i feel if taylor put out more jabs and pressed the fight he would have stopped corey. but then again its very hard when u fight some one like spinks who does not let you get set to throw. he was looking for openings.
it was even funnier to see how frustrated Manny was ;D
He was like "How is this man backing you up!? He has no power come on man!!"
And you know, if Manny felt Taylor was winning he wouldn't have told him "You need this round! You need to knock him out!" or something like that.
You know just thinking about it, even though the last round was even or for Spinks(or close for Taylor if you look at it that way) if that 12th round had gone to Spinks the fight would have been a draw(by the JUDGES scorecards) but I bet Taylor won the 12 on all three..
ONCE AGAIN it comes down to the 12th for Taylor.
Exactly. In the 12th, Taylor threw enough and was physical enough to keep spinks from landing his jab and potshotting him. Then Spinks pure ran for the last 30 seconds. On my card, that cost him a draw. Shame on JT for this lazy ass performance.

I would not be surprised to see Manny walk out on JT.

Taylor couldn't hit the broad side of a barn in the spinks fight. Terribly boring fight.

Maybe Flaherty feel asleep and just guessed the score? Seems feasable
