Yeah so am I. Well maybe not proud of it but I've got no problem voicing it. Although the ring entrances are so damn embarrassing sometimes I feel myself rooting against him until I see him in the ring and realize why I like him. When he isn't gassed, he's a real exciting fighter. He looked awesome against Roman Karmazin, in and out in the blink of an eye it was impressive stuff.

I still think he got lucky in that Mayorga fight, he was rocked 2 or 3 times and two of his knock downs were not counted, on top of that the low blows from Mayorga provided another 2 points for Spinks, it was a nasty confusing fight, Mayorga should have won.
Re: Have you ever been a closet fan!
Mayorga fought such a dirty fight that night. He was doing everything from rabbit punching to hitting after the bell and to be honest, he is lucky only to have been penalized 2 points. I thought he should have been penalized in the first for pushing Spinks to the ground and then hitting him.
Even without the point deductions, Spinks won more rounds imo. Just when Mayorga won he won big. But for the most part Spinks slipped a lot of Mayorga's blows and I thought he jabbed and circled very well. I remember one exchange in the fight I think it was in the 7th where Mayorga caught Spinks coming in with a big punch, Spinks jabbed and landed a big cross and went back to jabbing and circling.
I've always liked Spinks because he is in and out so quick and that is so hard for anyone to figure out. He's one dimensional and it isn't exactly hard to hurt him and I know a lot of people don't reward his style with rounds but I do and I think most judges do aswell.
That last knockdown was the one that should of counted but even so, Mayorga still lost more rounds and wasn't penalized enough.

Re: Have you ever been a closet fan!
CC back Mick. Freitas?!?! ;D ;D ;D Williams ;D ;D ;D ;D (although I like a bit of P W too :D ;) )
Re: Have you ever been a closet fan!
What's wrong with Freitas? The guy is dynamite and his fight with Barrios was awesome. One of my best memories with my brother was watching that fight with him. Bit of a Golden Boy which I'm never a fan of but he's an exciting fighter. And I want the Barrios - Freitas rematch to happen more then anything.
And Williams is just exciting period. I mean he's huge and he throws a ton of punches and it isn't exactly hard to hit him. Whats not to like?
I got one, Antonio Margarito. He's an exciting fighter. I don't believe him to be a particulary good fighter but if you want a scrap he's your guy. It's always an exciting fight with him before he takes over completely.

I don't know honestly I think both have lost some explosiveness since their first encounter but then again their hatred towards each other would make up for it you would think. One of the big letdowns of last year for me was Freitas squaring off with Raheem instead of Barrios. And it was a bit depressing seeing how superior Guzman was to Barrios and I watched the fight kind of uneasily for 11 rounds until in that final round Guzman was out on his feet. I threw my computer chair to the side and started jumping up and down at the computer desk but it didn't work out. Can't believe the scores were so close.
And I just searched it on Youtube, Round 11 it doesn't get much better then this 8)

Re: Have you ever been a closet fan!
Come to think of it, would there be a better undercard to the DLH - PBF bout then a rematch between these two? Holy crap that would awesome.
