Cory Spinks: “I’m back and I’m ready for anybody. I won back the world title at junior middleweight.
“I was a little rusty but I shook it off.” (Regarding being knocked down in the first round) “I thought it was mostly a slip in the first round, I thought I tripped just like the referee ruling Deandre’s knockdown a slip in the 12th round.
“I knew I had to perform in the last round and I did. I’m a master at this and I went out like a dog and got it.”
Deandre Latimore: “I’m a little upset. I dropped him in the first round. That decision should have been mine. The scorecard had it 114-113 (for Spinks). I should have had that edge.”
“I cut him and he cut me, what can I say? He got the decision.”
(On his first-round knockdown of Spinks) “I caught him with a hook. He leaned in and I got him with some good shots and he went down. I played my hand right and I thought I should have won. I dropped him.
Devon Alexander: “Rodriguez was good. He gave me good work. He’s a rugged, awkward fighter.
“I’m ready for anybody at 140 pounds. I can and will get better. I’m the WBC super lightweight mandatory challenger. Now I’m ready for my first world championship appearance.”
Jesus Rodriguez: “I got caught with a good shot (in the ninth round) and I just couldn’t see anymore. Devon was just too fast for me tonight.”
Mark de Mori: “It was a perfect fight for me because it gave me some rounds and my opponent wasn’t a pushover. In the end, the body shots I threw would have knocked down a horse. I had five knockdowns in the fight and they were all from body shots.”
Mark DeLuz: “I've fought some real guys at heavier weights. I fought at bantamweight tonight and felt great. I can fight at this weight, no problem.”See you at the Fights.
Thanks for your time.

LATIMORE WANTS SPINKS OR PHILLIPS AFTER BIG WIN AGAINST POWELL
ST. LOUIS, MO- Two weeks ago St. Louis native Deandre “THE BULL” Latimore scored the biggest win of his career as he stopped #1 IBF Junior Middleweight Sechew Powell in the seventh round at the Hard Rock Café in New York City. The bout, broadcast on ESPN2’s Wednesday Night Fights is being called an early contender for upset of the year.
Said Jerry Guiliano, manager of Latimore, “We had a terrific game plan coming into the fight. I knew it was a step up for Deandre, but our camp was very confident we could pull the upset.
We feel that since we beat the IBF #1 we should be given that ranking. Deandre took it right to Powell and should be rewarded.
About Latimore’s next bout, Guiliano stated, “We’d like to have a big fight in St. Louis. Either Verno Phillips or Cory Spinks would be perfect. Cory’s from St. Louis and it would be a perfect cross town showdown. It would be a great fight with all of St. Louis wanting to see two of their favorite fighters.”
Throwing down the gauntlet, Guiliao said, “The question is will Cory have the guts to fight after Deandre’s stunning upset of Powell? Cory is being promoted by Don King and this fight fits into Don’s "Only in America" theme. With the floods in the Midwest and all the other issues St. Louis faces, a fight like this could really boost moral in the area. If Cory is a good as everyone claims he will step up and take our challenge. “
The 22 year old Latimore, 19-1 (16KO’s) is trained Kenny Adams who has worked with numerous world champions and assistant Jacob Chaves with strength and conditioning coach Ray Franklin rounding out the team.
