He gets no moral victory for losing the fight. Mikey weighed 149 on fight night for Easter. Spence weighed 156 on fight night his last fight. That is only 7 pounds difference in their respective fight night weights and Mikey will weigh more on fight night as a welterweight than he did as a lightweight. Spence isn't a giant and Mikey isn't a midget. Whoever wins the fight is the better fighter.
there is no such thing as a moral victory in boxing..you either win or you lose
Exactly. Especially when you’re striving for greatness, there are no moral victories
Maidana got one vs Floyd, canelo and Jacobs got one vs ggg
Funny you say that because I was actually going to mention Jacobs and Maidana in my original post
But yeah i think fighters can definitely earn moral victories in the sport if their expected to get beat down but are able to hold their own and make it competitive their stock goes up
Really no point for the fight to happen. No demand either.
I like Mikey but he ain’t Duran. Spence ain’t pass prime De la Hoya.
Hell Loma doesn’t even want to fight oldie Pac at 140lbs which make more sense than Mikey fighting Spence.
At the end of the day the W is all that matters
But disagree sometimes There can be moral victories for the loser and their stock can go up
But with Mikey he needs to at least go the distance and make it competitive but i wouldn’t write Mikey off quite yet
