This past Saturday night, Errol Spence returned to the ring to successfully defend his International Boxing Federation (IBF) and World Boxing Council (WBC) welterweight titles at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Spence won a twelve round unanimous decision over former two division champion Danny Garcia.
ARLINGTON, Texas – Danny Garcia doesn’t think there’s a whole lot that separates the three opponents who’ve beaten him. The former junior welterweight and welterweight champ considers Errol Spence Jr. stronger than Keith Thurman and Shawn Porter, yet otherwise thinks they’re comparable boxers. Spence dealt Garcia the most decisive defeat of his 13-year pro career Saturday night, a 12-round, unanimous-decision loss in their FOX Sports Pay-Per-View main event at AT&T Stadium.
It had to be seen to find out. Coming off his auto accident in 2019, would Errol Spence still be Errol Spence? After twelve rounds, we had an answer. It may not have been his career best outing but it was more than enough to hand Danny Garcia his worst official defeat. Pressuring, guarding well, working the body, and marking up the face of the challenger, we end the weekend where we’ve seemingly been for a couple years now.
