Ha! I like that analogy

But it is still a little disheartening to see such a small crowd on a night where we had so many prospective future stars out there.
Witherspoon, Berto, Miranda, Pavlik... You'd hope more fans would wanna check these kids out.
But then again, Spinks in the main event isn't exactly a crowd packing style of fighter.
I'm pretty sure if this undercard were paired with something like JT - Calzaghe, or even JT - Miranda, the crowd would've been a lot better.
Mind you, I'm not blaming the poor turnout on Spinks entirely, but I'm just saying it's hard for the mainstream fan to pile into the stadium in droves over a Taylor - Spinks main event.
