I was amazed Verno was able to hit Spinks as he lunged in. Cory's reflexes just aren't the same, the trainer change looks to have affected him.
    see, i could back this post. like i said in my other posts, i didn't score it. i thought spinks threw more, but he really didn't land much of anything. it was definitely really close. i probably woulda had it 115-113 spinks, just from scoring it in my head.

    either that, or don king bet mad dough on the +450 underdog.

      I didn't find the fight too boring. It was way better than his fight with Jermain. I can't see how Cory lost more than 3-4 rounds.

      He may be boring as hell to casual fans but he shouldn't be robbed like that. Don King being the crook he is...

          I was considering taking those odds because Verno can fight. If I did I would have thought I'd thrown my money away until the decision was read.

            Yeah to be fair alot of what Spinks threw didnt always connect and was taken on the gloves by Verno but still the only time Verno really landed was when Spinks decided to trade with him. Im no Spinks fan but Im a fan of fairness. Spinks earned the win.

              In my opinion, Spinks clearly won the fight. By a wide margin.

              I didn't write down my score though.

                this was the worst robbery i seen since chavez vs. whitaker. how can the judges say phillips won more than 3 rounds. cory should have boxed more in the fight than slugging sometimes. i think he was just trying to give the hometown some action. there was even some boos. i'm from STL. advice to cory neve fight in STL again,they don't appreciate you.

                  Yeah it's one of the worst I've seen since Augustus/Burton.

                  This one might be as bad.

                    I missed it but I heard it was better than expected. Can't wait to check the fight out. I thought Verno might be able to eke out a close decision.

                      I can't think of any recent fight that had a worse decision than this one. How do you give Verno 7 rounds. When they said split decision the whole crowd was like WHAT?
