I know this fight is old, but here is my scorecard:
Round 1: Mayorga 10-9
Round 2: Spinks 10-9
Round 3: Mayorga 10-9
Round 4: Spinks 10-9
Round 5: 9-9 Even (Mayorga had a point deducted but won the round)
Round 6: Spinks 10-9
Round 7: Mayorga 10-9
Round 8: Mayorga 10-9
Round 9: Spinks 10-9
Round 10: Mayorga 10-9
Round 11: 9-9 Even (Mayorga had a point deducted but won the round)
Round 12: Mayorga 10-9
= 114-112 in favor of Ricardo Mayorga.
Mayorga got two point deductions, but I felt he still won those rounds, especially the 5th round, that was all Mayorga.
Mayorga knocked Spinks down in the 12th, but the ref ruled it a slip. I thought it was a legit knockdown.
I'll let you be the judge:

Also, Spinks didn't do anything in the last 2 rounds, he was just falling on his ass on purpose everytime Mayorga put pressure on him.
Close fight, but Mayorga deserved the win IMO.
Seriously people? Mayorga is winning the poll? Spinks clearly won. Mayorga couldn't even find Spinks, got outboxed so bad that he resorted to standing in the middle of the ring; taunting Spinks.
Its called "boxing". Not "tag you're it".
Mayorga came to fight, while Spinks came to do everything in his power NOT to fight. Its was actually quite frustrating to watch. It was a typical Spinks. Run like a deer, flick jabs in the air, and hold when close. Only this time, he through himself on the ground a few times when he was in trouble of getting rocked. It also doesnt help that the ref that night sucked big time.
Why don't you watch the fight before you say Spinks won the fight. If you actually watched the fight, and then thought Spinks won - That is cool. But you haven't even watched the fight, and you're like "Spinks won!".
Idiot.
i tried to look for the fight mate but i couldnt find it......

I remember watching the fight and being thoroughly disapointed with the decision. It was a close fight, only because of the point deductions.
IIRC, the winner of this fight was for the Linear and Undisputed @ WW.
From theis fight the WW linear lineage goes: Mayorga to Spinks to Judah to Baldomir to Mayweather.

Idiot.
I saw it a very long time ago so i dont remember who i thought one. I do remember it was a very sloppy fight.

Don King screwed Mayorga that night.
I hold him responsible for Ricardo's decline.
:nonono:
I think Don King knew Mayorga would always sell. With or without the belts, Mayorga had the good.
Spinks on the other hand needed all the help he could get. The belts made Spinks.
But Don King wasnt done yet, a year later made him fight Trinidad at a weight he shouldnt have been at. After being in jail, with only a few weeks to train.:dead:
Its pretty convenient to "slip" 6 times when your getting choped with these constantly.

Yeah, He's a fan of his, but Kessler one of the most unbiased members I know, and since you said this without even seeing the fight, you're an idiot.
Thanks bro :boxing:.
I have never seen this fight. Is it any good? I may have to download it.
Mayorga is the aggressor, throwing wild haymakers, keeps coming forward. Spinks is using his jab a lot in this fight, trying to keep Mayorga at bay, but as soon as Mayorga puts pressure on him - He falls on his ass on purpose. He wanted none of Mayorga that night. I think he "slipped" 5-6 times in the fight.
youre a mayorga nuthugger mate... of course you had mayorga winning.... :rofl:.... i have never seen the fight but i will look for it in the trading thread and score it myself.....
There isn't a British fighter in this fight, so you might have a hard time trying to score it. Seeing how you are used to scoring everything in favor of the British fighter.

Scored:
for Mayorga rounds:1,5,8,11 and 12.
for Spinks:2,3,4,6,7,9,10
Total:115-111 for Spinks.
Overall I thought he did the better work of the 2,being more accurate and more effective.I thought he outboxed and frustrated Mayorga more often than not.Spinks's jab was the key of the fight.
I was rooting for Mayorga however and would say 1 of the point deductions was kinda easy and he scored a clear KD in the 12th.
