Spinks was only jabbing at Taylor's gloves and trying to survive. I couldn't give him 4 rounds let alone 6!
And what the hell was Taylor doing? He wasnt even trying to force a fight like DLH did vs Floyd, for the most part his dumbass was staying outside and boxing with Cory. I'll re-score the fight again, but I repeat, i had it a draw.
I agree that Taylor was fighting a DUMB DUMB DUMB fight. Manny steward was doing a terrible job in the corner also. I'm no hall of fame trainer...but even I knew that Taylor needed to concentrate on Spinks' midsection and leave the head hunting for later. However, Taylor was the only one landing anything significant from the 3rd round on. Spinks was basically just hitting Taylor's gloves with weak punches and then moving. He wasn't trying to win. However the dumbest thing of all, was making that fight in the first place. Anyone, with an IOTA of boxing sense, should know that you don't put your fighter anywhere near a Cory Spinks...as it's a no win situation and the chances are that he'll make you look bad. How come Taylor's management didn't know this?
That's why Taylor retains his reputation as a man with holy guargantuan bells, who the fuck DARES to fight an explosive briar-patch burrowing bitch like Corey Spinks if your a top middleweight?...it was a selfless decision from the get go, the man deserves a medallion for pulling this off under a hurricane of bad press and boards set alight in riots.
