First and foremost, I will say that i'm a Cory Spinks hater. I hate the way he fights, I absolutely loathe his entrances and I cringe whenever hear he or is coach talk about how great he is. But my man is getting the Richard Roundtree "Shaft" by having his fight on an untelevised card. He is the man at Junior Middle and deserves the respect of being the champ. You have a really green Chad Dawson against Adamsk and Julio Diaz against Jesus Chavez. Don King could have booked this match on a different night. Just my thoughts.
IBF junior middleweight champion Cory "Next Generation" Spinks (36-3, 11 KOs)outboxed "Smooth" Rodney Jones (37-4-1, 23 KOs) over twelve uneventful rounds to retain his title by unanimous decision. Scores were 120-108, 120-108, 118-109.
Thats why...
The other two matches were letdowns anyway. I would have liked to see the match.
It is pretty sad that an IBF Jr. Middleweight World Champion fights number 3 from the top on a veryyy average card.
Im not a fan of Spinks at allll, but if the man can win himself a World Title belt like the IBF in one of the hottest weight classes today, then by all means he deserves to defend it on TV.
I thought Dong King was takin care of Spinks by robbing Karmazin and passing the belt to his St. Louis best-seller, looks like i was wrong, DK is screwin Spinks pretty BADDDDDDD.
Spinks is a midget Chris Byrd. Just brutal to watch. I don't think he can get a big fight because would you plunk down $50 hoping he doesn't bring his track shoes that night?
omg...what a boring fight xD....cory spinks sucks xD
it was very sad that chavez fight ended like that, im sure it was gonna be getting very interesting
but adamek and dawson fight was great =D....that saved the night ^^

johnny ruiz was a "champion" too
spinks is better than ruiz, but not exciting for the casual fans who like to one looping punch knockouts
Ruiz was a legit champ though, at least he performed like a top 5 heavyweight for a good long while in a pretty mediocre division. Spinks deserves to be televised, for sure. Fuck the casual fans.
His belt is actually the legit one, and yes he did win the fight. Quit making excuses and hating on him for no reason.
Either way, his uncle is like the best light heavyweight ever.

Because Spiinks is BOOOOOOORRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIING. He stinks it up just about as much as Winky does.
winky is way more fan friendly than stinks. winky stands at range and throws a lot of punches.
Stinks slaps and runs like that kid in "the wood" with that girl in the school yard.
