Tonight is Spence v Garcia. Spence looks massive in comparison and will win on points by a big margin.
Spence whitewash. 120-108 120-108 120-107.
A mismatch from the beginning. Spence had nothing to gain from fighting Garcia, and I'm not sure really what Garcia gained by being blanked. He should count himself lucky that he didn't get badly knocked out or injured like Kell Brook did.
Spence should be fighting Crawford or Thurman, and Garcia should be fighting Lomachenko.
This is the biggest problem with boxing today, and Floyd's legacy - the right matchups are never made at the right time.

Does Thurman or Crawford even want Spence?
Spence might end up fighting Pacquiao next.
A young Pacquiao I'd have winning.
But Spence throws a lot of punches and hits hard. It might be too much for a 40 year old.

Anthony Fowler lost in a great 10 rounder against Fitzgerald. Was winning end of the 9th and probably had punched himself out. Went down in the 10th and lost on a split decision.
That Liam Smith fight was so fucking one sided that I think he would actually have won with one of his hands quite literally tied behind his back.
The ref let it go on a couple of minutes too long as well, there was nothing to be gained letting him fight on & it could have ended very badly.

I missed it but felt it would be anticlimactic after the previous fight. Smith is levels above him and it showed. Smith is a fighter who is in that level above domestic but below world champion.
Lomachenko with a light workout today.
Unsurprisingly Crolla got beat up. It was a farce at the end of the third when everyone thought the ref stopped it. Lomachenko finished it in the 4th.
I’ve heard for months that sky are majorly pissed off with matchroom. I bet last nights card didn’t help. The viewing figures must be minuscule as I cannot see Allan v brown pulling many people in.
It won’t help matchroom’s cause that Whyte v Rivas is PPV. What the fuck?

Abel Sanchez is a bit of a wanker, and I think Golovkin had become a bit too predictable of late.
Even though he won that first fight, I wasn't terribly impressed by Golovkin's work against Canelo. Over-reliance on the jab, and spend the entire two fights trying to find a winning headshot against Canelo, which is very very difficult. Didn't go to the body at all, and didn't show any versatility in terms of his punching repertoire, which was disappointing.

It’s crazy but if GGG had of landed a dozen body shots in either fight he’d have won the decision.
I still think judges massively underrate the jab.

I think it's a question of preferences of style and aesthetics. Had the fight been in the UK or Germany, GGG would have won. American judges tend to favour punching repertoire, flash, head movement etc., all which Canelo is excellent at delivering.
Wilder put Brazeale down in the first and then immediately says he’s in discussions about an AJ fight.
AJ fighting tomorrow night in the garden. The casuals are expecting an early knockout but I’d expect Joshua to finish around round 8.
The other Brits fighting on the card seem to be a bit meh. I shouldn’t expect any upsets.
I won’t be able to see by the time it starts so I’ll catch up with the fights on Sunday afternoon.

I tend to agree. Hearn just wants to keep milking him against sure things.
All 3 of them should be. They’re all protective of their 0 and avoiding each other.
Fury and Wilder fought each other! Wilder has definitely tried to make a fight with AJ on several occasions, and Hearn has undervalued what Wilder brings to that fight, to the extent that I think its pretty clear he didn't want the fight.
