Mikey only showed up for a check and the moral victory of going the distance.

Outside of Ring, the vote for Spence winning by KO was the norm. Spin it how you want. All MG has to hang his hat on is merely surviving. He ''tried'' and he failed. The ww experiment is done. Most of us thought Mikey would get KO'd. We didn't think he'd lose every single round BEFORE getting knocked out. There's a difference between getting worn down and knocked out by a guy who's bigger than you and just straight getting schooled by a guy you're supposed to be a better boxer than you.

He was in survival mode pretty much all night. That was a joke of a performance. He should apologize to everybody who bought the PPV because that was pathetic. - -OK, pillow fists only showing up for a marshmallow flurry is it? Many fighters have taken a beating only to turn it around with a big KO. Mikey didn't take a beating, yet put Spence thru his paces enough to hold hope for the late rds that never came. In the end, it was a poorly advised fight nobody ever asked for that additionally served notice that maybe Spence ain't the wrecking machine he's made out to be. If you sweethearts wanna be squallin', you sweethearts ought be squallin' about BALCO Vic's VADA vitamins and multi million dollar training compound designed to give select fighters physical advantages over average po boys who lack the funds and celebrity to engage in such blatant cheating.

He was in survival mode pretty much all night. That was a joke of a performance. He should apologize to everybody who bought the PPV because that was pathetic. What’s equally as pathetic is that Spence couldn’t even phase him. Man down my ass

I read every word. That's why I was left wondering. Instead of ''predicting'', you typed ''had''. Even then, picking MG to win the 1st 6 rds was a wow statement. I'm surprised you gave MG that much of a chance. It brought me amusement. Again, many people had Mikey possibly winning the early rounds, just like Kell Brook & Amir Khan had early success against GGG & Canelo, not just me. Many experts predicted this as well. Virtually nobody had Mikey losing 12 out of 12 rounds in their predictions. The overwhelming prediction is that Mikey could survive early because he was the better boxer and then Spence's size & power would carry him to a mid to late rounds TKO Spence overperformed. Garcia underperformed

I didn't need anyone to explain what was so evident prefight. I do need an explanation to the b/u in your quotes. Dude, you completely MISREAD what I wrote. I was saying many of us were PREDICTING that Mikey WOULD win the first half of the fight. Not that he actually did win the first half of the fight. I said time after time (if you could read) that he lost virtually every round over and over again. That is what took people by surprise. Just admit Spence was better than y'all thought. Kell Brook looked way better against GGG than Mikey did tonight and Amir Khan was actually winning the fight against Canelo before he got KTFO. Spence didn't really physically manhandle Mikey. He just was quicker, more on point technique wise, and out boxed him on top of being bigger and stronger. I would've agreed with you before I saw the fight, but after watching the fight I think it helps Spence greatly. People just expected Spence to brute strength his way to Mikey and overpower him, but they thought Mikey could/would outbox him and be more elusive as the smaller "better boxer". Many of us had Mikey winning the 1st half of the fight before being "overwhelmed" by Spence. That's not what happened. Spence was the better boxer skill wise, was quicker, and was smarter in the ring. That's why Mikey arguably won zero rounds. Amir Khan won rounds against Canelo. Kell Brook won rounds against GGG. Mikey is a top 5 P4P fighter and arguably won not one round against a guy lower on the P4P list then him.

No matter. It wasn't remotely close. Mikey will not win a title at ww or above. Everything else is just face saving semantics. Anyone who gave MG a rd and predicted he'd win were the ones who were high. I never said the fight was close. That's the point. People thought that the fight would be closer until it ended in TKO. Instead, you got a blowout fight that didn't even have a knockdown. I'll let Dougie Fisher explain it Nobody asked Garcia to jump to welterweight to fight Spence, and nobody forced him to do so. He made that decision. He took that risk, and there are consequences with those kinds of choices in boxing. Garcia wasn’t physically blown out by Spence. Had that happened, a lot of fans and media would have just said that he was too small. But he was outclassed by Spence. He was outboxed and he was unable to make any adjustments. When that happens, you lose stature in the sport, even when you’re the smaller fighter, and especially when you proclaim yourself to be the better/smarter boxer – just ask Guillermo Rigondeaux if you don’t believe me.

