    Evidently, Power was barely a factor for the first couple of rounds

      If Mikey was legit 147 would he beat Spence?....... Hell no, he'd be bobbing, ducking and weaving just like the rest of them!

        Spences reach was a huge factor in the fight. Keeping a consistent jab early and throwing the left to the body was the perfect gameplan early on. Kept him from getting off early and it took a lot out of Mikey I'm sure.

        Not saying Mikey would win, but it would've obviously been a different fight. With that said that will never happen, Mikey should move back down for now.

        Mikey could've sought a fight in which he didnt give up so many disadvantages or tried to do a catch weight like other people but he didnt. He lost and now I'd like to see where his career goes from here.

          Spences movement and counter boxing beat Mikey at every turn, size wasnt the factor boxing skills was.

            I figure a lighter spence would throw even more punches then the 1000+ that he did. So same result Spence's activity nullified mikeys offense to pot shotting occasionally.

              Absolutely. Mikey was exposed at the top level.
