Boxing: Sharkie's Machine: 'The Business of Boxing'

06.09.04 - By Frank Gonzalez Jr.: Saturday night at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, 26 year-old Welterweight Champion Cory Spinks improved his record to 34-2, with 11 KO's as he put on a boxing clinic against 33 year-old, former Lightweight Champion, Miguel Angel Gonzalez (49-4-1-39 KO's). Cory is the current holder of the WBA, WBC and IBF Titles.

The first round went Gonzalez's way as he was able to do some nice bodywork and press Spinks effectively. I thought they split round three and the rest of the rounds were all Spinks. The first few rounds were exciting. I was surprised at how well Gonzalez was doing against the slick boxing Spinks.
