Mr Till had tweeted to OD that he was a pudendum.....obviously with the Liverpool links. OD had great pleasure last night in remeinding Mr Till that he had just been KTFO.

What followed was another trail of abuse at OD on twitter.

(I firmly believe OD was not even on about hillsborough but the scousers dont see it that way. OD is not sharp enough to come out with a statement something and not even mention it!!)

You have got to wonder why Garcia has jumped 2 divisions for this fight. You could see how the fight was going to go from first 2 rounds, no way of getting inside without taking punishment. I fast forwarded from round 7.

Spence vs Crawford please

Painful viewing but credit at least to Garcia for taking his lumps: he is one tough man with no quit in him. Hopefully the right fights at welter get made.

Sh1t fight really never enjoyed it as it was too one sided, I only gave Garcia 1 round, the first 6/7 rounds were a bit of a chess match, Spence jabbing and driving the straight left hand in, he started to walk Garcia down in the second half and beat him up but he always stayed calm and composed, as brave as Garcia was I was disappointed in his tactics, not sure if the plan was to counter Spence or what but his punch output was awful, the strength and power of Spence was a factor in the latter half but in the early goings it was Spence's speed that was winning the fight, Garcia was waiting too long to get his own shots off and looked like he had no gameplan, in the rare occasions when Garcia threw combinations it was usually after getting tagged clean himself, loved Spence's bodywork it was his best asset

Spence was class but Garcia was that flat at the weight I'm not sure how much credit he deserves, bit of a damp squib IMO, Garcia needs to move back down to Lightweight

Yeah,very one sided & uncompetitive but hard not to respect the gameness of Garcia (or stupidity :maybe: :lol: ) to put himself in that position in the first place :TU:

Uncomfortable viewing by the end. Went pretty much how we all predicted, Spence just too big.

I was really pumped for this fight, Garcia came to last the distance but how good is Spence so damn accurate with that left!

Spence is doing the Canelo trick of rehydrating like a baloon and just walking opps down - can't blame him if you got the frame do it!

*just outside of boxing a prospect in MMA got viciously KO'd yesterday (Till) who also cuts down & rehydrates crazy amount of lb - so it can work both ways balooning up!

For me the fight was decided after one round. Spence looked like a giant compared to Garcia, walking him down, owning the centre of the ring. Garcia Landing about one jab. Spence was just far too big, Garcia is an excellent fight but against fellow elite level fighters at that weight looks average. If they were p4p I think Spence is still a better more all rounded fighter but I don’t think it’s so one way but they’re not, Spence is huge compared to Garcia

Some chin García has though. Hearn consistently calling out Spence for Brook is laughable is they fight again Spence destroys him

Nobody should ever criticise SKY commentary again. That was awful. It took the buffoon 10 rounds before he mentioned the fact that Spence was bigger and that it might be a factor.

Well done Spence...I want to see him kick on...the opponents are there for him. I say go after Leo Santa Cruz next if not then Berchelt….though Wangek is asking for it in my opinion.

This always was a stupid fight. Spence is a legit killer at 147 and will probably end up at middleweight.

2019 has been rubbish so far.

I actually thought Garcia would of put forth more of a challenge. I even expected Garcia to win 3 or 4 rounds before losing a unanimous decision.
But I did not think Spence would of dominated Garcia the way he did.
I do expect Spence to move to Middleweight to face Canelo in the next 18 months.
And yes 2019 has been nothing special so far

Like I said before, about the level of LSC vs Abner Mares (but actually, size-wise, more like Mares versus Gervonta Davis).

Naoya Inoue needs to stop hiding in Japan & fight Spence, IMO.

Good to hear from you mate.

The idea of Pac fighting him next... Pointless fight.

Spence is falling into Crawford territory...a line of overmatched fighters. I don't look forward to their fights...and they're supposed to be p4p fighters.

Spence and Crawford are on a level above everyone at 147. Never mind lightweights stepping up. Was clear after a couple of rounds that there was no way Mikey could win the fight. Hopefully Garcia hasn't changed his body too much in preparing himself for a fight at welter. Would like to see him get back down to 135 - his best weight without a doubt. Don't want to see Spence fight Manny either. If he's not fighting Crawford (which he isn't) then it has to be Porter or Thurman. Not a 40 year old.

He is Mexico's 2nd most popular fighter, I'm guessing he gets paid well whoever he fights

Bad bad fight for Garcia to take. He was too brave for his own good and last night could well be detrimental to the rest of his career

What we have seen is garcia a lightweight jump 2 divisions to fight a top 3 p4p fighter at his own weight,we seen kell brook jump 2 divisions to fight a ferocious puncher in his own division which has probably been career suicide,now my point is when are these so called worlds best gonna do something similar and jump up a weight or 2 out of their comfort zone? Spence is a good fighter but did he really need to fight a lightweight when there is danny garcia keith thurman Terrence crawford shawn porter all good fighters and all in his division.
