Spence outboxed Mikey, but I don’t think he proved he was the better technical fighter. He controlled the fight with his jab from the opening bell. But it was moreso due to his length and quickness than anything he was doing technically. Mikey was trying time it. But Spence didn’t haven’t to put himself in harm’s way to land the damn thing.
I also don’t buy that Spence chose a prolonged beatdown over getting Mikey outta there. He stepped on the gas, and there were several rounds where he battered Mikey. He also let his hands go and opened himself up to the little bit of offensive success that Mikey had. Mikey’s just extremely tough.
