lmao what bullshit unless u had spinks winning 7-1 after 8 rounds like a retard theres no way roman lost, he clearly won the last 4 rounds and at LEAST 2 early ones bullshit
i honestly had spinks winning but that doesn't even matter i can't believe how people still bash on him after that performance yesterday coming back from the judah fight and being hated by almost all boxing fans the kid has heart he was really winded later on and im proud of him running and holding late than letting roman beat on him
Really! :eek: Boxing fans have changed....
From what i've read Spinks was running away avoiding a fight, yet many people here are apploading him, and im sure these are the same people who also called Delahoya Chicken after he Trinidad fight. From what everybody is saying I expect Michal Katz to once again call another figher a "Chicken" and this time it goes to Spinks, I won't expect anything less.
This was a joke, how did the ref let Corey do a ricky hatton. Corey ran and got beat up all the championship rounds and he takes the belts. So if your a front runner like Corey and win 5 outta 8 rounds all you have to do is run the rest of the fight to WIN THE BELTS FROM THE CHAMP? Unreal
yeah, i alot wish i could've given Karmazin an extra round at the end just for those last two..
btw, for those wondering how to overall fight went, IMO it was Karmazin who lost his title himself by not being active enough in those early-mid rounds, he really let Spinks win in those rounds where he'd hardly throw, and like a wrote somewhere else, i don't see Spinks (if he fought like he did saturday) coming anywhere close to competing with the top guys at 154 (i.e. De La Hoya, Mosley, etc.).. he's got some work to do if he wants to remain champ
Grrrr! Not to sound like a stuck record, but can people stop referring to who is the champ as if this should matter. Boxing matches are scored by rounds on the 10 point must system right? You don't have to "take" the fight from the champ, you have to win more rounds (KD/8 point rounds excepted).
I haven't watched the fight yet but if Spinks won the first 7 rounds Karmazin needed to knock him down to have a chance.
You sound very bitter... why can't you just say the better fighter won?
spinks won more of the battles
but he didnt win the war
karmazin is a true fighter, spinks is a slick boxer and nothing more.
i just finished the fight, and it was pretty close, th e12th round coul dhave been 10/10. cory ran and held most of the round but when he put out his jab he was landing, whereas roman who was throwin gmore punches and chasing cory, wasn't landing. so it was a close good fight. you can't really argue with the judges 114/114 115/113 115/113. i would have been ok with a draw, but there was no way tha cory lost this fight.
no way spinks won the 12th
i had it 114-114, spinks dominated the early rounds, karmazin dominated the late rounds, so i think it was a clear draw in my view.
karmazin should have retained his title.
i knew it would go to spinks in a close fight
I had it 6-2 after giving Roman the 6th, which was arguably Spinks' round
i agree, only i gave the round to Spinks. Roman did better that rounds, you could see that he knew he was getting to far behind, but he just wasn't able take the round
im guessing u had spinks ahead 7-1 after 8 rounds right?
i just watched the 1st 8 round sagain, and yes i did have it 7-1 after eight. the 1,3,4,5,7,8 i thought Spinks won clearly. The 6 Roman started doing better but still lost that round. in the 2nd round roman hurt cory early, but then Cory had a nice combo towards the ends of the rounds. the 2nd was close but i gave it to Roman, which was the only round i couls give him throughout the 1st 8. i'm about to watch the last 4 rounds now.
does it matter that the german judge gave cory spinks round 12, and that is what ultimately gave spinks the belt?? if you consider that i would say roman was robbed. i dont see how anyone could give spinks the 12th round as he seriously did the most running in that round. i scored it 115-114 roman with an even round but i could easily see it a draw. i dont see it a clear cut victory for spinks and definitely not a victory that should be winning a championship belt. i would have been way happier with a draw. but thats boxing :rolleyes:

i honestly, didn't score this fight, i was watching the UFC, and recorded it. So i watched the fight pretty late night, actually it was around 0100 this morning. I'm about to watch it again in about 15 mins. But from what i saw i didn't think it was a bad decision. You even said yourself that you only gave Roman 6 rounds. that would mean you thought it was a draw right?
once you go down 7 rounds, it's too late, and there is no way Roman won 7 rounds in that fight
im guessing u had spinks ahead 7-1 after 8 rounds right?
had it had been a 15 or 13 round fight Cory would have still won. Fighters train and fight for 12, if they had to go mor ethen they would pace better. I thought it was a good fight and a fair decision. Roman fought pretty good, but you can't give away that many early rounds and expect to win.
cant the same be said for giving around late rounds?
if not 15 AT LEAST 13 rounds, it would make boxers improve there stam as well cause thats a whole 3 more minutes and it could decide a fight

I had it 115-113 for Spinks as the absolute worst it could be for Spinks. Could've easily seen 116-112. Karmazin didn't do enough to draw, let alone win.
Well, I guess Spinks answered my question about his desire to continue boxing. I picked Karmazin by decision and Spinks proved me wrong.
That being said, Karmazin was there and ready to press the action and turn the tide in the last half of the fight. He never let up on Spinks, like a machine he just kept on coming. It was just too little too late. I didn't think very much of either fighter coming into the fight. They both proved to be good fighters. And both of their stocks will rise with this fight.
Where does Spinks go from here? Perhaps Ouma, perhaps Winky Wright. We'll wait and see.
I scored it 115-113 for Cory as well...
