Spina come back to stop Brinkley in eleven!

Joey Spina TKO11 Jesse Brinkley... Jesse Brinkley started strong against Joey Spina, winning most of the first six rounds of their super middleweight bout at Foxwoods in Connecticut on Thursday. But Brinkley, who fought several five and seven rounders as part of The Contender reality series, seemed to tire as the bout wore on. Brinkley was cut and Spina swung the momentum around completely. After neglecting a body attack, a Spina punch to Brinkley's midsection resulted in an eleventh-round knockdown. Brinkley barely beat the count and bought himself a few extra seconds by spitting out the mouthpiece, but he was unable to withstand further punishment, and the bout was stopped a few seconds later with Brinkley retreating in obvious distress. source: Wednesday Night Fights on ESPN2
