Yea that Roach one went too far.

Benavedez looked good, but Love isn't great. Nice to seem him back after the drug suspension layoff, that shouldn't have been the co main of a PPV though.

This has been a very underwhelming undercard.

Hope the main event makes up for him.

Yea, about what we should've expected given the matchups. The only way Arreola should be back on a card is vs a fellow slugger. The other two fights were just features vs overmatched opponents.

Garcia should be Spence's toughest matchup so far, so there's at least that to look forward to. The chance of a Garcia win is really intriguing to me though, been looking forward to this one since it was announced.

Spence takes 1 based on volume, landing a few clean jabs, Garcia landed maybe, what, 2?

I actually like the way Mikey is starting, he's blocking almost everything, moving well but not wasting energy and he's setting up feints.

Obviously wouldn't be too worried if you're Spence's corner either, you're up 1-0 and haven't been hit nor wasted any real energy.

Mikey is making him miss a lot, some good counters and leads in that one. I want to say Mikey edged it in round 2. If Mikey can handle these types of shots I like his chances, but that's easier said than done, especially when Spence lands some clean shots. Love Mikey's footwork so far.

Spence took 3 pretty clearly. Really like his jab, it's not always landing, but he's using it to control the fight.

Mikey's left is obviously a money punch for him, he's throwing it at times but hasn't quite landed much with it yet. Will be interesting to see if he can, especially with Spence throwing more straight lefts.

I hate this advice but Mikey has to let his hands go. When he does, Spence tends to cover up a bit and let Mikey dictate, but otherwise he's just standing in front of Spence and getting picked off.

Mikey hasn't been able to outbox, or even really box to the level of Spence thus far and is standing around too much at this point. Poor quarter, 3-1 Spence but feels wider unless Mikey can start landing counters to keep him honest, as he's not moving enough to make Spence miss regularly anymore.

Feel like Mikey edged 2, but Spence has dominated his rounds. I think Spence is going to win by accumulation. Whether that ends up 11-1/10-2 or TKO in rd. 10+ I'm not sure.

Does Mikey realize that fist-pumping after each round doesn't award points??

Errol probably gonna cruise to a 12-zip like the last time a Mexican legend moved up 2 weight classes to fight an elite welterweight.

Spence really slowed down when Mikey went on that little barrage. It was the only bright spot of yet another Spence round, I guess that and that Mikey is taking the shots so well (so far), but he can't take those shots for another 6 rounds.

It's Rigo vs. Loma. If no one will fight you at your weigh. Move up and get a check.

I feel like it might get stopped if Mikey lets himself be a punching bag for another round like that.

I don't think Mikey did this for a paycheck. His team didn't want him to take this fight and he just made a ton vs Broner and could take much softer touches within Haymon's stable for well over half the money he's making tonight.

He could also hold off and angle for a Manny fight (which he'd get if he won tonight I'd imagine automatically).

Stop this. He's got nothing left to prove and his defense is starting to slip. I know he wants to go the distance and I know we're in 11, but this is unneeded.
