I am flabberghasted! Cannot believe phillips beat the ultra slippery spinks.

What a great result for the wily old vet!

on the current scene they are calling it a very bad decision

FFS that knackers up my 6 accumulator Bastard judges!!!
It's a fcuking conspiracy I tell ya

Olusegun v Wright- Olusegun
Valuev v Lyakhovich - Valuev, Nikolay On Points
Barker v Bendell-Barker, Darren
Peter v Maskaev- Peter, Samuel
Spinks v Phillips- Spinks, Corey On Points
Calzaghe v Hopkins - Calzaghe

and I thought the old boy was washed up when Silky Jones beat him years ago.

Cant say I am sad to see Spinks lose - his style just doesnt float my boat.

Anyone watch it on donking.tv?

WOW... Upset of the year for me... even surpases Campbell vs Diaz.

He turned his life around after the Silky Jones disaster.... but he looked washed up good in his last outing.

Jamie Moore vs Verno Phillips anyone.

Hats off to Verno, its almost 14 years since he stopped Lupe Aquino for the WBO title, and over 20 years since Verno turned pro.
To be even fighting at world level after that amount of time is amazing, hope he gets some decent paydays now.

Would love to get him over here for Jamie Moore, but i expect there's alot of promoters trying to get Verno to face there man now. They may see it as the easy option , but you can never write Verno off.

Plus Jamie Moore isn't ranked in the IBF top 15.

Awesome result, Phillips has been around for aaaages. Dont forget-- Phillips brought down the curtain on Julian Jacksons career with a 9th rd kayo. That was back in the Triassic period.

I think its bad for the sport if Spinks has been robbed again. By rights Spinks should be middleweight champ as he outboxed Taylor in their fight and now he has nowhere to go. Thats a shame

Going by reports it sounds like a close fight, could have gone either way. And the fight took place in Spinks hometown

I'm glad he won. Spinks is horrible. Philips also gave Ike Quartey some trouble. Decent fighter.

Why would you be glad If he was robbed though? Thinking he's horrible can't justify It.

Those hick loons on the current scene forum saying it was a robbery doesnt mean it actually was.

That whole section of boxrec should be shut down, so out of hand has it got in the past 3 or 4 years.
