How much credit do you give Spence for beating Mikey Garcia?

Straight up mismatch. Made worse by going the distance. Even worser since he didn't even try for the KO.
He won every round easily so there's that.

He would make Mikey miss and counter him and get out of range before Mikey was able to respond.
LIS, impressive performance but just a solid win. Can't be a great win because Mikey hasn't proven it at WW yet. This win could end up looking better if Mikey was able to do some damage at WW.
I said I give him a lot of credit for the win, but I agree, it isn’t a great win at all.

A solid amount. I could just do what the folks who picked Rigo vs. Loma via dominant win and give no credit but even though I picked Spence by easy KO he impressed with how much his skill befuddled Mikey though. He didn’t score the stoppage like GGG did vs. Brook or force him to quit like Loma did to Rigo but he gets decent credit but it’s not a great win just a great name.
The same folks crying about a lack of credit are the ones who gave Loma none for Rigo and even a lot of them picked Rigo. I’ve also seen a lot of the folks who gave Loma a ton of credit are giving Spence none probably in retaliation?
