had it had been a 15 or 13 round fight Cory would have still won. Fighters train and fight for 12, if they had to go mor ethen they would pace better. I thought it was a good fight and a fair decision. Roman fought pretty good, but you can't give away that many early rounds and expect to win.
cant the same be said for giving around late rounds?
im guessing u had spinks ahead 7-1 after 8 rounds right?
i honestly, didn't score this fight, i was watching the UFC, and recorded it. So i watched the fight pretty late night, actually it was around 0100 this morning. I'm about to watch it again in about 15 mins. But from what i saw i didn't think it was a bad decision. You even said yourself that you only gave Roman 6 rounds. that would mean you thought it was a draw right?
does it matter that the german judge gave cory spinks round 12, and that is what ultimately gave spinks the belt?? if you consider that i would say roman was robbed. i dont see how anyone could give spinks the 12th round as he seriously did the most running in that round. i scored it 115-114 roman with an even round but i could easily see it a draw. i dont see it a clear cut victory for spinks and definitely not a victory that should be winning a championship belt. i would have been way happier with a draw. but thats boxing

i just watched the 1st 8 round sagain, and yes i did have it 7-1 after eight. the 1,3,4,5,7,8 i thought Spinks won clearly. The 6 Roman started doing better but still lost that round. in the 2nd round roman hurt cory early, but then Cory had a nice combo towards the ends of the rounds. the 2nd was close but i gave it to Roman, which was the only round i couls give him throughout the 1st 8. i'm about to watch the last 4 rounds now.
I had it 6-2 after giving Roman the 6th, which was arguably Spinks' round
i agree, only i gave the round to Spinks. Roman did better that rounds, you could see that he knew he was getting to far behind, but he just wasn't able take the round
no way spinks won the 12th
i had it 114-114, spinks dominated the early rounds, karmazin dominated the late rounds, so i think it was a clear draw in my view.
karmazin should have retained his title.
i knew it would go to spinks in a close fight
