Yes I am a Larry Holmes fan. Yes I am no doubt biased. BUT...
I have sat down and watched the fights and scored them, doing
my best to be unbiased. I shall watch these fights again no
doubt and come up with different scores, but here they are
for those who care.

Please post your score cards if you could.

Holmes vs Spinks 1 - 143-143 draw

Holmes vs Spinks 2 - 144-141 Holmes

Holmes Vs Williams - 145-143 Holmes

Holmes vs Fergusson - 96-96 Draw

Holmes vs Norton - 145-141 Holmes

I hav not scored Maurice Harris fight yet and I can not
seem to find the score I had for the Witherspoon fight (sorry).

Thanks again guys

I don't have my exact scorecards for those fights.

However, I remember thinking Holmes beat Witherspoon fairly decisively, around nine rounds to six, maybe even 10-5. I was actually surprised to see so much controversy around it.

I had Holmes beating Norton exactly 8 rounds to 7.

I thought Spinks beat him fair and square in their first fight, maybe around 9 rounds to 6, or even 10-5.

I thought Holmes probably edged the rematch, let's say around 8-7 or 8-6-1. I thought the decision for Spinks was a bit questionable, but not a blatant robbery like some believed. I wouldn't have argued with a draw.

I am going to rewatch the first Spinks fight and try to
watch and score it again.
