I wonder how Mikey would fare against Loma. Spence was too mobile and easily outboxed Mikey, which makes me think Loma would also. Mikey is a great fighter, but think he lacks the athleticism to stay with Loma.
I think that size was the glaring factor in the fight. Mikey would be in the opposite position in a Loma fight. He wouldn’t worry too much about getting hit because he can obviously take a punch and he could for sure hurt Loma.

Loma would have too be extra careful and Mikey is a great boxer. I just think that people are making too much of him losing to Spence. I assumed he would get beat easily. It just surprised me that he could take such a good shot
I can see your points and feel they are valid. That being said, I feel like Spence outboxed Mikey early, and was more about hand speed, Length, and angles than it was about size/weight. Mikey has great fundamentals and skills, but I just think mobile, athletic boxers will exploit his feet. Time will tell though. More than anything, im just hoping Mikey didn’t take too much punishment and diminish himself.
