Spence is a Better Boxer than Garcia.

One thing I haven't seen enough discussion about is how Spence outboxed Garcia. If you really look at it you can see...that was a very Mayweather like performance.

I was impressed, since I thought he was being outboxed by Brook early on. Granted he had a nice reach advantage in there, but hey, Floyd has the exact same reach. Both 72".


That was very impressive. How long before his trainer stops blabbing so much in the corner and just begins slurring "Keep doing what you're doing" over and over again?

Mikey was never a quick fighter, but his weight gain made him a sloth. If that version of Mikey fought Lomachenko, Lomachenko would cruise to an easy UD just like Spence. Yeah Spence looked good, but you also have to factor in how horrible Mikey looked. Still waiting for Crawford and Spence to have definitive wins against one of the other top Welters before I jump on board. When Crawford beats a highlight KO to happen in Khan, and Spence fights geriatric part time fighter Pacman, still doesn't prove anything.

That's what stops me as well. Crawford is on the other side of 30. Spence is nearly early, same age as Canelo!

Their CVs are absolutely not enough given their undeniable talent. Protecting your 0 does not build a legacy necessarily.

Yes you did! Right on the money. Much respect!

Pretty much...he used his significant height/reach advantage well. Mikey was struggling to get past spence’s front foot and jab.

Size help you to outbox fighters.

Rigo didn't land a glove on Loma and I believe he's as good as a master boxer as Loma.

Garcia has no business at 147 he doesn't have the speed of Floyd or PAC to make it competitive Vs elite.


Those natural 147 dudes are ripped supermiddleweight on fight night.

I always felt Mikey was a bit overrated.. Whos his best win. Not saying he's not good but people kept claiming he was some super duper boxer.

It showed last night vs a very good fighter. Of course size made a difference but did he even land one significant punch? Did he counter one jab?

He looked lost as hell.in the ring. Spence showed great boxing skills. Kept his composure and fought a perfect gameplan.

I dont think you understand what boxing is if you think he outboxed Garcia, he used his physical advantages to keep Garcia on the outside, he didn't breakdown his style, make him miss or catch em with clean counters that made his head horizontal. All in all it was a very basic performance against a smaller guy. Elevate your standards or your knowledge about boxing.
