How do i explain Mikey Garcia's poor performance to my son?

[HitmanTommy]

Now before anyone goes bashing, he's just a kid. He's an avid boxing fan and Mikey is his favorite fighter. He got a chance to meet him a few months ago and got his autograph. My son told him that he was his biggest boxing fan and to give it everything he had against spence. He told my boy that he would knock him out, so obviously my son was excited.

The big day finally arrived, so we sat by the tv and after the 3rd round, my son kept asking what was he waiting for. By the 6th or 7th, he asked me why he kepr celebrating after the end of each round.

After the 11th, my son said his plan all along was for Mikey to conserve his energy for the last round and unleash an absolutely furious attack on Spence that would catch him off guard....

But when the round was over, he immediately got up, went to his room and shut the door. He didn't even wait for the scorecards.

He has been depressed since the fight saying that Mikey lied to him and wasn't upset that he didn't knock him out, but hes depressed about him lying when he said he would give it everything he had.

What should I tell my son?

Lmao. Great trolling. Up there with the legendary “my grandad thinks so and so is overrated” threads.

Tell War Mikey that spence was just too big

If he inherited your down syndrome, then you're best off keeping it simple and explaining that's what happens when you jump 2 weight classes to fight the best of the division. You may not understand it, but he might.

I've already explained about him jumping two weight classes so he's naturally smaller, but he said it's more about the fact that Mikey lied to him and said he would give it his all and knock him out, but instead he didn't do anything at all.

You mean like your lying to us right now about not trolling. Lead by example..

tell your son the truth, mikey is a good fighter, not great thus the one sided, 12 -0 round schooling he took from spence

Be honest and tell him that Garcia whored himself for money in a fight he knew he couldn't win. Better yet he didn't even try to win. Now he's sitting on the purse planning another 2 year hiatus while he puts on exhibitions like a 40+ Mayweather.