I fell asleep and missed the stream thus missed out on the opportunity to berate him for that stupid fuckin hat! He looks like such a jackass!! ARRRGGHHH!! https://img.bleacherreport.net/img/images/photos/002/719/412/hi-res-Preview_crop_exact.jpg?w=900&h=600&q=75 Yea it’s why I tagged you lol. I was dying

IDC if you go the distance but people need to stop patting themselves on the back for going the distance. Mikey didn't even try. Was expecting him to at least show Mexican style bc of his heritage.] He would have got knocked out if he went that route.

FINAL TALLY 15-8-1 in favor of Spence. A lot closer than I'd expect :lol1: 11 of the 15 for Spence had him winning by ko/tko. Virtually everyone who picked MG had it by a very close dec. You can say most of the picks for MG was just cheerleading and not actually analyzing the fighters unbiasedly. As we all saw, MG didn't belong in there and wouldn't be a threat to any top 10 ww. I'm still curious as to what rd(s) people think MG won :lol1: Dude, are you paying attention? Are you high? None of those people thought Mikey would lose every round. They thought he'd get WORN DOWN and stopped after putting up a valiant effort. That's not what happened. Spence won just about every minute of every round. NOBODY predicted that. They predicted Spence's size would be too much, but that's not what happened. He was the better boxer too and fought smarter. Most people thought Mikey was the smarter technician and would do better than he did.

http://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/26238229/errol-spence-jr-vs-mikey-garcia-predictions-win Most (99%) people over at ESPN thought Spence would ko Mikey. The couple of people who picked Mikey to win were of Latin descent like Joe Cortez :lol1: Nationalistic nonsense - ''Viva Mexico :boxing:'' A few thought Mikey would lose but in a valiant effort. Edit - Which rd (s :lol1: ) do people think Mikey won ?!?!?!? Plenty of people thought Mikey would win at The Ring or at least lose in a split decision or would do okay https://www.******.com/556661-fight-picks-errol-spence-vs-mikey-garcia/ Virtually nobody expected Mikey to get shutout and lose 11 or 12 rounds.

Many ?!?!?!? Spence needs to test his greatness vs other WW's. Mikey is not a ww. If Spence can move down and dominate, THEN he should move up on the p4p chart. Yes, most experts had Mikey hanging with Spence for a few rounds and possibly outboxing him like Khan did to Canelo or even having some success like Kell Brook had against GGG Very few people thought Spence would win every single round. Even those of us who thought he'd stop Mikey thought Mikey would hang for a little while. i never believed Mikey was better technically then Spence You're one of the smart few, my friend.

Miley looked like broner in there ironically. Barely threw punches. Got beat like a piñata. Then raised his hand after every round lmfao yeah that was funny as he'll,maybe it's for morally winning each round

Just admit Spence was better than y'all thought. Kell Brook looked way better against GGG than Mikey did tonight and Amir Khan was actually winning the fight against Canelo before he got KTFO. Spence didn't really physically manhandle Mikey. He just was quicker, more on point technique wise, and out boxed him on top of being bigger and stronger. i never believed Mikey was better technically then Spence

I truly believe Mikey foolishly thought he could win. they did a good job on promoting and if your hear enough times from Mikey that''he sees something'' and SRL and others that he has a chance,you will start too believe it

Multi-million dollar sparring match. Nothing more. There was more effort in the build up and press conferences than in the ring. They knew the deal.

Was this really a test when only a scant few gave MG an honest chance at winning ? Not some nationalistic bullshlt.... ''Mikey's gonna win 'cause he's Mexican :boxing: !!!!'' :lol1: Imho, Spence's place on the p4p list should not improve. I would've agreed with you before I saw the fight, but after watching the fight I think it helps Spence greatly. People just expected Spence to brute strength his way to Mikey and overpower him, but they thought Mikey could/would outbox him and be more elusive as the smaller "better boxer".

Almost seems like spence wasnt trying to ko him. Wasnt seeing his normal come forward relentlessness. He seemed to back off at times when he got him to the ropes or corner. Was he trying to put on a technical schooling for garcia or did they just agree before the fight to go to decision n get them g's?

Mikey a fucking warrior!!! Spence proved he one of the greatest welterweights ever!!! The haters be damned!!!

I feel sorry for the people who got manipulated into buying that PPV. Started as a 9:1 mismatch and proved exactly that. People are dumb though and get manipulated.
