Spitz 24 to 21 higher knockout [Applause] barrel snaps jr. fights and Alice lives in Desoto Texas only 23 miles from AT&T Stadium [Applause] right off the bat they're all spent suspend will establish his jab here and put a slight amount of pressure on and Mikey says looking for some openings right now he's he's walking them walking backwards scene where he can get a counter-puncher - smart move on both men smart [Applause] what do you expect early lenox well you know I expected my queue to actually come at expense but it's the other way around and obviously he's waiting to counterpunch and see what what what he can see from just the first round and he's taking easy you know he's got a lot of poise because that autumn fights under his belt so he knows how to do these first rounds and is a nose he's not in the rush he knows he needs to take his time and kind of see what's there maybe feel-feel expenses power a little bit and see what he couldn't kind of a punch with my key Garcia Bowman up a couple of weight classes he said everyone tells me this fight is too risky that's why I wanted to do it well it is listed you can just tell when arrows pinch there's a couple punches can see the power behind it didn't like he got away from a body shot that was doing by the left hand arrows pens just a second ago but Mike he's really being calculated right now and he's looked at the land sensor to counterpunch but even if he doesn't even if you raced this first round moving it's still a smart move on his part I think to get a sense of what else fence can and cannot do well spins like she has longer arms so yes good work figure out a way to get past those long lines as well oh yeah and kind of figure out the distance between him and Spence yeah if Mikey spot taller guys before he's usually the shortest drive away so it's not that he hasn't a twist bus has been scoring with 160 pounders so he got used to doing this in the gym for the basket Marcia has got the district 12 Browns in each of his last three bouts this is route 1 scheduled for 12 and he got Aerosmith's giving a little ground here so it's a little give-and-take who's pressing home and like he's looking to penetrate a bit his arrows could fallen short on his jabs and his left hand of the father so we've been looking for the strategy that's gonna work maybe fall short with that nice and right jabs yeah model seconds round one [Applause] you know you gotta watch out for that hope that he has okay the instructions from trainer and older brother Robert former junior lightweight champ translated for our viewers by village to his shoes then it makes sense we offer given great instructions pretty much what you saw there is what we put them to do again except to close the gap a little bit more but he's got to be very careful of closing that gap getting that means getting close to Aerosmith's and watch out for else fences right hook round two Mikey Garcia facing a sixth consecutive opponent who has held a title at some point in his career Errol Spence jr. the reigning IBF welterweight champion in your mind Joe who had the engine round one well you'd have to give it to Spence only because he was touching at least he was touching nothing solid landed from either guy but he was touching he's doing stuff like that like he was pretty much trying to figure out Harrell Spence was in the last bone so I'd have to give it to arrow but you know this round Robert wants Mikey to close the gap a little bit so let's see what happens if he can put his hands on eros Spence in this round easier said than done right I agree and he's looking for it right there do this off so many Mike he's trying to get him up against the ropes and arrow Spence is being very making sure that he doesn't monkey said he's prepared to back Spence up what is very risky why is that Linux because he's gonna get you have to watch out for shots coming in put somebody's being poor spackle especially with special experience he's gonna contain punches going buckets and he knows how to throw punches one buckle who knows not gonna move by Robert Micah go see he stepped over to his right Erol Spence is Wepner just like that I'm not gonna snip they're looking at he's done that twice now his pop for that mood there we go down the middle of that right hand [Applause] eighteen punches landed from Spence to this point Garcia with five it's a real cat and mouse game right now very good process of each other's power puts up my keys don't move you know a little bit titin might change though like history korkin is pretty good on Spence but it's not hitting him yet no neither one of these guys does it did all the body shop like Garcia he's starting to figure him out this is kind of what tell Brooke did was he's a lot of cute moves left in light on Aerosmith's most fence starts turning that pressure on like you're doing now and this is what eventually gets to you in the light around Teddy we'd see more aggression from Garcia here and round kid that have a feeling out process in round one let me tell expenses Deana a great thing by throwing as many jabs to be joined this is what you need to do start everything off of the jab get Mikey frustrated with this job get him focused on the job and then you start trying other combinations [Applause] [Music] - so other than your wife [Music] rock everything don't get too careless and you see a nice left jab by arrow and here's Mike he's moving forward trying to pick his spot showing them different angles coping with that left wedeck's how did you score