Spinks dominates Canalito!
Michael Spinks 14-0-0 (10) easily beats Lee Canalito 17-2-1 (0) by a wide unanimous decision with scorecards of 99-91 (x2) and 98-91 to advance to the semi-finals of the WBC Tournament. Spinks easiliy outboxed an overmatched and outclassed Canalito for most of the fight to get a very comfortable win.

Dokes outpoints Trane!
Michael Dokes 16-4-0 (10) needs to make a major effort to beat tough italian Guido Trane 8-5-1 (6) by split decision. Two of the judges saw Dokes winning by 96-94 and 97-93 with the other fvoring the italian by 97-93. With an all-attack strategy Trane dominated most of the early rounds. On the sixth stanza Dokes connected a hard body blow and dropped Trane for a short count and after that he dominated most of the remainder rounds. The italian was always brave and gave a good fight until the final bell.

Now Michael Spinks and Michael Dokes will collide on one of the WBC Tournament semi-finals on April on the HP Pavilion.
