Can anyone see Spinks beating Mayorga?

He won a clear cut decision? I dont think so. I will have to watch this again but I thought Mayorga won that fight. These referees in Jersey are fuking horrible. In the Simms fight I'm pretty damn sure the ref yelled break and then let Simms knock Garcia out.

The clown that reffed Spinks vs Mayorga should of just blown Spinks right in the ring. Mayorga definitely shouldnt of lost two points. I agree that he was getting a little dirty but I've seen alot worse and I dont think that he was at the point where you deduct a point from him. Close but I thought it was BS.

However, what was really horrible is that he did not call the last Spinks "fall down" a knock down. I actually thought the last two were knockdowns. He got too close to Mayorga, saw he was going to get hit hard so he falls out of the way. But he still gets hit and it knocks him off balance. I thought those were knockdowns - the last one clearly.

Bottom line I thought Spinks beat Mayorga to the punch most of the night but Mayorgas shots were harder and had more substance.

All I have to say is that if I ever have to watch a Don King PPV event again Im going to have to bring a barf bag with me.

almly...i read this thread earlier in the week and by my comments,i think you got the gist that i thought that this was a little dangerous to be laying long odds on....and i just read your reply to my "retrospective" write up and i know you disagree...and that`s cool....we don`t have to agree or think alike...

i`m sorry you were on mayorga...but don`t sweat it....we`ll get `em in january and febrauary....

hang in there ,bud and g.l.

Luckily I didnt get on Mayorga but it's interesting. After the walk ins I would have bet my ass off on Mayorga because I thought he had the eye of the tiger and I thought Spinks looked petrified and scared to be in there. I guess I was wrong. However, it's too bad this wasnt an HBO thing so we could see the replay. I still think Mayorga one but I have totally changed my mind on things after watching a replay.

I think we can all agree on one thing. If he are ever forced to watch a Don King PPV broadcast again it will be wise to have barf bags sitting next to us during the broadcast.
Jesus.

An old black guy in Vegas gave me Spinks in this fight, he said how could a guy be an 8-1 underdog and a 5-1 favorite 2 fights later, and he said Corey would not lose with his dad and uncle in the corner, so a nice cash on Spinks at +400.