the second round a lot closer little closer Oh this is round three scheduled for 12 from the IBF world welterweight championship belt our unofficial score is barkos the aegis barkos shall be escorted so far have the two rounds up for eros pansies making excellent use of his job stopping Mikey from getting forward and closing the distance though Mike is starting to get warmed up now he had a very good second round but because of arrows excellent use of his jab I have him up 2-0 so far by fax Marco so twenty eighteen over the first two rounds on Marco scorecards oh I would take a little issue with them just the second round there I thought that goes he of course the action he put on pressure he landed a couple of body shots he came over the top of arrows fences right jab hook jab himself I thought he looked impressed more impressive in the second round I think his head movement and his intelligence right now will serve him well again nobody's there l got a nice of the body shot it but nobody's really dominating the rounds yet looks like arrow wants to start pressuring though harder but right when he does Mikey Mitchie slick moves and he throws him off track for a minute and it all goes back to boxing for a second so it's a real tug of war ball laughs grunts pants connecting well actually Mikey had that hand right up there and he blocked that punch now let me just tell you something he it's a great punch by eros pencil it might be smart enough he's going to keep his hands up when he sees those punches coming in he's not going to get hit into a sucker punch like that with Luke me love me see Mikey's not do those in a jab down it's a cat Mouse de Mille international short right man kill them right there he's playing it smart and he's being effective left contents that's right that was a good left hand by Spencer top might put that hand down which he didn't have last time down Hey [Applause] girl came around good see pin left left hook there he's starting to find that that's a punchy action Mikey his mother shouldn't be getting hit with monomeric round three but again Errol's gotta find his openings two of his found one night you know it's not easy neither one of these guys are easy to find openings on fire shop ice mats none of the material has opened up to the body yet is still head Montana still figuring each other out yeah well they're keeping their distance and also haven't really closed the gap on each other once one of them gets in close the other one steps back [Applause] I'm walking down in round three [Applause] cats inside PVC with kidnapped Oh Sean corner and after Baris will provide a full recap of tonight's historic pay-per-view plus the latest on the ante Wilders next move and Peter Quillin and Caleb Truax Duke it out live before their super middleweight title eliminator that's Wednesday March 20 and Ted Easton only on fs1 Peterson and flipping it's bench Sunday on fs1 attend Garcia and Corrado's April 20th then we see a big left hand like a hook by Spence what was partially blocked on that one so it wasn't a completely clean left-hander but no no and he's doing some good right test I thought Aerosmith's took control of that third round like this it is you know electoral support yeah one job is sometimes two times huh sometimes three all right so Heidi an troll Heidi thank you very much Derek I know this has been a lot of them just feeling one another out what did you say to arrow coming into this round he told me said the pros do the job third focus don't get workers thank you very much guys next time in its Derek James Merrill Spence's trader derick also of Dallas native 2007 trailer of the year if the action picks up here in round four that eros pencil ended a couple of good right good left hands he was trying to that loop around the Michael Garcia but Mikey got hip here at Eastern that right hand up much better that could get flipped last round with a putt suspense is going around that he's trying to go straight with that like there straight he's mixing it up on trying to keep Lincoln guessing what he's going to come back with again tomorrow Vegas Marcos you have it up for Aerosmith's three two zero I'm on pins and needles right now is they're very competitive rounds arrow still using the jab to score points is having success here in round number three just see right there pop hit him with the jab and exploring for me and I'm sure it's Pauly's going to the judges seeing this from ringside as well barn thanks Marcos has that he pinch surprised you to this point Lenox no just as one figured you know spreads he's doing the right thing he's moving around and showing that right job and estoy he's mixing up that left hand straight and the round and you know it's keeping the fight in the middle of the ring which is opposed to a look at the number of jabs like this so I want for Spence oh my gosh SIA the turn gloves right now will bye Spence with his left hand absolutely is definitely getting to with it and as a nice going big the long arms are proposed in a problem having a hard time counterpunching right now this is a problem that he can't counter punks he's going to be or shortly model minute round 4 Marko's Negus they're the first three routes to the camp bellows patch Junior there's a left punch match [Applause] Mikey Garcia's keeping his head right now masonry bit more honey shot five Spence great round for Spence right now he's been joining that right left continuously [Applause] No you tipped annouce q-tip means that I Drive you gotta start you need