Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: Spence is The Truth, I Couldn't Get Rhythm Going

[TreJac]

Garcia is a great fighter and P4P top guy, the fact Spence completely dominated him shouldn’t be a knock on Garcia but rather a praise of how good Spence is.

I can only hope this fight elevates Spence and allows him to carry the sport like Mayweather before him.

Maybe next time he fights atCowboy stadium against say Crawford, the stadium will be filled with his supporters.

I'm not going to give Garcia credit for coming into a fight only to survive to the last bell! Top p4p guys don't do that. Garcia has been picking on the smaller fighters at 135 and people want to credit him for that! This is the first time in Mikey's career he faced an elite fighter. Beating Broner, Liponet, Zlaticanin, and Easter doesn't make you a top p4p fighter.

Victor Conte is the best in the world doe

He must have been passing out sugar pills this time. I can see him now. Have a Tootsie Roll Mikey, you got room.

Whos mikey ever beat?

The question suggest no matter what I tell you, you’re gonna be dismissive, so I’ll concede that we will disagree as to whether Mickey is a great fighter or not.

I think he is, you don’t.

Say what you will about Mikey's courage, but he didn't make this even remotely competitive. It was arrogant of him to call out Spence and he paid for it by being schooled like a novice. And yet everyone is just focusing on how brave he is. Being an elite fighter you need to show more than bravery. But since we all like Mikey we will set a lower bar for him. Imagine GGG moved up to LHW and be dominated like this - he'd be crucified. But with Mikey we are supposed to just pretend how positive we all are to Mikey and how he deserves all the credit for trying. What is he a 2-0 novice? At this level you are expected to deliver results, not attempts. He hasn't won a single round...wow. His stock should go down, Spence's stock shouldn't even go up. He barely broke the sweat there for god sake.

This fight should of never happen. Enjoy the L mikey

Why shouldn’t it had happen? Guys dare to be great is it something wrong with that? Was it a problem when manny went from 135 to 147 to be great and cement his legacy in the sport?

So being undefeated being champ, beating guys at or around your division, being on many analysts top P4P list and being one of the top guys in your division don’t count for anything.

Okay got it!

What do you know?

Give him credit he went the distance

I'm not going to give Garcia credit for coming into a fight only to survive to the last bell! Top p4p guys don't do that which Mikey is not.

Gtfoh. He showed he was the better overall boxer. He didn't bully Mikey, he out boxed him. That deserves credit

He beat a small sloth who was a standing target. Aint impressed.
I agree with some of here Spence doesnt deserve much credit for this win. i give him credit for his W with Brook at UK.

Good post. Garcia has never beat the #1 fighter in any division he has ever campaigned. He is very much a cherry picker and a product of Top Rank's matchmaking until they wanted him to fight Gamboa which got him scared and he started showing his ass trying to break his contract.
