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.
Yeah, we still have Thurman, though he loss against Pacquaio but this man can still give trouble to Crawford or Spence. Thurman has been calling out Crawford, I don't know if he does the same with Spence but if no Spence vs Crawford, I guess Thurman vs Crawford/Spence would be a good fight.
