In my opinion, Garcia is the best opponent Spence has faced. I appreciate that styles make fights and Spence may have it easier than Porter. I've always maintained that Garcia beat Porter as I saw quality v quantity but there's not much between them. I'm picking Garcia for the upset but completely understanding he's the underdog as he can be a plodding and low output fighter, but I also think he has some class and is a hard puncher.

He probably is affected. Still I pick him to win. If he wouldn't have been affected, I'd pick him to win quite dominant.

Agree brother.

A win for Spence will be one of the most defining for a welter champ in decades. Danny has only lost to close battle against excellent opponents.

the most defining right there with porter and thurmans wins over danny

Yeah, Garcia is already beaten. While for Garcia himself a win over Spence will be more defining. Some talk about Garcia being HOF worthy, if he wins tonight.

Ramirez Flores 39 - 37 after the 4th. Eduardo is more precise.

What a stoppage! That right hook was vicious!

yikes that was some finish.

Dam that first rd was awesome. Two punching bags wailing away at each other.

Slower rd 2. Lopez landing some vicious body shots but getting greedy i.e staying too long there.

Lopez wobbles Santa again in round 3. Santa seemed to recover well but loses the round.

39 - 36 for Josesito Lopez after the 4th. Hard first round with some nasty body shots, Lopez is focused tonight and galvanized by recent outings.

Rd 4, another Lopez round. The fight is much slower but still enjoyable. Santa is still dangerous with his counter hooks. Lopez body punches look hurtful.

lookin for spence to make a statement tonight

Rd 5. Lopez hurts Santa to the body. Santa seemed to take it well - he clearly can manage pain. Lopez staying composed. Massive scorecard lead by Lopez but he still looks vulnerable at times.

No point scoring. Santana needs a KO, which is possible although unlikely.

79 - 72 for Lopez after the 8th. They are surprisingly fighting a compact, smart match by their standards.

Word is Sanata's corner should consider stopping it...I agree if it continues in this way.

Boy, those spaghetti legs by Santana after the 9th. Terrifying.

Stop the fight!

He's lost every round and was wobbled multiple times throughout. Time for the corner to step up and stop this.

My god that ref was terrible, Santana's corner was terrible. Unbelievable.

Finally, it was stopped. Lopez showed focus and dissected Santana bit by bit. Awful consideration for the fighter's health, though.

Maidana smoked him too.
