    The reach advantage was the biggest factor. Spence used it perfectly.

      Garcia literally just beat Easter, who has a huge size advantage on him. In terms of reach and height, BUT Easter was not skillful enough to use it to his advantage despite him trying to.

        At least Mikey moved up in weight and showed heart unlike ggg. Great fight for the American crowd tonight I’m sure Dallas enjoyed this.

That’s not how fighters evaluate attempts. Easter is not Spence. Stop generalizing reach and P4P comparison. Spence is a superior boxer to Easter. Completely different footwork
          Thanks for making my point.

            mikey barely threw, looked slower than usual (hand and feet), and just stood there and let spence wail away at him. looked like mikey just came to survive and collect the check. nothing to do with skill.

              I said that García would win by K.O

              But you are right, he showed a great level of skills

              Props to him

                  Don't remember thread like this being made after Loma/Rigo. Maybe becayse the size was the bigger factor there

                    Roberto Duran told Mikey that Spence didn’t have a jab lol I’m sure Spence got wind of it because he jabbed Mikey face off. Thank Roberto
