Both made the weight requirements for the fight. There weren't any height or reach requirements I know of. Earlier Saturday I watched UFC and saw Darren Till who's a massive WW and has brag that he's naturally a LHW lose by KO to a smaller guy. A couple of fights before that he lost to Woodley who's even shorter. Mikey didn't have the tools necessary to win. Stop making excuses.
You're comparing Till to Spence , come on bro get out of here man. You don't know boxing if you didn't clearly see that the height, reach and weight were the determining factors in this fight.
So you're ok with a guy fighting a guy way way smaller then him but don't like someone to tell him hey now fight a guy you're size? I don't get it...

Of course not. Mikey earned his respect by tagging him with some hard ones in the 2nd. After that, Spence knew that goin in too hard would be risky, especially since Mikey showed good stamina throughout. You don't get an easy finish on a guy with stamina like that. Spence tried.
Dude... Stop with the excuses and name calling. You look silly. Garcia didn't make excuses yet some of his fans are. I don't get it...

"The Truth" is Sherrol Spence swung her purse all night with all her might , from round 1 -12 & tried to get the KO , but couldn't knock out , knock down or even hurt the much smaller Mikey Garcia.
If Mikey had the height , reach & weight advantages he would get the stoppage for sure , since we now know Mikey could take his power with no problem.

He tried but Garcias defence is pretty good, blocked most body punches and a lot of head punches landed on the glove. Garcia is a P4P fighter and mexican so the guy is gonna be tough as nails. Also didnt help the last few rounds he concentrated solely on surviving
Yea he wanted to make a statement that he didn't win because of size, he's been saying that for the last 2 months. I think a deal was made that Mikey doesn't get stopped, I could clearly see Spence stopping himself when he was landing at will and never really committed to stopping Mikey despite a lot of opportunities.
Like I said in some other thread, the fight was a complete waste of time and money for the fans, but let's hope it has risen Spence's stock enough for him to be a lucrative fight for the other guys at 147. Risk vs reward is kinda balanced a little bit now.
Looked like Spence was in sparring mode, I seen him go through fire from big dudes like Barrera, Chris van heerdan, and Kell brook to get the stoppage, but little Mikey wasn't throwing, he wasn't using lateral movement, wasn't excessively clinching and Spence seemed content just jabbing his face off and shooting straight lefts the body the whole night
