    Take it easy bruh, Garcia lost and Spence won, debating a couple of close rounds isn't going to change the outcome.

    I'm merely pointing out that Spence has a couple of holes in his game, that's it. Dude was getting tagged with those right hands.

      I thought he protected his face very well honestly. Spence is very good at blocking shots I was most impressed by it. I feel like dodging punches is easier than blocking.

      Danny landed a lot of body shots though, I thought his straight right to the solar plexus was awesome but he didn't do it often enough because he was trying to catch Spence with a KO shot instead of trying to break him down and slow him down.

      A small change in mentality could have changed the fight for him.

      Still, Danny dropped the ball big. This was the most vulnerable version of Spence there has ever been. His timing was off, his stamina wasn't umlimited like it usually seems to be, he even admitted he got tired middle rounds, and he looked slower than usual.

      Danny could have broken down this version of Spence if he had just changed his approach from one punch KO seeking to breaking down and stopping the opponent.

      He will never get a chance to beat Spence now even if they rematch.

        I found myself wondering if Danny could somehow make 140 again. He's not good enough to beat the top guys at 147 and as long as they're there, he's just a perennial contender.
