    Simplest Way To Sum Up Taylor vs. Spinks

    spinks won this fight, i know there is already a thread but i think it is much more simple matter if you look at one good comparison.

    roman karmazin did way more to beat corey spinks than jermain taylor did, and lost... why? cause he was the designated loser.... being that karmazin beat spinks up and had him reeling badly the final 3 rounds (and was the reigning champ) and lost it only makes sense that jermain taylor lost at least as bad if not worse... he never so much as hurt cory and certainly landed nowhere near what roman did.

    quite simply, cory spinks had the script flipped on him "Karmazin style" he was nothing more than a designated loser for taylor, is was almost predetermined IMO. the rationale being that no matter what he does the decision can go to taylor under the pretense that spinks "never hurt taylor"
    or "slapps like a wimp"

    i like jermain, dont like cory, never have never will, but spinks won 7-5 on my card and a draw is acceptable but giving it to taylor 7-5 is starting to stretch

    i guess i should also note that i tend to favor the guy stickin and moving when i score fights like this.. for instance i had ben rabah winning widely over juan urango even though he lost a lopsided decision.

      spinks took more chance against guys like karmazin judah & mayorga, so your post does not make any sense sir.

      taylor won 11 rounds

        I agree I thought Spinks won. But Taylor didn't win eleven rounds. That's insane when Cory cleary won the first two rounds.

            I agree with the thread starter....It has been going on with Taylor since B-Hop 1.. I mean the Fight was Billed "the next in line" and I knew right then .. barring a KO B-Hop was going to lose..

              CompuBox stats show a different picture.. Both fighters landed about the same.. Cory was much busier...

              How many Times Have I heard.. "yeah but he was Busier"
              I guess it only counts when it has already been decided who the winner is..

                  When I was watching the fight I thought Spinks did enough to win. Keep in mind I didnt score, and I was high. I wont watch it again to score either.

                    I was watching the first and last third of this fight with a situation in between - but I saw Spinks making Taylor look like a ****ing fool when my head was up.

                    Taylor is in deep with the La Cosa HBONostra for that one.. I know what I saw.

                    He has getting outscored heavily.

                    A scoring wipeout really..
