Obviously Garcia waited to long for the right time to land his punch and he paid a big price, he is the challenger he should take the fight to the champion, if he is really serious and persistent to become a world champion again, I guess he needs to go on another weight division to show his skills, welterweight is not for him anymore.
We can't blame Garcia for that because he is more of a counter-puncher. He can't change his fighting style overnight and his father knows that. We also have to credit Spence for not committing that mistake of being too overconfident and engaging Danny in a slugfest. Now we can conclude that Errol Spence remains one of the top dog in the welterweight division along with Crawford but I don't think a fight with Manny is possible.
I agree, Garcia was indeed a counter-puncher and this is his strategy in this fight. And Spence was prepared for it as he always protected his chin all night because he knows that Garcia has a powerful left. If was a display of Spence getting back, as if he didn't lost any step of his boxing ability. But I would say there's some ring rust early, but Spence was able to shake it off, sign of a very good fighter.
I think we can say that Garcia is not an elite level fighter, just a good welter weight. Crawford and Spence on top, then we have Thurman and Porter and then Garcia. And of the legend is still there Pacquaio.
