Errol Spence Jr. insisted he was still the same fighter despite a severe car accident nearly 14 months ago.
Any skepticism surrounding that claim disappeared on Saturday night at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Spence had no problems against Danny Garcia and won in a unanimous decision, 116-112, 116-112, 117-111.
Spence retained his IBF and WBC welterweight title belts with the victory. But after months of speculation about Spence's condition as a top fighter, he had no major issues against the former champion.
Spence (27-0, 21 KOs) used his jab to apply pressure on Garcia, who maintained his counter-punching style throughout his career.
