    He also KD or hurt all of them (except Broner, who went into the fight to last the distance).

    He's 5'9 Bro. Even Jarret Hurd and Mungia ONE weight class north are 6-1 (and I might add I think he'd beat either of them.

    Rigondeaux was a 38 y/o (officially) 5'3 blown up bantamweight who came into the ring at 122 right where he weighed in 36 hours earlier. Lomachenko was (officially) 10 years younger. And Garcia ASKED FOR the fight. Rigo actually TURNED DOWN the fight at 126 because he knew his limits, he took the fight because he was frozen out by ALL of the other big money players, LSC, Frampton, Quigg, etc. all said "pass." Compound this with the fact that he had not fought a real contender in FOUR YEARS and there is not comparison between what happened that night and what happened tonight.

    None.

    Now I don't fault Chenko for taking an easy, Big Money fight nor do I fault Spence, but Garcia had plenty of options, Rigo didn't.

    It’s alright mate it’s not like you was obnoxious or anything like that it was just a friendly wager and I respect your analytical break downs of fight’s we don’t get enough of that on this forum haha.

    Oh and one more thing

    No ****ing Paquiao-Spence. That is a mismatch, Manny did land a shot against 5-6 Broner until the 5th round, he is washed up, and he hasn't even perfected his fake nice-guy routine yet.

    Spence isn't great, but he's very good, and he would kill a washed-up old man.

    Garcia said that he sparred with manny when he was just getting started and Manny was in his prime and Bob Arum asked if he should put Manny in with Valero.
    Garcia said "nope."

    Bob Arum said "ok, how about Guzman."

    Garcia said, "Nope." Garcia had spared with all three. That was 10 years ago. That's all you need to know.

    even then, its still a very classy move, and i am humbled. i have a rep for being abrasive and sometimes a bully, so plenty of people would love to see me taken down a peg. but i only try to give better than i get. i tip my hat to you.

    Garcia also said he would beat spence so excuse me if I don’t take his word is gospel especially today.

    That’s not me saying a 41 year old manny would beat spence either just pointing out the flaw in your logic.

    If size matters, how come Mikey beat up Robert Easter? Easter had a longer height and reach. Garcia beat Easter on skill.

    Mayweather beat most big guys he fought on skill! Hopkins beat Tarver on skill.

    Poor decision from Mikeys team to take that fight. Was plenty of fights in his own division. Usual a good big guy beats a good small guy scenario.

    On a side note that atmosphere was dry. Particularly in the main event.

    Not sure where Mike goes from here as not sure he will get back down to fight Lima now.

    I watched the fight without commentary and had it 117-111. I imagine Fox were guzzling Spence all night which makes a difference to a lot of viewers score cards.
