    Easter is taller and longer than Spence. If height and reach were the only reason Mikey lost, then why didn't the same happen when he fought Easter?

      How can Mikey and his fans compete? Spence and his fans are just Bigger, Better, Faster, Stronger, Longer. Sad really.

          Robert Garcia’s not having a good year with his fighters. I used to respect him but heck with that trick. I could go to the circus for the next act. Robert has the wrong motives. Wonder if he ever trained black fighters?

            As if Easter is anywhere near as big as Spence. He's tall, and lanky, that's it, he doesn't have good power, and he's not as strong. There's a reason why he's at 135 despite being 5'11. Easter is gonna get destroyed at 140 or at 147.

            Stop with the excuses, Spence can't stop a lightweight the way Loma, Golovkin, and Canelo destroyed their own lightweights and welterweights, because Spence is a level below them.

                "Whichever way you looked at it Spence was the better man. To just say he was the bigger man is simply lazy...To say the champion won courtesy of his size is to ignore his speed, timing, distance, strategy, shot selection and skills. It’s to detract from him as a fighter, which should not be done. Spence belongs at the top end of your pound for pound lists."

                FACTS! Well said!

                  Where's the boogeyman power we're always hearing about from the fanatics? Was it taking the night off? And contary to the "chess not checkers" narrative I've seen spun one too many times on youtube, it is glaringly obvious by the increasingly heated flurries toward closing time that Spence *was* seeking the KO 100% and simply coming up short. As a natural MW comfortable in his weight bully racket and on his home turf...against a first time welter not exactly known for his granite Golovkin chin, who had to forge a devil's snac pact with Victor Conte to inflate himself to an awkward, slow, watery 147. That's arguably *regression* from the late stoppage of true blue (albeit shopworn) welter Brook who has the distinction of being the Spence's first opponent to not moonlight at Home Depot, but hey, whatevs. I mean, I understand it,.I really do. Since even a Gabe Rosado gives this pillow-fisted weight bully hype job a headache at his true home, he should definitely ride this train until the wheels fall off.

                    Im not sure mikey is a top 20 welter based on last night. Its rare a fighter gets completely shut out, even a bum usually wins 1 or 2 rounds. He looked like dog****.

                      Spence did what was expected. If Garcia had won, it probably goes down as one of the biggest upsets in boxing history.
                      Spence fought well and dominated from the opening bell, but I don't think any of the top WW's were intimidated by his performance.
