Later tonight in St. Louis, Missouri, IBF junior middleweight champion Roman "Made in Hell" Karmazin (34-1-1, 1 ND, 21 KOs) makes the first defense of his title against former undisputed welterweight champion Cory "The Next Generation" Spinks (34-3, 11 KOs).
Karmazin is regarded as the man at junior middleweight, a title given to him when Winky Wright moved up to middleweight, and when he snatched the crown from Kassim Ouma with little to no trouble on July 14, 2005.
Spinks is coming back for the first time since his 2005 knockout loss to Zab Judah, which also took place in Spinks' hometown of St. Louis. Some have questioned how Spinks is returning from a layoff that lasted over a year, and coming off a knockout - and jumps right back in the mix with a major title shot. Some call it politics and others call it the luck of the draw.
