Re: Cory Spinks scraping the barrell again.
er...wrong post. Wrong thread..wrong forum too.
Re: Cory Spinks scraping the barrell again.
Well, Bilbo, I doubt if it has much to do with Cory personally turning down better fighters. Most boxers will box anyone, but they let their management make the fights. And, even then, the opportunities aren't always plentiful. Spinks has a boring style, let's face it. Most fans don't want to see him, therefore most of the top fighters in his weight class don't want to face him because the risk/reward doesn't balance. It's business. Who the hell at 154 wants to fight a guy who will bring them little capital and most likely connect them to a stinker?

CC mate Verno has always been under estimated and appreciated...he is just not a guy that draws alot of attention personality wise...he is real quiet...just like to go in do his job and call it a day...I have known Verno since I was a teenager and train both his sons Josh and Thage in the amateurs...Agree Verno does deserve a decent payday...though I don't think he will get a big one against Spinks it will be decent
Verno Phillips is a very good boxer. Better than Spinks and Taylor IMO. But he's also gettin old.
He is on his way out....Good fighter though who If he had a better promotion team over the years would have been a big star in the sport IMO
Re: Cory Spinks scraping the barrell again.
You guys are telling jokes. Spinks will have an easy time of beating Phillips. He was a guy who WAS good. When he was on, he was on as in the humiliating defeat of Kostya Tzsyu. But he was surrounded by the wrong people and fell short of his potential. Face it, Verno looked old 3 or 4 years ago, now he's probably only in the ring because he needs the scratch.

Verno doesn't need the money...he has a few business's and some property....He was never a guy who lived beyond his means or extravigant....He is not big bucks rich but he is comfortable and will not be now or ever one of thise ex fighters living off of SSi or something...plus his wife makes a decent living

Wrong fighter man. Your thinking of Vince Phillips ;)
Re: Cory Spinks scraping the barrell again.
Crap, I ALWAYS get them confused. Verno Phillips could DEFINITELY take the fight.

That's pretty much how I see it, he deserves a payday, he's just a solid guy.
Though I don't think like some people that he'll win.

Phillips is a good boxer. Slick and what not. I don't know that he would have been a star. But he would have been a World Champion a couple times, instead of interim World Champ, which is what he was I believe while Ouma was injured. I like Phillips, pissed me off when he beat my boy Teddy Reid up so bad though. Reid was crude, but such a WARRIOR!
Re: Cory Spinks scraping the barrell again.
Still no mention of Roman Karmizan?

:coolclick: bro, Mayorga did indeed beat Vargas 8)
Re: Cory Spinks scraping the barrell again.
I think Verno is a solid guy but a bit far past his best to trouble Spinks. Cory does need to start looking at a Karmazin rematch or try to get Forrest, Alcine or Dzindiruk in the ring. Theres not a lot going on at 154 at the moment so Spinks should try to clean it out while waiting for another big fight to come along.
Re: Cory Spinks scraping the barrell again.
Spinks Is the kind of guy I watch only in the hopes he gets KTFO.Hes also "touched" in the head.
Great fleet footed flight not fight guy though :bawling:
I pray for Vernos old school arching L.Hook..........ala Julian Jackson KO win ;D
