I wonder if Arum would say exactly the opposite of he wasn't promoting Khan-Crawford.

Or wasn't the embittered ex-promoter of Garcia.

Good observation!! You clearly see Arum for the shyster that he is.

I'd bet on Mikey against Khan.

Well Arum's a boxing promoter.

I don't see him as better or worse than any of the others.

BS flows from their lips the second they awake.

It's how they make a fortune.

But.... he's the true winner here. Spence looked only the bigger man. He's quite dull and average really. A skilled boxer his size shames him.

Crack kills dude. Get some help before it’s too late. Mikey has absolutely zero to be proud about. He called Spence out and most of us paid money to see a VERY a very unspirited performance by Mikey. On my card, he lost every single round and at no point in this fight did I ever think “this is a great fight “. It was a putrid PPV. One of the worst PPV FIGHTS IVE EVER SEEN.

When the bigger man gets a mere points win against a man two weight divisions lower than him there is nothing really to cheer about. The outcome was entirely predictable. 100 years of boxing has proven this. Said the same thing when 6,1" middleweight Hearns beat 5,6" lightweight Duran. That was supposed to be some great accomplishment for Hearns? It was a similar type event yesterday only poorer outcome for the big man. Mikey was barely marked, never in any trouble near a tko, and never knocked down; he hit Spence but of course he has no power to hurt a big welterweight.

If anyone truly thought little Mikey was going to do anything other than box to survive the 12 they're lack of experience and knowledge is evident. I predicted this fight perfectly. My record here shows.

Sorry but i have to completely disagree with your review of the fight. Coming into this fight, Mikey's Boxing ability was the attribute that was making this fight so compelling and attractive. How was Mikey's superior boxing skills do against a bigger and more powerful ESPJR who has had shown to have some defensive issues. Errol boxed Mikey's ears off in every minute of every single round. No one expected that to happen. I hadn't read that anywhere in anyone's predictions. Errol was quicker, faster and more powerful from minute one. Mikey was supposed to be better than Errol in one of these categories right? Nope.

I also disagree with you that Mikey didn't take any punishment. Errol started pushing for the KO in the later rounds and did some steady damage upstairs to Mikey. So much so that his corner almost stopped the fight on 2 occasions. A veteran trainer like Garcia doesn't throw those threats around between rounds much. He could see what kind of damage Mikey was taking. Mikey can take a good shot so that's probably why it looked like he wasn't getting tuned up but you should watch it again because i definitely saw Mikey in dangerous situations late in this fight where had it been my brother, i'd have stopped the fight.

IMO, Mikey changed his goal of winning the fight to just not getting KO'd several rounds into this fight. A Mexican fighter with a granite chin just trying to make it 12 rounds is extremely difficult to knock out no matter their traditional weights. Most times, the only way the fight is stopped in these scenerio's is by the corner. Just my opinion.
