    I said I felt Spence was going to carry him which is exactly what happened.

    Why would he carry Mikey? He had nothing to gain by allowing Garcia to see the final bell. If anything, that just hurts his reputation. No one carried anyone here....

    Then how did canelo ko Khan and had ggg backing away in the rematch when canelo was pressing forward? You clearly don't know anything about boxing.

    Spence carried Garcia. Come on, its easy to see.

    One punch at a time, and the occassional one-two's.
    No power behind his punches.
    In the championship rounds he starts to finally throw combinations and they are all arm punches.
    Garcia was NO threat. Did not have the power, and did not even try to land punches.

    How is Spence who is a KO artist not going to try and get rid of Mikey when he's not putting up a fight, doesn't have power, and isn't being a defensive wizard?

    This fight smelled fishy since it was announced. Big act and both got career high paydays.

    What was the point in this fight really? Besides money? García was always going to be too small. Spence needs to fight one of the top welterweights to prove how good he really is. I know he beat Brook but that’s the fight after Brook had his face caved in by Golovkin.

    Garcia kept out of range for the most part, not hard to have seen that. Was to weary of Spence's power to stay close, or even engage like he normally would.

    I expected Mikey to negate the long jab often and have some explosive inside work a time or two.
    I also expected Spence to end this around 11 and make Mikey pay did not expect to see Spence Just auto cruising to a victory with not inflicting PAIN

    And Spence also stood out of range. Come on, spence throws one punch, or a one-two and backs away? Lol

    Backing away from Mikey's non-existent counters, power, and speed? Nope, he had none of that.

    Spence outclassed Mikey in every single department.

    Spence lands over FIFTY percent of his power punches and the natural lightweight is still standing?

    Spence carried Mikey and threw mostly arm punches the entire fight.

    thank you for the kind words of wisdom as to why a 36 year old past his prime GGG would be backing up in a fight! The good thing about that fight is we have a first fight to go off of? Glad you pointed that out btw did he back up in the first fight? So this would lead someone to guess maybe he was trying a different game plan in the second could it be???

    The ignorance is so high, that's too high for this dude to talk boxing at all.

    Great fighters KNOW how to last ALL 12 NO MATTER WHO THEY'RE FIGHTING if that's their goal, which or was

    MG realized by round 5 he literally had zero chance and only fought to survive

    My perspective requires analysis. Yours is the simple one. They sold you a staged fight and you're defedning it. Lol

    It went pretty much as I expected. Spence was too big for Mikey, Mikey had no pop at 140 much less at 147. I don't know why Mikey and his team took the fight unless it was just a money grab.
