With only 20 professional fights under his belt, Deandre fought Spinks at the Scottrade Center Promoted By Rumble Time Promotions, Dibella Ent and Don King for the IBF light middleweight title and showed that he can compete with the world’s best, losing a close and somewhat disputed decision, as one of the judges scored the bout in favor of Latimore.
