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

[R.KHLMS4LIFE]

Spence gets zero credit in my book Spence is like 20lbs heavier 3 inches taller 4 inch reach advantage I hope you can outbox n overpower someone that's flats footed doesn't look fast at 147 and only came to survive

Now all the g a y boys will be screaming "Spence gets zero credit for beating a small guy!" Wah wah wah. Spence made millions on Mikey's miscalculation. Let me tell you Mikey had ZERO ring generalship while Spence OWNED the ring. Hard to KO a guy that is just defensive minded. The number of punches landed tells the story. Hey fanboys who thing Spence sucks, GFYS. You know s h i t about boxing you casual fks. Thats talent. Spence beats Crawford.

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.

Something to be said for that I guess. If you look at the way Duran went at Leonard in their first fight (giving up 3 inches to Leonard and also coming up in weight like Garcia did), then compare to what Mikey did vs Spence, there was a world of difference. Noone ever equated Garcia to Duran, but Duran showed why he was a P4P fighter in that fight - no way he was going to coast to a loss, if he was going to lose it would have been on his shield or to a better performance from Leonard (second fight different as Duran got way out of shape in the 5 months between the two fights and was in no condition for it second time out).

I think if Garcia won a few rounds and made it hard for Spence, and then went out on his shield late fight while showing that he was trying whatever he could to win, then that would be one thing, but to basically just stand there and be outclassed over 12 while celebrating the end of each round with a fist pump that basically said 'survived another one' - then that's another thing.

For sure - a lot of people expected more from Garcia, even if they expected him to lose.

What did Mikey think was going to happen? He comes in 10 pounds overweight with a guy who can barely make the weight. Mikey was dragging his fat self around, plodding and standing in front of Spence, sitting duck style. Does anybody think Thurman or Crawford are going to pose like that?

You're not a fan you're a punk a s s. Boxing fan my ass. Mikey tried and Spence did what he does. Spence beats Crawford. Crawford has fought s h i t his whole career.

I think both fighters enhanced themselves .

Mikey is a boxer , especially at a higher weight.
He tried tp find his spots , but errol could take his punch and errol to his credit showed he could box and control distance and most importantly control his discipline to keep the game plan .

Mikey has just made himself some good fights out there.

The fans are gonna wanna see him vs crawford ,thurman and danny garcia and Maybe even pacman .

Errol has plenty of fights , now thurman crawford and danny garcia and pacman gotta decide whether or not they want that smoke .

Errol has the option to move up and fight the charlos and even canelo down the line. Errol vs canelo at 160 in 2 years on cinco de mayo in texas would be huge .

By then errol could win twice more at 147 and twice at 154 and move to 160 in a one time step up in weight and go for the p4p title vs canelo. He could come in at 158.2 and give canelo a hell of a run for his money.

Now Garcia knows the TRUTH.

[yoshik]

It was a one sided beat down! Garcia did nothing and I refuse to give him credit for only trying to survive! Give him credit for taking the fight but he didn't put up one. Where was Garcia's timing, ring IQ, intelligence, and speed he talked about? Garcia looked like a slow flabby gate keeper.

Spence negated all of that

[yoshik]

Spence gets zero credit for beating a small guy. Zero credit!

Really Mr boxing expert? Did someone piss in your fruit loops today? You a Mikey Fanboy or just a hater? What did you say when Hearns blew out Duran? A much bigger size disparity. Oh, you didn't see that one? You're probably just a baby.

as I've said over and over, I like both fighters equally in and out of the ring. I hated that this fight was made because no one in their right mind knew Garcia had a chance at winning. I hope those millions were worth it because I honestly don't think he'll ever be the same after last night. This was a fight that didn't need to happen. He could have cleaned out 140 or even had that big fight with Lomachenko at 135. Sadly, now I think Lomachenko ends what's left of him. This fight was just unnecessary and I'm upset that his people didn't talk him out of it. Mikey's balls were too big for his brain. He's got a chin because Spence hits HARD, but he was hurt in ways last night that all of you will see later on.

I don't think Canelo will comfortably make 160 in 2 years. Anything's possible though. I'd love to see Spence vs Hurd. That's fireworks becuase we know Hurd is gonna take 4 or 5 punches just to land his own.
