Question:

If Judah had landed this shot earlier in the round:

does he stop Spinks?

(Note: Shot landed with about 30 seconds left, and there was about 14 seconds left when Judah was allowed back after him and Spinks held on).

Yes...Spinks was reeling went he got up...he held on to Judah until the bell.

No Spinks was to quick that night.

No Spinks was to quick that night.

Yeah, Spinks was decent that night-- but he was not so quick after he got hit with that shot, and the question was if that shot comes earlier does Judah win. And I think we have to answer that question as a yes-- Spinks really was rocked by that punch and was in serious trouble. He was very fortunate that there was so little time left in the fight when it landed. Besides, I actually had the fight scored a draw after that knockdown in the last round. So it was very close.

Spinks to Quick that night ? In my opinion and everyone in the house at the time we all believed Zab won that fight.

The only thing he made the mistake of doing was being as cautious as he was in the very 1st 4 rounds of the fight .

From the fifth round on , he was on Spinks a** .

it was a very close fight and i dont think spinks would have made it if the round was longer..damn judah used to be alot smaller I just remembered

No Spinks was to quick that night.

He was quick that night......but the question is if Judah landed that big punch earlier in th 12th could he have stopped Spinks? The answer is yes because Spinks can't take Judah's shots for a long period of time...if the 12th round was 4 minutes Spinks was finished.

No it would have lasted because Spinks was knocked down and he would have taken a knee and got up at 8 and ran and ran and ran to clear his head. Zab beat Spinks last time because he had him out on his feet. If you give Cory time he will recover and will avoid you easily. Spinks isnt slow

i dont think they are saying if hes slow or not they are saying if the round was about 30 seconds longer would spinks have survived? if he could grab and hug judah he could if he doesnt than he wouldnt

Spinks is slow in comparison to Zab .
I dont think he could have made it .

Like Zab Said there second fight was a continuation of the first .

i dont think they are saying if hes slow or not they are saying if the round was about 30 seconds longer would spinks have survived? if he could grab and hug judah he could if he doesnt than he wouldnt


Yes I do believe so because he was down and not out on his feet like last time. Zab would have came in and Cory would hold or keep a distance.

Zab isn't slow either, not trying to be an ass but the whole summary of this trilogy is basically Spinks boxes good but can't deal with the power and speed of Judah. Spinks showed in both fights his chin couldn't take Zab's punchs.

Which shot do you think was harder?

I think the second won is better because he won :) , but I think the first is a better shot.

The Power Of Judah Was The Difference:

Ohh by all means I dont think Zab is slow at all. Slow starter? Absolutely and that played to Spinks advantage. I accept and agree with your points they are valid. I dont think a trilogy is needed.
