    Spence landed 350 punches in 12 rounds, it isn't that good.

    Mikey is tough he took some big shots and never really looked like going down.

    9-3 Spence. Good showing by Spence. His defense has improved. Mikey could've had more success, but he kept waiting for the perfect opening while Spence just kept tagging him and racking up points.

    119-109 Spence

    I want to give Spence credit for using an intelligent jab and winning the first half purely by boxing. But on the other hand, despite landing many hard shots, he had a hard time landing anything that Mikey didn't see coming. With Spences output and Mikeys lack of counters I'm not sure how impressive that really is.

    One round Mikey, by virtue of the fact Spence took the second round off. As one-sided a fight between two elite fighters as I can remember. Mikey Garcia has no business at 147 - so much so I would not watch the fight if he fights there again.

    Spence didn't carry ****, he went for the KO for the last half of the fight and couldn't get it, because he couldn't land clean with anything that could hurt Mikey, yeah that's what I call good defense.

    It must have been the same broadcast I was watching because he wouldn't STFU deep throating Spence all night and there was no mention of the size disadvantage which was a massive factor.

    Not sure about Mikey going back down to 135, 140 is tough. I don't think even after Mikey making it through the 12 rounds would Thurman/Porter/Garcia want to get in the ring with Spence.

    Garcia let all Mexican fans down tonight. He won't be allowed to show his face around his town no more.
