Spence going 12 rounds with lighweight Mikey Garcia was embarassing

    it showed how overrated Spence is/was.

    He was supposed to be a "killer".

    He went 12 rounds and was never close to hurting Mikey Garcia who was a fat lightweight moving up 2 weight classes.

    If that were Crawford, Bud brutually stops him inside 6 rounds.

    Errol looked horrible.

    Yeah maybe but pretty early on Mikey decided to go into survival mode.

    Mikey is a legit champion level fighter just seemed like he lost steam and momentum in his career so opted to forget weight cuts and go for the money and leave...

    He won every round against a guy who refused to engage.

    And he looked good against Ugas. I’m still not sure what he has left and favor Crawford, but the Garcia fight is a non-issue.

    Not only that but he couldn't even put a dent in mikey, guy didn't have a scratch on his face afterwards. In fact I'd even say sandor martin beat him up more.

    Spence, the guy who is apparently, by some accounts, here and other places, is good enough to beat Canelo at 160 or higher, but can’t stop a blown up lightweight at 147. :risas3:

    Bud will stop Spence and all the PBC fans will be shot down.

    Only US can hype a guy who is one weight champion, and say that he is P4P #1, when we have guys 2-3 weight champions, challenging bigger, better and stronger opponents.

    Why Beterbiev don't have at least 50% of hype when he has 100% KO ratio ?

    Bud couldn't stop Spence if his wife depended on it.

    Golovkin was heavily criticized for walking through Brook and knocking him out early, but Spence going 12 in a similar situation is a good win apparently.

    The same people hyping up Spence, spent years tearing down Golovkin for fighting at 160 forever.

    Yup. That’s when I started doubting Spence. Mikey is one of my favorite fighters, but there was absolutely no reason for that fight to go 12.

    Spencer has never been imo viewed as a killer

    In fact his KO ratio is laughable but as mentioned above, a combination of Garcia going in to survival mode and him having a solid chin ensured it went 12

    Spence did everything else correctly

    Fight should never been signed anyway

    He got hurt against Ugas. If Ugas pursued it, we would be watching Ugas vs Crawford.

    If Spence gets stunned and loses his bearings like he did when Ugas caught him, Crawford closes the show and wins by knock out.