to go back you go back and then go with close the gap do not commit errors he does it does leave himself wide open but you have to be nice and close and move your head move your head and then you start closing the gap how are you fine how does he how does your head okay for combination all right here we go let's see what happened there Spence throws a jab Mikey slips it Mikey came back with a little short right hand left hook well you heard Robert Garcia in the corner you know Mike he's having a hard time counter punching for the distance he's gonna have to get inside he said close the gap get inside now we've got to go for it he knows he's got to make the turn right now back to Heidi and roll Heidi she say this is the round you need to go for what do you want to see might be doing I think Mike you go back to mark just like he's doing right now fighting on the on the outsiders place is too too long men and reach and is the just job in this fight true it might be Maggie the pressure I'm Allegra right just like that next 90 so Robert Kersey happy with what he saw over the first 25 seconds here in round five yeah you're you know he almost have to sacrifice and get inside my keys he's robbers right he's got the shorter arms he's going to have a heck of a time getting through this he's got a press Spence and back them up and I'll tell you what it's dangerous either way get on the outside of the inside but he's got more of a chance Garcia if he gets in there and starts to make something up now see he's requests right now once in three there you go see he's got a press once you throw Aerosmith's off-balance you got to make that second after the jump right on top of him is you're not gonna get too many chances to get both for no no it's difficult it's difficult right now because you know you talking about a skillful boxing at arrow Spence he's mixing up the punches big time and then all of a sudden when like he tries to jump back in there he's getting punched as well so you're right if you fell short with the right hand got jammed with the right hook as arrows couldn't step backwards so he's getting it coming and going and he's having too few of moments to be in this fight right now right now arrow Spence is running away with it Oh Spence is mixing up the punches he's not torn just up ahead he's not and flooring up the middle as well [Applause] in the fourth round Spence landed 26 through 89 punches those are his highs over the first four rounds Garcia with a good start here in the fifth but Spencer's worked his way back he's going to have to make that second or third method once Mike ago she had missed that punch errol spends his new grouping he's got to jump right back on where he's got really he's gonna have a being for a very very long night on the end of that jab that's all he's got to go to work he got him close with the arrow right there he got his left arm on him he should have hooked his right hand somehow like that you gonna do anything right now hit him anywhere you just got himself in a moment like that so he's got to start working inside [Applause] ten seconds remaining in round five here at Arlington [Applause] [Applause] [Music] five round to the books here at AT&T Stadium for the welterweight title Lenox with wash to this point limited arrow spends his bucks in a perfect fight right now he's using that jab well he's not getting caught and then when Mike he's coming in and so in combination he's mixing up the punches right now he's throwing three four four punch combinations which is perfect boxing well yeah it's kind of going how you would have expected it had you favored Darryl Spence that this is the type of fight he could pull off it's not over yet but Mikey's still got two he still got a lot of work ahead of him if he doesn't get inside it's gonna be a shutout by Errol Spence if not a knockout later on right yeah absolutely I mean look at this look at the function he's won he's joined some good left hands body punches mike hasn't thrown those punches if he hasn't gotten to those functions each of the first five rounds have been fought at distance according to copy track an arrow Spence is keeping it that way he is when--like he makes a move in he'll step back to half a step in try to counter catch my company because he knows he's got the store of our arms just as his brother pointed out in the corner because he's got a good inside his brother Robert his trainer this is Round six scheduled for 12:00 for the IBF welterweight title Errol Spence jr. the current champ Mikey Garcia wanted to win a belt in a 50 different weight class in his career Harrell got him so busy with that right jab he's not seen that left hand come to and like I said he's mixing it up he's not only throwing it around but he's throwing his straight up the middle and Mike he's got his hat head up his chin up and spit him out his head a little bit more he's keeping the perfect distance Harrell Spence and now mug shots and if Mikey can't land and he's really in deep trouble body shots 31:17 faithlyn Spence and that's the thing Mike he's a tremendous body puncher he just can't get close enough either way coming or going to lay the body shot much better light like you took that vog Shotwell and came back his own right hand it has no effect on aerospace as of yet [Applause] and there's the heiress no good right hook by eros Spencer but this is the giant mica coming back he's not gonna sit still for that oh and I was fenced at the right the corner he's a better boxer in the middle of the