Weight didnt play a factor in this fight imo
Mikey didnt even seem bothered by spences power.

There was a clear difference in skill level here
I gotta disagree breh. Mickey was not acclimatised to the weight and he wasn't moving like he comfortably does. And the shots I think were getting to him but mikey is defensively sound so he parried a good amount of em. I agree that skill was definitely a big factor and people were sleeping on spence but Mikey just doesn't fit at 147 tbh

I think the goes down the same exact way at 140
Mayb mikey wins a round or so but spence would have all the same advantages.
The reach was givin him a lot of trouble .and once spence showed off his boxing skills, he pretty much quit halfway through the fight


140-147 isnt dat big of a jump

Man chill with that shyt res is cool. Golden boy ain't shyt though
Chill? nikka, this dude came in here comparing an entity whom have racists (toward blacks) emails to a nikka like Haymon whom treats all his people great. Which is why he is praised by multiple ethnic groups. Only an anti black would promote such nonsense.
Stop caping

I know I was clowning Garcia last night, but he showed a hell of a chin. I would have personally stopped the fight after 6 rounds, as nothing was going to change.

@patscorpio

I know you brought up that Garcia has been dropped by lighter punchers, but you gotta keep in mind that a lot of these guys kill themselves to make weight at the lower weight classes. Garcia has been much sturdier as he moved up.

There are NO shortcuts in boxing. He needs to go back to lightweight, and eventually work up to a megafight with Loma. After that fight, win or lose, he can finish his career at 140.

I do think he can fight at 147 if he got properly acclimated to the weight and had the right opponent. He lost to Errol Spence, who dominates everyone, so no shame in that.

Mikey was outclassed, but he you could definitely see his skills in there, and why he's so good.

Breh that 10 cm reach advantage is no joke. Spence is a big guy. Wonder where his limit is at... MW?

You CAC, right?
I'm European and white as everyone who often posts in the Ring knows
Where am I wrong though?

I don't see a whole lot of fighters mistreated these days let them be any color. The competition is sharp and they can get all time high payments from any direction. We are living in an age where dudes like Andrade, Lara, Fury, guys from 115lbs and in general almost anyone who worths his salt is eating.

Don't try to spin this into some moral victory bullshyt, he got his ass whooped from beginning to end and never had a shot. There's no skill in getting tagged all night. I think Spence let him survive just so he could show off more of his boxing skills.

You're wrong for acting like race isn't a factor with golden boy, when they're proven racists.
You're wrong for acting like race IS a factor in boxers love for Haymon, when he's praised by boxers outside of his ethnicity as well.
You're wrong for using the fighters u just named that all are not on golden boy, to attempt to debate.
You're wrong for being a cac and even attempting such bullshyt.
But you're comfortable cause these c00ns in here caping for you.
But I'm not a c00n. fukk any cac or other group that downplays or pretends mistreatment is not directed toward my people. Especially after it's documented.
