    Someone asked me about the Latimore-Spinks fight...

    And here's what I told him.

    It's going to look like the second Judah fight, only he's fighting a stronger, bigger guy with a harder left hand. Latimore may be called The Bull but he's no Lamotta but Spinks is no Earnie Shavers. Latimore has a good amateur background, good footwork and most importantly, he's hungry.

    I don't think Spinks is hungry for anything but Wendy's at this point in his career. Spinks is open for two punches: a wide right hand like the ones that Mayorga and Gonzalez scored with, and a straight left hand. Those are Latimore's two best shots.

      I think he will. He has a lot of talent, he was just overlooked because of his one KO loss to a non-puncher. He has the talent and skill to pull it off. I'd put money on the motivated young gun over the fat cat.

          Gardner is considered a non-puncher? He fights in alot different weight-classes. Maybe he was just too big for Latimore @154. Saw his fight w/ Dawson. Didn't catch his fight w/ Abraham.

            I got Latimore in this fight too. I am surprised someone actually cares about this fight though.

              Seriously. Not even hardcore boxing fans care about this fight. Spinks is such a ****in bore, that he's vanished off the boxing map.

                I only care about this fight if Latimore wins.

                  U also said Bradley-Holt and Wright-WIlliams would be boring.

                    Gardner had 8 KOs in his 20 wins. Gardner dusted him in 3 rounds.
