Bundrage Sets Focus on Canelo After Blasting Spinks
by Cliff Rold - It took two rounds longer, but 39-year old IBF Jr. Middleweight titlist Cornelius Bundrage (32-4, 19 KO) repeated the result of their first encounter, stopping 34-year old Cory Spinks (39-6, 11 KO) of St. Louis, Missouri, with three knockdowns in the seventh round on Saturday night at the Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, California. Bundrage also scored a knockdown in the first. Bundrage came in at 153 ½, Spinks at 153 ¾, both just a hair below the division limit of 154 lbs. The referee was Ray Corona. Spinks was pacing back and forth while Bundrage bounced in the corner as they awaited the opening bell. When the “clang” sounded, it was Spinks sticking the southpaw right jab to try and establish a rhythm, Bundrage waiting for spots to rush. He found his first and landed a hard right. At the halfway mark, Bundrage again found flesh with a hard shot to the belly that ended with him draped over the back of Spinks. Spinks stood up and held Bundrage aloft for a moment, resisting the urge to slam his man down. He might have been better off doing so. Inside the final minute, Bundrage landed a crushing right to send Spinks to the floor near a corner. Clearly hurt, Spinks rose and survived the round, absorbing another right Bundrage landed from around his back when the two were tangled near the ropes.

Bundrage Jinxes Spinks Again; Russell, Lara Win
By Jake Donovan - Cornelius Bundrage defends his alphabet 154 lb. title against Cory Spinks in the Showtime-televised main event Saturday night at Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, California.

Scores were 95-94, 98-91 and 99-90 in favor of Lara (17-1-1, 11KO), who busted up Hernandez’ face with sharp punching throughout. Lara was docked a point in round eight for a cut-inducing headbutt.

Bundrage Still Believes He Can Land Canelo Title Shot
There are indications Cornelius Bundrage won’t face Saul “Canelo” Alvarez on Sept. 15, but Bundrage believes their junior middleweight unification fight will happen. “I believe that I’m going to get the fight with Canelo,” Bundrage said before Friday’s weigh-in for his IBF 154-pound title defense against Cory Spinks on Saturday night in Indio, Calif. (9 p.m. EDT/PDT; Showtime). “Even though he was going to fight this guy and that guy, you see nothing’s gone through. I think God has said that me and Canelo are going to fight. There’s nothing anyone can do to stop that, if that’s what God said.”

Cornelius Bundrage-Cory Spinks II: Pre-Fight Report Card
by Cliff Rold - Cory Spinks, the son of former Heavyweight Champions Leon and nephew of Hall of Fame Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight king Michael, has had his share of shining moments as part of the clan. August 7, 2010, was not one of them. Spinks had lost before; he’d been stopped before. He’d never been so utterly walked through. Corelius Bundrage, in front of a partisan Spinks crowd in St. Louis, did just that. Bundrage figured out early Spinks didn’t have the strength to keep him off and proceeded to lay a hurtful beating down. Spinks was stopped in five and now attempts, perhaps for the last time, to add a piece to his trophy set. Once the undisputed Welterweight king, Spinks has won titles at 154 lbs. twice. Will he find a charming third reign? Let’s go to the report cards.

Bundrage Says He is Tired of Excuses From Spinks
Cornelius Bundrage ridiculed Cory Spinks’ excuse for Spinks’ poor performance in their IBF junior middleweight title fight nearly two years ago. Spinks said this week that he was sick during training camp prior to their August 2010 fight in St. Louis, a bout Bundrage dominated before stopping Spinks in the fifth round to take Spinks’ IBF 154-pound championship. Bundrage considers Spinks’ justification for that lopsided loss as a convenient way of convincing himself that Spinks simply didn’t lose to a better fighter as they prepare to go at it again Saturday night in Indio, Calif. (9 p.m. EDT/PDT; Showtime).
