Spinks Wins Dull Decision Over Jones

cory spinks03.02.07 - By Scott Frake: Cory Spinks (36-3, 11 KO’s) successfully defended his IBF junior middleweight belt on Saturday night, winning a 12-round unanimous decision over challenger Rodney Jones (37-4-1, 22 KO’s) at the Silver Spurs Arena, Kissimmee, in Florida. Neither fighter did much to excite the crowd, many of whom loudly booed both fighters beginning in round four all the way until the 12th round. The final judges’ scores were 118-109, 120-108 and 120-108.

Part of the problem that made the fight so dull, it seems, was the fact that Jones, 38, had little power, poor hand speed, and scarcely any offensive skills for which to put any pressure on the much quicker Spinks. At 6’1,” 153 lbs, Jones was all arms, resembling a poor man’s Antonio Margarito, minus the power, high work rate and overall skills. In part, Jones’ lack of power was because he often tended to fight in close, a tactic that prevented him from extending his arms all the way to get the maximum power on his shots. On the rare occasions that Jones would fight at the proper distance, he would do remarkably well, landing cleanly to Spink’s head and driving him backwards. continue  l no comment
