BAMAPHIN 22
FinHeaven Elite
Cory Spinks got a majority decision over Roman Karmazin to capture the International Boxing Federation junior middleweight title Saturday night.
Both fighters came out in the 12th and final round as though neither was certain who was leading the bout. Spinks avoided action, and it might have made the difference. Two judges had him winning 115-113. The third judge had the bout even, 113-113.
Spinks, the son of former heavyweight champion Leon Spinks, struggled from rounds six to 10, when Karmazin landed several good shots. Karmazin got his best punch in with about 30 seconds left in the 10th round. The right-cross to the side of Spinks' head stunned the left-hander, who hung on to get into the 11th.
