    I picked Mikey to win or at least outbox Spence before he got knocked out . I expected Spence to be more stationary, and slower. I saw a different skill in him back foot ,headmovenent ,jab ,footwork, precision. He didnt bully Mikey he outboxed. With precision and athleticism. Its good to know he has those skills in case he moves up . I use to criticize him for being to stationary ,and just a bully but tonight he showed me he has other tools. I'm excited for him .

    I saw a guy beating a MUCH smaller opponent that was forced up two weight divisions. This win for Spence doesn’t mean much. It really doesn’t.


    Let’s see spence backup that **** talk about beating GGG! I’m excited for that! :) I mean earl was saying all that when people were speculating GGG retiring though... might not have really meant it :) But now that Gennady signed a new deal... DARE TO BE GREAT earl! Lol

    I take it that you didn't watch his fight with Lamont Peterson.

    I don't give Spence much credit for this fight.

    Spence seriously needs to fight a top WW.

    I saw the same things I saw in his previous few fights.

    This fight doesn't prove anything. His size was always going to be a problem for Garcia. I said many times Garcia didn't have a chance in the fight because of the size, speed and power, not to mention Garcia's speed loss from moving up in weight.

    When you fighting in an overmatched fight, his skills are magnified and distorted. He didn't show a good jab in this fight, despite the reach advantage. He's got good boxing skills, but he's lacking in a few areas.

    I agree I would like to see that if spence could do that. However I'm just impressed that he boxed his way to victory instead bullying him .seeing him slide and be the quicker guy .it was amazing

    I saw the same Spence the only thing that I saw different was Mikey was so slow and lacked power and speed at 147.

    It looks good when the other guy is out of his weight class, and lost his own timing and speed along with size and reach lol

    So make of it want you want.. Lol
