Paez vs Spann- Proof That I've Gone Senile

[greynotsoold]

You had to love that about Paez; he'd dance and gyrate and make faces but he didn't run. If he pissed you off, he was right there.

Paez use to come on ITV, a mainstream terrestrial channel, so he was watched and loved by many boxing fans. I thought he was more gimmick than substance but he did pull off some great wins at his best and always gave a good fight when he lost.

I think Spann was due to fight Whitaker if he won. Jorge put a stop to that.

Not sure how Tracey Spann lost this bout at Lightweight.

The 28 year-old southpaw, with a record of 26-0-0 {20 KO's} had
the youth, power and speed on his side.

And, Tracy had been boxing as a Professional since October 1983 {8-Years}

It was a close decision but Paez pulled it off,

Saying it like that Spann may have been robbed as Paez was the money fight for Pernell.

Spann was not robbed. His head was on a visible swivel when caught and he was stiffened more than once. Close gritty scrap.
