Spence is a Better Boxer than Garcia.

[Combat Talk Radio]

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.

"Make him miss" is exactly what Spence did. All night long except one round. He even pulled a Floyd shoulder roll counter at one point - sloppy, but pulled it off.

4 of his last 6 fights have been 140 or above.

Look who he was fighting though and he didnt even look all that at 140. Elio Rojas zlaticanin broner who hasn't won a fight like 2 years and even that fight was controversial vs granados in 2017 n lipinets. Hes not like floyd who is blazing fast and long and has a long as reach or like pac who is super fast and has power and uses great angles to go up against bigger fighters. Mikey was getting hit and had to work when he faces opponents like broner lipinetz n even Robert Easter. Theres a reason why alot of people were calling this a mismatch when it was first announced. **** mikey was still making 135 and his last fight b4 this was at 135 and hes not a big guy for that weight either. Theres no excuses I was saying Spence gonna win also it's what was expected.

If you've grown into 140 lbs then 140 lbs is your division now. It dosen't matter what happened 10 years ago. People grow out of their division. Mikey can't make 126 or 130 lbs anymore. He's a 135-140 lber now.

Mikey has not grown into 140 since he fought his last fight at 135.

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?

Well, he fought a smaller guy who moved up TWO weigh classes. The phuck you expect.

[BillyBoxing]

Spence moving up to 168 is not even remotely comparable to Mikey moving up 7lbs from 140. Fair comparison would be Errol moving up to 154 and fight huge super WWs like Hurd or Munguia.

Nah, Mikey last fight was at 135 so he gained, moved up 12 pounds.

So fair comparison would be Spence fighting Jacobs or Nelo next.

But what I said is Spence ending up at 168 is like Mikey ending up at 147 after moving up in 4 years from 126, 130....

Spence will never move up 21 pounds like Mikey, he is willing PAC next....

Wrong, if fought twice at 140 and that's it.

Wrong Billy. His debut fight after the hiatus was above 135 making it junior welter.

[sargo]

Can't ignore the reach and power advantage when comparing skills.

[SplitSecond]

He's a better boxer than garcia when garcia has no legs under him to move with and slow arms to counter with, sure.

Whatever,

It was meh just like rigo Vs Loma and Floyd Vs Mquez.

Dudes were outsized and bullied around