Ring [Applause] model minute round six [Applause] [Applause] down under 20 seconds great bodies up a bill Spence but my comes back here counter you I mean he's not he's not just laying down or he's not just you know folding because he's getting hit hard by eros Spence model seconds round six scheduled for 12 let's head upstairs to Chris Rea and Shawn I thanks Kenny and clearly this is Spencer's fight he's in control he's dominant so far he's controlled the ring this is work behind his jab the thing I like about what arrow is doing is he's mixing up his straight left he's doing it straight and then he's looping it around he's not becoming he's not allowing Garcia to pick up his rhythm well look I hadn't seen the arrow as sensitive as he was in the beginning you fight now he started fighting his rhythm Mike he's catching the punches but he's got to come back with something because he's losing the rounds you know but he's been you know he's back there up quite a bit in this fight no one's ever been backed up before like this but showed his strength right now yes been said timing was key to be on point whether it's a jab or a left cross he's delivering so what could Garcia do given what you've seen Spence do so far you know he came out in the beginning of one of those rounds and he was really aggressive what seemed to be effective for him I think if he continues to do that and then start to try to control the range of this is from there but starting from an aggressive standpoint he might have some Mike he's got two chances got a chance do you have Spence winning every round no on the one ball the one I have - I give money - okay let's go back to Kenny Jo Anna Lennox ringside alright Chris how about you Joe you've spent winning every round picks up the second round right lashauwn Google for sure but and I also agree with the fact that what boom-boom said is that Garcia's got to get in close and he's got to take some chances I agree with that as well yeah when he got in close even though the Spence landed some good shots Mikey was close enough to land some great counter punches off the ropes over there in that last round so if he's not willing to take chances were unable to take chances we're gonna see more of the same here our Markovski agus has scored at 60 54 within each of the first six rounds to arrow Spence jr. and round six pence landed 13 jabs that's more than double the welterweight average well it's serving them well I mean especially since you know that it's gonna be hard for Mikey to counter his jab because he's got so much it's a great strategy to use a lot of jabs because it'll really keep Mikey at bay which is been doing all night and even that great counter punch miss arrow because he's actually got the very good defense of the south let's check in with Heidi and troll Heidi thanks so much guys I just talked to Derek James arrow Spence juniors coach he told me he wants him to keep his composure shorten up those shots don't rush you can even hear Floyd Mayweather over here saying don't rush use your jab he'll walk into it what's gonna close up on the middle though all right thanks Heidi you see Errol stepped in a few seconds ago with a straight left hand lead but who was able to pull out pick enough were even Mikey as quick as he is with his counter punch it keeps all short with it and now actually has a very very slick defense he knows what punch is gonna come after he throws a certain punch so when he throws a left hand he knows most likely he's going to get counter fire right hand and he's living for final minute round 17 [Music] there James is right it all needs to shorten up shorten up on the punches because he doesn't want to leave himself out there to be counterpoint I agree without him entirely but you know right now even though he's not shortening up on his punches he still hasn't paid the price for it but his always good to be conscious but I won't tell you Mikey Garcia's double uses he he's not using his feet to come forward he's turn the counter punch but he's got to do that he's gonna put a hustle on with his feet if he really wants to be successful round seven winding down here at Arlington not a Wilder one of the many greats on hand the current WBC heavyweight champs all right then slip an unlikeable jab when it's your head together you know my casted a little closer but seriously that long arms of arrows Spence and junior Rowan that roundhouse body punch little long but he's still catching him there's the one up the middle and here is the last shot / with that left hand coming around my keys gloves but uh but a nice counter by Mike he's still thinking he's doing alright but he lost those rounds this is only the sixth time Darrell Spence jr. has gone past six rounds in his career in his 25th Pro bounty but on those replays that certainly looked like Harold's pizzas landed the heavier shots without a doubt he was connecting well this is eight of 12 but if Mikey Garcia is gonna make any headway he's going to make his move yesterday and so he's got to really do something spectacular he's got a bird Carol spent at least well I don't think he's going to hurt arrow Spencer you know when you look at boats for people's Baron knockout ratios barrel spins has the highest knockout ratio 21 at 24 for steps Mikey got he hit with what he thought was a low blow and he was complaining the reprimand a right hook just missile flies Jenna we can't take his eye off the ball though not with a guy like Spence look at the total number of punches landed only 45 