    It's true, Watch the tape you can see when Spinks gets smacked from the one side to the ring to the other Cunningham is walking up the steps.

    Good call on his camps behalf, although I thought the Judge stopped it way to late. Had Zab had the killer instinct most boxers do, Cory could have been seriously hurt.

      Judah paused for a while. If he didn't and continued on, Spinks would be hurt more than he is when it was stopped. So no. I don't think it was stop prematurely.

        Judah wanted the ref to stop the fight not because he didnt want to hurt the man, it was cause he wanted to win, come on now

          It was late in my opinion, Spinks didnt throw one punch or keep his guard up. The guy was completely out on his feet.
          I hate to admit it, but its true. Cory didnt need to take anymore of that punishment..the fact that he got caught like that while trying to 'slip', or whatever, was proof that it was over. He just does not get caught like that..not while he has his 'bearings' anyway. That truly ******!

            Yeah, it was over for Spinks. He was dazed and confused out there. I guess we got to see what would've happened if Mayorga was actually able to hit him one good time in their fight.

                  Judah already knew he had the fight won when he hurt spinks with the 2 lefts...some people think of judah as a punkass but he still doesnt want to hurt another fighter...him and spinks are friends I assume and hewas asking the ref to stop it because he said spinks eyes rolled back.....so u saying he wanted the fight stopped only because he wanted the win is just ******.....he alreayd knew he was gonna win...but he wasnt willing to hurt someone on the way to victory

                      Yeah, Zab is a way more skilled boxer than Mayorga. There is no debating that. I was just pointing out that his chin has never been tested because of his chronic get-out-of-the-way style
