    I keep reading that Baranchyk pulled out the WBSS! His people said ignore all the reports, that Baranchyk is definitely out!

      wat a crap ppv fight....both had the nerve to say they put on a "great performance"...Spence was too careful the majority of the fight and content to jab jab and fight from a distance against a smaller fighter who didnt seem to have the power to even bother him. Garcia seemed clueless from the opening bell....all defense and almost no offense...he looked ridiculous pumping his fist at the end rds as if he was winning. if he was not going to fight TO WIN, he should have never called Spence out!!! its a shame - Garcia got his big fight/payday and seemed content to take the "L".

        The Garcia team has always been about chasing the smoke. Ribery Garcia faced a killer in Diego corales. At 22 yrs old, Fernando vargas chased another killer in Trinidad. And Mikey chased the most avoided fighter at 147 in spence. They all came up short but being willing to take the chance and fighting valiently in a loss deserves more credit than a win vs cherry picked opponents or getting a win from the judges that you didn't deserve. So props to him.

          He scared. Doesn't matter this tournament was always about Prograis vs Taylor.

            Boy I was fooled by Mikey saying he seen something In Spence . The only thing he seen was left's and right's pounding his face. I guess the only fight out there for Spence is Crawford Pacquio will just get knock out between 5 to 8 rounds

              Spence had to be careful because he felt Mikey's power just like Broner felt Mikey's power.

                Even though Mikey got outboxed and beaten up from rd1 to rd12, he still managed to show a few things. He has a great chin even at welterweight and the tight defense he showed prevented Spence from landing everything flush the way he wanted to.

                He's definitely better off at 140. 135 as well- if he can still make it.

                Hopefully them not stopping the fight won't end up being a mistake. We still need him fresh for all the other possible, much more competitive matchups.

                  Spence couldn’t put him down. He wasn’t too careful. Garcia showed he atleast has a granite chin.

                      Maybe he should have been a brawler all along with that chin.
