Turns out champ vs. champ “superfights” in boxing can be just as one-sided as the ones we’ve seen in MMA! Errol Spence Jr (25-0, 21 KOs) dominated Mikey Garcia (39-1, 30 KOs) to defend his IBF welterweight title, as the WBC lightweight champion’s first foray up to 147 lbs proved every bit as as lopsided as feared. Spence outlanded Garcia 345-75, jabbing him at will, crushing him to the body, and walking through any punches that Garcia did actually connect on.
More than 47,000 fans at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX saw a virtuoso showing from Spence, who won a shutout decision (120-107, 120-108, 120-108) and probably should’ve scored a TKO.