by Garcia that we are in round eight that's down at 166 seems like the job is really bothering Mikey Garcia because his putting up that left hand trying to block it but he can't blocking when he's trying to block it you know girls Benson's coming in with that left which is the right thing to do what Spence is doing great too this is actually boxing nice ladies for God that was considered just a pressure fighter more or less he's stepping back with Mikey stepping in sometimes countering sometimes just making Mikey go see a mess like that so he's he's playing a really smart game and it gets back in he'll start touching again Mike he's known for that left hook I haven't seen that left hook yet and this is you know this is good punch left hook is hard to get off on the southpaw you know that works really well against Amber's against southpaws it's really hard especially when you got a jab taking up all the time on your left hook side you know what I mean Oh Spencer just dominating now and even when he's close to Mike he might be can't find the counter shots pato minute around 8:00 scheduled for 12:00 in Arlington here in round Pete Spenser's landed 40% 32 of 80 garcia only 4 of 43 [Applause] there's couple good right hands and we'll chop his up like he's Danny on the inside but Tim what effect because here comes el man wrong straight left hand overlay that's my stats [Applause] that will do it for round 8 time now for sounds from the ring specialist trainer Derek James oh that's beautiful making my god daddy well without a point of reference to really know what he's looking at at that particular that's beautiful Mikey so obviously saw something Mikey did that he liked his arrows his fighter right yeah well no I think it's a situation where he likes what Mikey bids because that was perfect air control these combination so they they know he's gonna do something when he does it that's what they like exactly or it might have been the one time Mikey had a good flurry there I doubt if I think you're right about one through eight rounds Garcia landing only 26% of his power shots landed 43% over his last five fights well if you know I got to believe that in Robert Garcia's as his trainer is the corner for Mikey Garcia is in a real you know he's not can't be feeling too confident right now he's like you say Mike he's down a pig knockout puncher so you say how do you turn this fight alone what's he gonna do to turn this by the line well he's got it like you said he's got to take Chauncey I haven't seen him take one chance you know he's basically out he's gonna have to rush him okay let's yeah even when he takes chances of what's he gonna do with it I mean small points that's not gonna win this fight it's too far gone already it all right well he needs to throw some punches well begin again this round is this he it seems like he's looking for that perfect punch that perfect punch is never going to be there he's got to throw punches to get that perfect punch at the beginning in this round our Felix Felicis heard from Waikiki Garcia's corner be careful it's hard to be cheerful in a fight there's this later is over brother Robert a nil stepped it up Haven this round what you do what he does best and that's really pressure you and yeah it may not be that easy to take Mikey out we're already in the ninth round [Applause] he's landing there right now very solid step Oh left uppercut party hats Mikey's taking these punches on the chin oh yeah how many how much of these punches he's going to be able to take this is what happens when you step up you know these guys punch a lot heavier and this is expensive this expensive weight class spencey saying no no no no guys from with low weight class is going to come up and meet me in my weight class I'm the king of this weight class I'm saying Spence doesn't have to lump the weights as well I mean whether you step up or not the bottom line is said he's got Mikey on the runner on the verge of a knockout right here and he looks like he's looking for it not that against Toshiya see Mikey to that left hook that left hook we slow right jab by Spence [Applause] boys nearly got Mikey on the run right now on the beat if I don't know if he could take another round like this next round with Errol suspense drums on the heat but he did this way [Applause] model seconds of round 9 and you will see some great action by Spence he wants to mix it up a little bit more so he steps to him joins some good body punches good body punches then he comes up to the head his hands and ice and heís got Mikey up against the ropes crowding him right now putting him in the corner oh man sir punching and here we see him on some super slow-mo spends coming in with that right hook Mike he fallen against the ropes he is that last punch coming was blocked blocked but good combinations by Eero Spence Junior we heard from Manny Pacquiao earlier when he chatted with our maid abdel man he said he'd love to face the winner of this bout Harrell Spence telling us yesterday I want Pacquiao next I mean he may get him after this performance I'll tell you because he's proven to be the the premier welterweight in the welterweight division of all the champions right now our Philips face is telling us that Robert Garcia said he's going to stop it if he doesn't get a good route out of Mikey for more than Heidi and roll that's right I just talked to Robert he said that he didn't like the kind of punches that he was getting hit with in that last round Mikey asked him for this round he said all right