Spinks clearly outboxing Mayorga and it being a close fight, split descision are contradictary statements. It was a close fight. I thought Mayorga won, and Spinks ass was down good in that fight.
not really, you can outbox someone and still lose in boxing....

i actually think the ref was bugging mayorga too much and the 12th round knockdown shuld have counted..anyone i think spinks has a longer career than mayo because he;s not gonna retire anytime soon

ive seen the fight and spinks clearly outboxed mayorga, it was a close fight but i had spinks ahead
btw i also had vernon forrest in the second fight with mayorga but i gueess vernon just didnt do enough
EDIT- it was a majority decision not split, no judge had it for mayorga
Vernon did more than enough to win the rematch with mayo..he just didnt bully enough and wasnt a big enough thug for the judges. Oh, and he didnt try and fling mayo all over the ring either. But he definately deserved the win the second time around. Forrest is an outstanding boxer, while Mayo is a street fighter...it all depends on which the judges prefer any given night. Thankfully that crap didnt work with Tito and he got his ass handed to him.
Mayorga couldn't scare Tito the way he did with Forrest. When he let Forrest hit him on the chin it discouraged Forrest to see him take the punch. I thought the Mayorga/Forrest rematch was a draw. I had Spinks/Mayorga a draw but with the point deductions I had Spinks winning. If you look closely especially at the replays Spinks misses alot of punches that appear to land. There was one point I think in the 4th round where Mayorga landed a righthand and Spinks came back with about 5 punches that all missed. Even on the replays you can see they clearly missed though Chris Byrd tried to say that they landed.
