    Yes, sadly this is very close to being a done deal for May 19 on HBO WBC from Memphis, TN.

    Yikes.

      It has to be said for all the kudos Taylor built up for the Hopkins back to back and then Wright fights, Spinks to follow Ouma is a bit of a soft run.

      Both are tiny in comparison to Taylor.

        I rather have Taylor fighting some top smaller guys then fight some bum middleweights.

          You are kidding? I thought you meant Michael, old as he is. Cory ain't fit to tie Taylor's gloves. What a mismatch.....

            Still it's better then fighting some bums like the way Roid and Bitchkins did!

              Spinks is a very slick boxer, but how can you win a fight if your opponent can walk right through your punches without any fear of being hurt? Taylor is going to walk right through spinks and nail him with some big shots. I predict a Ko or a Tko for Taylor in the middle rounds ( 4-6)

                This is a big oppurtunity for Spinks.If he can pull the upset he may become a Top 10 P4P fighter.Taylor should win this fight easily though.If Taylor can't knock out Spinks it will reflect very badly on Taylor.If a former jr. welterweight can knock out Spinks and Taylor can't it's going to be a big negative.

                  I'm not very excited for this fight, but I'm wondering how Spinks can move at 160. If he can't get out of the way or box and move he will get nailed. Knowing he is the bigger guy just like with Ouma I wouldn't be suprised if Jermain will try to assasinate Spinks. He landed big shots on Ouma, which could put Spinks down. Jermain would be impressive if he outboxed Spinks for 12 rounds. If Spinks can take Jermain's punches I think it will be a UD for Taylor. If not, Spinks may get KTFO.

                    Dibella is treating Taylor like a baby.
