The little micro movements that Spence makes even when going forward makes him a lot harder to nail flush than people have been claiming, and he mixes it up, not just through the dips and highs of the whole 12 rounds, but within single rounds. He can change his speed at will and will dictate where the action will take place on his terms.

Big waste to fight Manny. He destroys Manny at this stage. Not knocking Mannys willingness to fight him, but is a sad indictment on the other guys who should be challenging Spence that it is even being talked about.
Yup, you could see the plan. Mikey wanted to think and catch Spence with something big and Spence was going to allow no time to think. I’m more certain than ever of who Spence is.

Funny to watch people suddenly decide on a Garcia/Loma fight off this. Making drastic reactions off every fight without consideration of the alternative “how would Pedraza do against Mikey?”, KO victory by Mikey. “How would Loma do against Spence?” KO victory by Spence. Mikey has said for a while how to beat Loma and he’s right. Can he do it? I don’t know, Loma is crazy good. It’s one thing to know how to do something and something else entirely to do it. But this fight tells us nothing about Garcia/Loma
