You are saying mikey had no plan B and was perfectly fine with losing 12 rounds to a guy who couldnt hurt him simply because he was out of range.
Not true. Mikey could have tried to get in range but that takes risk and he refused to take those chances because of spence's power.
I’ll take his point over yours. Spence’s “power” was a belief and also a fear for Mikey going into the fight. It just turned out that Mikey realized that the “power” is not good enough after the fight and it was too late already.
He thought Spence is gonna walk him down and break him down. Didn’t happen. Spence boxed him 12 rnds Mikey didn’t expect that.
Man I don't Hate any Fighter but I'm really starting to dislike Garcia.
Just take your loss like a man and stfu about power when he had you worried for 12 rounds not to exchange.
Ggrrrll hope this doesn't turn into hate..
I have a hard time believeing that Spence doesn't punch as hard or harder than Lipinets, but lets consider this. Garcia was moving up to 147 pounds for the first time against Spence. Against Lipinets it was his second go at 140 pounds. The jump from 135 to 147 is much bigger than lightweight to junior welterweight which is just five pounds. Garcia was essentially moving up 12 pounds to fight Spence. But it's not an easy jump even if you're talking single digit weight jumps.
Alex Ariza put it best, the body is like the vehicle and the fighter mind is the driver. The team around the fighter has to work on getting the vehicle ready to go at its maximum capacity. What happened to Garcia wasn't that Spence necessarily hit so hard, but rather it was an indication that the driver was there but he simply couldn't get the much bigger vehicle what he wanted it to do. Garcia had no business at 147 in retrospect at least not that soon and let alone against the boogeyman of the division. It was admirable, but definitely a tough task to overcome.
Spence is the hardest puncher of all the welterweights with a great 85% KO ratio and he KOed the last ten guys he fought before Mikey including Algeiri and Bundu who had never been KOed.
Mikey shouldn’t be able to say Spence’s name in public without permission. Mikey had his manhood taken then has the audacity to throw shade? Mikey, you’re classier than that.
