If Mikey had quit tonight there would have been no positive comments, no “win” for him and that is a fact

Originally posted by KTFOKING View PostI mean the main reason he couldn't stop him was because Mikey just wouldn't throw and was just covering up and he's good and skilled enough to make Spence miss just enough to see the full 12 rounds. If Spence put the type of pressure he put on from the 9th-11th rounds earlier, then he probably does score a stoppage but he was just out boxing him round after round.
Casually break him down and go for the ko in the latter rounds
Just didn’t see that animal instinct on Spence
Would rather he got the ko

It’s like small arms fire to a tank. Its the combination of it all. Spence is good enough to use and exploit those attributes.
A man vs a child essentially. Spence had this success BECAUSE of his size and strength. Mikey seemed to see the punches fine. There was just literally nothing he could do about it.

Originally posted by ELPacman View PostMikey didn't know what to do to stop the jab. The jab killed him. It let Spence set up everything. I'm honestly shocked that he couldn't find a way to make an adjustment against the jab. He did look really basic in there. Too basic despite having the disadvantages. Expected a little more out of him.
Oh well, it was still a decent fight. We also had like 4 KO undercard fights
I'd really like to see Pac have a go at Spence if he wants it. Pacquiao use to annihilate southpaws. The question is, does Pac really want that smoke at his advanced age?

Size wasn't the decisive factor tonight. Mikey just fought all wrong.
Every time he got inside he immediately moved back outside, into Spence's range. It was really frustrating to watch. He'd get into the right distance and then, for no reason, reset into the wrong range.
His strategy was all wrong. He kept trying to hit Spence, after Spence had already thrown and returned. It failed over and over, yet he kept trying it.
He failed to adapt. He let Spence control the distance, and also the lateral movement.
I'm not saying size had nothing to do with it. But the main difference I saw tonight was in skill.

Make it much more competitive fight and hey who knows , maybe Pac can pull one out of his azz
That would be a great way to retire

Originally posted by CubanGuyNYC View PostIn the end, it was probably the right approach. Spence didn’t take a single risk. He didn’t have to. Once he was certain he could safely open up, he did. Garcia never stood a chance. Errol was beating him up at will for a good 4-5 rounds. He pushed for the KO here and there, but didn’t see the need to leave himself exposed for a second. I can’t disagree.
I enjoyed the fight much more than some recent fights
Just a little disappointed that Spence knew he couldn’t get hurt , so go for the fughin knockout
Take those extra five shots and attempt to ko him
That’s what the majority of fans said would happen
So why not go for it , makes me wonder when he’ll fight another skilled fighter who can hit him and with the power needed to hurt him
What I’m saying is what will Spence do when adversity hits
