    Will Taylor fade down the stretch??

    I think there's a good chance that he could. I mean if it goes the distance his stamina can become a problem. If Spinks is jabbing and moving well Taylor will fatigue. He was tired in his two with Hopkins and looked tired against Ouma as well.

    Spinks has the speed and movement of a welter and can frustate you with his style.

    I think Taylor needs to come out and finish this one early.

    If Taylor goes for the KO early like he did against Ouma he might tire out. Thats what happened against Ouma and that could explain his lackluster performance in the later rounds. If he does the same against Spinks I could see him wearing out, especially since Spinks is slick and can at times be hard to find. I think Taylor and Steward will have a good game plan and I see Taylor either winning by late KO or UD.

        Taylor better prepare to do some chasing,

        Cory spinks must be the biggest runner in boxing history,

        Watch the Mayorga fight at 147 when Mayorga was in his prime and undisputed champ.

        I still dont know how spinks survived 12 rounds.

          Yeah that would be cool. At least one boxer in the upcoming fights should have something that pays homage to Chico.

            Its a concern but i dont think it will happen. I will bet points for taylor to win if anyone wants to bet.

              I think Taylor needs to move anyway. But any news on Spinks and how his training camp is going? I really wanted to see his last fight but it wasn't televised.

                Im willing to bet that spinks is training harder than he ever has in his life.

                  If Spinks figures out how to run Taylor out of gas, without getting hit that is, he has a good chance of winning. Taylor just doesn't seem to be living up to his promise, and he is vulnerable to a clever opponent. Spinks has a much greater chance than many people believe.

                    Taylor is going to knock Spinks out in devastating fashion by the 7th round.
