Yes, I thought Scott LeDoux won that fight as well.
If I remember correctly, Leon came out fast and raked Scott with some real
good right-hands to the head during the first 2-Rounds.
Leon also added in some quick 'left-right' combinations as he out-sped Scott.
But by Round 3, Scott was smothering Leon and had backed him up to the
Ropes and worked Leon's mid-section with left-hands.
Leon was forced to fight off the Ropes, and was limited to occasional quick
3-Punch flurries, while Scott slammed away at Leon's mid-section and
upper-body.
Leon looked a bit weary by Round 6, as he was getting mauled by Scott
who had a 30 lb. weight advantage.
At the end of Round 8, Scott had the 'clear' edge {4-2-2 in Rounds}.
Scott had a solid early Round 9, but Leon caught his second-wind and rallied
with some good flurries late to edge the Round.
Round 10 was a spirited Round, but neither fighter had the clear advantage. It
was real close.
I had it 4-3-3 {97-96} for Scott LeDoux.
After the 'Draw' was announced, both fighters thought that each had won.
Leon Spinks >
"Scott never hurt me. He's strong, but I never felt any of his power. I thought
that I won, but I always accept the Judges decision. A 'Draw' is fair for the both
of us."
Scott LeDoux >
"I told Leon that he is a good fighter, but he's not a 10-Round fighter yet.
And he's too small for the Heavyweights."
"Of course I thought that I won. I did all the work from Rounds 3 thru 8. It's
another one of those Decision's that doesn't go my way. Some guys get the
breaks and the big fights, and guys like me get to go home and go back to
their regular jobs. That's just the way it is."
