Spinks lunges in with the head anytime they got close and he gave some headbutts. Also that causes the ref to immediately break them, he was like Cortez with the breaks. Two "slips" that could have been knockdowns, especially the one in the 12th round where Mayorga clearly hit him with a body shot. Just because Cory was flopping around doesnt mean that its not a kd. If a guy is off balance and you hit him thats a knock down most of the time. One time he leans back so much that he falls.
I'm glad we half way agree 
But you gave Spinks far too many rounds. I had him winning 2 rounds maybe 3. He makes Mayorga miss, but he never makes him PAY.
Spinks would go on to later get gifts against Judah and Karmazin, no doubt because of his last name, but neither of those were nearly as bad as the decision he was given agasint Mayorga.
Utter nonsense.
Mayorga clearly knocked the man down at least twice.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
