    First, I might just start sending you crazy amount messages of posters who was giving Rigo credit for moving up.

    Second, it was no win win for Rigo. He made that move out of desperation and Mikey made that move out of delusion

        Rigo made up an injury and quit. Mikey didn’t exactly throw caution to the wind but he didn’t quit either.

            I totally agree
            This fight went to the chits when he couldn’t reach him
            This fight was not about height or certainly not about bigger=power
            I leaned towards Mikey winning believing he could get in but once I saw he couldn’t he was done

            I like Spence but sorry he did not impress and certainly left me wondering

              Come on my man, he totally dismantled Mikey and hardly lost a second of the fight. You were picking Mikey and now that Spence dominates him it wasn't impressive? Huh?

                That has nothing to do with many not saying it was a win win for him before the fight.

                  Being a fan of both fighters , in my honest opinion ,if Mikey who I chose to win , couldn’t , then I believe Spence should of ko’d him
                  Your right , damn right , he totally destroyed him , as is Spence’s way , so why not Mikey ?
                  Being realistic, once they reached the sixth round , I totally believed my pick was wrong but also expected Spence to knock him out

                    Nah. Spence is skilled, no doubt, but he respected Mikey quite a bit. There’s good reason for that. If they were the same size, I’d probably have to go with Garcia. I predicted Errol would win, and I scored it a whitewash for him, but that size difference mattered.
                    Exactly. It’s not the same when Easter is throwing a jab as when a giant big punching WW is throwing cannons and he can t off in you while you’re too small to do anything about it and when you do land, it doesnt even change the trajectory of the guys punches.


                    It’s like small arms fire to a tank. Its the combination of it all. Spence is good enough to use and exploit those attributes.

                    A man vs a child essentially. Spence had this success BECAUSE of his size and strength. Mikey seemed to see the punches fine. There was just literally nothing he could do about it.

                      I agree. Spence showed that he was the more skilled, scientific and fundamentally sound of the two fighters; Than the previously undefeated and four divisional champion Mikey Garcia. I was overly impressed by how easily Erroll Spence outclassed and dominated Mikey in the manner in which he did from start to finish.
