Well he got 9000 in there on a Thursday night, not bad. I don't know, I'm not to happy. Spinks told Fightnews he was disappointed in himself so he took the high road. I think an immediate rematch is definitely in order though and I hope it happens fairly soon.
Notice how Spinks does not mention anything abou the decision. But does state he let himself down and hes upset with himself.
Words of a defeated man if you ask me.
Better than a stupid excuse like most guys come up with now. I think he knew he sholdnt have let it get close enough for Verno to win.Quote:

Not an excuse but words of him not feeling like he lost.
I thought Spinks won the fight, but to be honest I was posting and surfing the net at the same time so didn't pay that much attenttion.
From listening to Bob Sheridan I was assuming Spinks was cakewalking it but I should have remembered that Bob has never had a clue when it comes to judging fights.

Wow, pretty shocked to hear that. Good for Verno, I can't say anything about the decision but Verno's one of those guys that I think of when I think of a true professional fighter that had to work for everything he got, not a silver spoon in your mouth type of HBO boxer.
Can't say anything about the decision but I'm just glad to see Verno get one more good payday, Spinks will get another shot, more than one, he's still young.
