MEMPHIS, May 8th - While "The World Awaited" for another bout, Tennessee, Arkansas and Missouri fight fans are waiting for one too. Jermain Taylor and Cory Spinks are in the final stages of preparation for their WBC and WBO middleweight championship on Saturday, May 19 from FedExForum in Memphis, Tennessee. The bout will be televised live on HBO World Championship Boxing at 10:15pm (ET) / 9:15pm (CT) / 7:15pm (PT).
Jermain Taylor, from Little Rock, Arkansas, is universally recognized as the World Middleweight Champion. He defends his belts against St. Louis native, and current champion in Cory Spinks, who is more than a fighter with a famous last name. “Cory is a very good fighter, he’s a World Champion so that tells you a lot right there,” said Taylor. “He’s very fast and a top-notch fighter and I know he will be well prepared to do battle. I'm approaching this fight with Cory just like any other challenge to my belts, very serious.”
Because Spinks is a southpaw, Taylor has made sure his sparring partners are left-handed fighters and men who are quick. Spink's speed isn’t much of a concern for Taylor but he does understand you must prepare for it. continue l
