    Is this fight untelevised completely - or just in the US?

      well that *** don king killed michael's career, i guess he's targeting his nephew now. Michael spinks is still the greatest light heavyweight in the last 40 years.

          He was one of the guys that pressured him to fight tyson, spinks knew he couldnt beat him. Either way spinks in his prime was a much better fighter than roy, and i like roy jones jr.

            I've seen girl fights on YouTube more entertaining and Dangerous looking.

            When I want to see a guy run around and slap at his opponents I'll watch springer.
            I like to see how effective his "running and slapping" can be, just like i like to watch gatti although his lack of skills and speed is disheartening at times.

              explain how the hell spinks got his title shot in the first place??

              he was knocked out by zab judah in his last fight at 147, didnt fight for over a year, and then was magically ranked #15 and given a shot at the 154 title.

              furthermore he fought karmazin for karmazin's title in ....St. Lous, spinks hometown, so for those who thinkKing is ruinging his career in some way by not getting him on TV just look at the facts, king conned him into a championship

              hes not on TV cause he got his ass kicked down the stretch of his last fight, cried afterward and brings a trainer that drops more F-bombs than a seasons worth of sopranos

                I dont know what the hell you guys are talking about. Spinks is one of the most entertaining fighters out there. His entrances are fun, and his fights with Judah were great, I loved them. Anytime he fights I wanna see it.

                  yes worse has been televised
                  BUT NOT ON PURPOSE
                  this is why spinks is not televised
                  sorta a premptive strike
                  why televise somethin
                  that you know is goin to be boring
                  course some might slip up and end up showen some boring fights
                  but its hardly on purpose
                  its cuz they tricked the networks to get on TV
                  and spinks has tricked them more then enough times
                  and no ones fallin for it anymore

                      when you get the shot, you got it. the fight matters,

                      the belt is still reasonably legit, since karmazin beat ouma who was considere the best availalbe after winky left.

                      mind not the lineal belt, as no one beat winky, but his belt is not less legitimate than the one oscar and floyd are fighting for.

                      i dont love spinks, but i would still watch him fights.
