The verdict is in and former lightweight champ Paul Spadafora was sentenced to up to five years in state prison for shooting his fiancee 16 months ago, but he could get out in as little as six months if he completes a boot-camp program. The relatively lenient sentence could enable Spadafora to resume a still-promising career. Spadafora plead guilty in December of last year to aggravated assault and a weapons violation in the shooting of his son's mother Nadine Russo. The shooting stemmed from Russo ruining two tires on Spaddy's hummer and he shot her while being in a drunken rage. [details (http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=752)]

To be honest, I was disapointed on his last few fights. I have not missed him at all. To comit this kind of crime, I miss him even less. If he is lucky, he may end up fighting on ESPN.

he deserves to get more and i wouldnt care if i ever seen him fight again, i found him very boring

Spadafora is one lucky dude!Imagine shooting your girl in the gut because she flattened your car tires!Only in America !I hope they keep him in the slammer for the five years but I wouldnt be surprised to see him back at it and on the streets in 6 months,wreaking havoc on the poor city of pittsburgh
