How could Flaherty have it 117-111 for Spinks?

[tedsares]

How can you give a runner who is not throwing punches this kind of margine. Should Flaherty be suspended?

[Mike Tyson ko power]

He was throwing more than Taylor so you can't say he was'nt throwing punches

[tedsares]

But he was missing and running. Taylor was chasing him which in my mind is ring generalship. Spinks was running like a rabbit.

[LegendBoxing65]

remember when with Hagler/Leonard one guy had it 118-110? I think the judge was Jo Jo Guerra..

[artest2000]

does not matter if he was runing he did the cleaner work. and boxed very well and won. the name of the game is to not get hit. he made taylor miss the whole night.

well done spinks you can keep your head up. u won clearer then mayweather did agaisn't oscar.

if mayweather was spinks the fight would have been have went mayweathers way

[The Boxer]

i wanted spinks to win but he lost and that judge needs help scoring fights. what other fights has he scored.

spinks didn't land alot of shots. he clearly wanted no part of taylor. thats why i didn't understand why taylor didn't jump him. Spinks had almost no answer for taylors righthand. it wasn't a great performance on taylors part but i felt like he landed the cleaner shots more often.

[Purist]

You know I've seen on some websites someone having Spinks winning by 117-111 I think on boxingtalk. So it isn't out of the question

[The Boxer]

i wish people would stop comparing this to the PBF DLH fight.

PBF was way more accurate than spinks was in his fight. PBF also was landing the harder shots in his fight. plus PBF defense was better.

Looking at the punchstats of that Taylor Spinks fight. I think Spinks landed about 20 or 30 more and Taylor landed about 20 or 30 less(and thats being kind to Taylor)

[The Boxer]

i remember seeing something like spinks only landed like 85 out of 500 punches.

And that is way off for those of us who actually watched the fight.

(that wasn's a diss to you by the way)

I really didn't see Taylor landing 101 punches the whole fight. I think he was the one closer to landing 85 and Spinks was the one closer to landing 101.

[The Boxer]

that is true star it didn't look like taylor landed that many shots. at the same time taylor blocked alot of spinks shots.

[OumaFan]

I haven't seen the fight but I don't ever put much stock into compubox.

Didn't they say Gatti landed like 40 something punches in the Mayweather fight Come on now, more like 4.

A lot of times I'll see a compubox statistic for a fight and think that it was way off.

yeah but Spinks still landed more then Taylor even if you look at it that way.

Watching the fight, it looks like Spinks outlanded Taylor in the majority of those rounds. And I know for danm well that the "compubox" round that they said Taylor landed 15 punches, I know he didn't. I didn't see Taylor land anywhere near even 10 a round on Spinks(maybe 6 at the most)

And in a round where I see Spinks land a about 10 punches. 3 to the body 3 jabs and a straight left hand and a combination. Compubox has spinks landing 4

tell that to Taylors eye

Editors Note: George Kimball scored the bout 118-110 for Taylor, Brad Cooney scored the bout 117-111 Spinks, G. Leon scored it 115-113 Spinks.

The same way Brad Cooney can have the same score for Spinks
