This fight is dreadful - Taylor vs Spinks

[bishop2006]

callin miranda overrated? the dude came and went to war.....what did the middleweight champ do?....almost get a draw with cory spinks......fighter of the night def is kelly pavlik......man what a fight.....

Exacly,Pavlik has arrived to the middleweight division,and we do know he does indeed hit HARD,i thought Miranda would win by KO but i didnt rule out Pavlik

BTW,imo Miranda and Pavlik would have knocked Spinks out tonight

[THE REAL NINJA]

Taylor steers himself well clear of Pavlik with

'I'll fight whoever gets me the most money' qoute.

Merchant didn't look impressed.

That's why I like Taylor though
He tells you the truth + the fight that the fans want to see is also the one that brings the most money so I don't see anything wrong with it .

I could watch PBF fight so and so forever and those fighters may in fact be the best but I as a fan want to see him fight Zab,DLH and I hope Mosley ect .

yeah Miranda was totally overrated, at least Taylor has fought legit competition.

[Parody]

And hes running his mouth of to the cam,it makes me sick man,hes calling Miranda overated,what does that make him?

Miranda is overrated though which was proved tonight, but Taylor put on a **** performance and I'm not going to speak about him again until he puts on a performance.

IMO Pavlik is the real deal.

Not only do I have Pavlik kicking the **** out of taylor, I think Miranda could to. Taylor is the biggest fraud in this sport. He can go **** himself, he knows he can dodge Pavlik by saying he wants alot of money. This ***** called taylor doesn't deserve a penny.

I guess, but Taylor just seemed so negative dropping those lines. Thank the lords, Pavlik/Mirana was a great fight, or I'd be jumping off the roof.

Taylor is a bum, I dont get boxing at all anymore. Spinks threw 200+ more punches then Taylor and landed 15 less. Taylor would landed a solid shot every 2 rounds, yet he wins? & these HBO clowns are nutthugging Taylor only because he's on HBO. Emanuel Stewart even knew Taylor was losing that's why he was screaming at him the last half of the fight. Spinks did exactly what Mayweather did against De la hoya, run&hit yet he loses. Jim Lampley bashing that judge that had it 117-111 for spinks is rediculous, how is ok when another judge had the same score for Taylor based on what? landed a clean shot every 2 rounds.

This is why boxing is dieing, the judges ruin it. They need to make up their minds on what they are scoring is it going to be aggression,landed shots,defense, or what.


I love the way he avoided the Pavlik question, if he fought Pavlik like that he'd get TKO'd in less then 5 rounds.

IMO Pavlik is the real deal.

how is miranda overrated because he lost to the real deal? you get a few dummies on an internet message board saying that miranda will ko the world in 1 round and now he's overrated?

miranda was the lesser fighter tonight but he still showed a lot of heart in a HELL of a slugfest. the fight was everything a fight fan could hope for. this is getting ridiculous.

basically everyone should just give pavlik a ton of credit for being the man of the night.

The Clear Loser tonight were the fans

The Jermain Taylor, Cory Spinks fight is just another one of the many fights that should never take place. They are a stain on boxing. The slow pace and mismatch was evident from the second the fight was made. True champions must step up and face the highest quality opponents.

Kelly Pavlik and Edison Miranda should be commended for manning up and facing each other. They put on a great show and both had a lot to lost. But one thing is for sure... Tomorrow morning, everyone will be talking about them, and not Taylor or Spinks.

[Gaurdian]

Taylor will duck Pavlik, you can bet your ass!

After the fight Taylor runs his mouth like he did something?

This guy is a joke!

There is no way he is going to fight Pavlik, I bet he vacates the title and moves up!
