GET PACMAN OUT THE RING

 

[Bobby Layne]

I’ll be honest, I was disappointed in Spence. Mikey’s been hurt by littler guys. Spence should have walked through him.

 

[boxer15]

Spence low key a chump for failing to get Garcia out of there. For a dude “known” to break ribs and faces, his power looked pretty average tonight.

[water runs dry]

Lol Manny got out of there with the quickness.

He's a chump? Yeah ok..

I’m not one of these dudes whose a conspiracy theorist but part of me feels like these two came to an agreement to go the distance and get paid.

Did you NOT see the work Spence was giving Mikey in the later rounds? That wasn't no damn agreement.

Mikey is just one tough SOB

Spence didnt try to kill mikey like I've seen him do other fighters.

 

[snkrfollower]

Spence is one hell of a boxer. Sure, he didn't KO Mikey, but that was just a dominant performance. Feel bad for Mikey for making a potentially terrible career decision, but at least he got paid and he can go back down to his native weight if he's smart. He's just a really likeable human, which is kinda rare in pro sports, let alone boxing.

Or Spence let him survive because no top guy would get in the ring with him if he showcased his power.

 

[br0keballer]

You get paid regardless of going all 12 or a ko one round 1. So stop it with that conspiracy theory.

Mikey only had two fights he could make big money on. Going up two weight classes fighting an elite fighter is a win win for him and he gets that pay day. If he wins he shocks the world and if he loses it was a given that he would lose, so his one lost wouldn’t be that bad that would hurt him.

Goes back down to 135 and can still make that lomachenko fight and make another pay day. Before this fight garcia wasn’t having any big name fights. He saw the money and took the chance when nobody that is a name wanted to fight Spence.

 

[beacon ave south]

A lot of spences punches were blocked or partially blocked.

Mikey finessed the world tonight.

Yea that's a possibility.

We've seen Mikey hurt against Rocky Martinez, and Lipinets buzzed him a couple times. Mikey has a solid chin and is tough guy but let's not act like he's JCC or James Toney when it comes to durability.

There were plenty of times Spence could have stepped on the pedal and ended it if he wanted to tonight. The fact that he didn't feels kind of suspect.

 

[techno]

I love Manny, my fellow countryman... if he values his health, he shouldn't fight SPence of all people

Spence vs Bud is the only fight for me tbh, maybe Thurman

 

[mr highness]

Spence ducking Loma.

 

[IslandBornRedNose]

Mikey's extra weight helped him absorb all that punishment... But also made him slower. Honestly, i don't see Spence losing at 147.. . maybe at 154 he can find more challenges. Crawford is Top Rank, so not sure if that fight can happen. Thurman got the skills and feet... but he does get hurt in the body.

 

[freakydestroyer]

If Garcia is signed to Haymon, he wanted Garcia to survive so that he could milk him for a few more fights.
