    Say what you want about Mikey Garcia but...

    He came up from 135lbs, Spence, the best rated welterweight in his prime, had a 10-KO streak going and Mikey didn't even go down or was ever actually hurt from any punch landed.

    "Surviving" might not mean much to many armchair experts but it is in fact a big deal that a lightweight was able to come up two weight classes, lose every single round, had 1000+ punches thrown at him, an he never was even close to going down.

    Mikey's stock dropped slightly, but once the smoke clears and Mikey goes down to 140 and dominates, his stock will rise back up. JMM suffered a similar loss to Mayweather and he went down to 140 to get a few wins then KO'ed Pacquiao as the underdog 3 years later and I also thought he beat Bradley, outlanding him in power punches in 9 out of 12 rounds.

    There are no moral victories in boxing. Anybody with a lot of experience can survive if thats their only goal. And comparing Garcia to Marquez is dumb. They are two different calibre of fighters.

          "Clearly", in a split decision loss where he outlanded Bradley in meaningful/power punches landed in 9 out of 12 rounds.

          Bradley raising his hand in the air after the end of every round was a nice little psychological tactic but it only worked on weak minds. Marquez landed the better punches in more rounds than Bradley.

          JMM was robbed.

              Had he not been so vocally confident with the outcome.
              Had he not stunk up the place with that beyond shltty performance

              He deserves no accolades

                I knew this was a mismatch (picked Spence via ko) so I had the air freshener ready.

                  Spence was right though. His ignorance and his team’s ignorance is the reason they ****** that bad.

                    I know you did but I was one of the dummy’s who thought he would give a good account of himself.