I'll give it to you Carol stance in round nine grabbing 51 punches most buyer Garcia opponent in 20 fights good right hand by Spencer well Robert saw what we were talking about last down which was he did not afford to take another round like the the temp talked about Michael Garcia taking that type of progress and Robert will stop the fight if he thinks his brother has taken too many punches and even if it wasn't as brother it'd be a smart move because you know you gotta watch out for your fighter regardless it's the family or not and remember how she meant to go earlier Mike he was called by many including some in his camp that his flight was too risky every fight is whiskey but this one has a special shape this TV is here in there with a with the machine Genaro Spence who nearly devastates most of his opponents whether it's to the body or head but eventually he wears you down and just thoroughly you know thrashes you and he's sticked into the script right here smacks putting on a clinic he is and against a guy that eaten his medium not easy to put a clinic on against whether you're bigger than him or not follow minute round 10 having seen too many body punches bimah mike egan garcia and you know he's gone forward a function yeah he is and he just got hit with a couple didn't bounce across four Cutt yeah yeah my arrow spence the thing is is Mikey Garcia is too busy protecting himself to worry about he's just worrying about blocking punches to tell you the truth at this point of the game at this point is only gonna be one punch well I got a tanker Mike you threw a nice crisp left hook off of the counter counters out of the arrow punch but the narrow came right back with a script left there so even when Mikey does something good Harrell answers it back but look at the total power punches Spence Randy 55% Garcia 24% final seconds of round 10 [Applause] let's listen to the corner of Mikey Garcia looking around I'm feeling yeah you want to go out again yes you're a little better now then get closer let's go let's go for it from the outside don't fight find us inside there's two more rounds left this is to be nice and close he's only feeding it because of his clothes and then start working the body to get more busy you want to do it wait want to go let's go you have a lot of art let's go this don't go down you gotta fight small nice and low okay [Applause] [Music] this is round 11 Spence through a fight hi 125 punches in round 10 I think right at this point with Robert go see is same as look as long as I don't think you're gonna take a lot of punishment I'd like to miss get the femoral victory of going the distance and I think Mikey feels the same way he'd like to go the distance and finish this fight without appealing stop he's not being himself indicator by sitting on the ropes right there is that's how he works at politic Mikey Garcia needs to knock out arrow Spence to win this fight applause but right now he's too busy protecting himself from this onslaught of arrows fences combinations he is he filled a good job of blocking he's picked much ago but something's gonna slip in eventually but Mikey doesn't counter next log of Elijah punches here at round 11 it's not looking good he's looking for a counter saw it was too good a too late that's has landed over 300 punches Garcia only 63 the Marco Vegas that can so fly have at 194 Aerosmith's was seeing him now mitts of his body attack which I was looking to see in the early rounds but spent showing over the course of this fight that he has another dimension and that he can boxing is just not the special fighter that comes forward mark - mark no so Marcos has given all 10 rounds to aerostats tonight right now what he's doing is he's just punishing my Kagoshima the body allowed that my Kia stand at least focused he doesn't look like he's lost focus yet where he's being gazed even though the referee John Shirley's really keeping a close eye on things look as well as the corner you know he's being a punching bag right now a lot of punishment and punches which is slowing him down so anytime he attempts to throw a punch he's not gonna have the energy to get that punch through I know we got one minute left in the 11th round here I'm telling you that's it's a mall victory if he lasted 12 rounds and that's what I think we're going for here right now I don't think they're going for the win because the wind is impossible he's walking away those punches he's taking some good shots no down here and there but he still capable of trying to counter I'm talking about Garcia Madero Spence is really turning up the heat right now 20 seconds left [Applause] pink arrow Spence just likes the Bucks inside right now it doesn't well keep the fight from a distance though he now you know right now he's just stepping towards Mikey loving it and he's being smart too because as soon as he hears that that fella he's right by his corner right there you go so I think Mikey's very happy he made it through the round I think they're consigned to the fact that if they can get through this fight with a decision it's a it's a big moral victory a look at cowboys owner Jerry Jones both fighters Biff Dallas Cowboy fans both attended games here at AT&T Stadium this season Darrell Spence says I bleed blue go get him right now and uh Bob won't a rotate rotate rotate and you see another Spence flurry just stepping towards Mikey mixing up the punches throwing punches in bunches Marky Garcia acknowledging the crowd as we began the 12th and final round arrow Spence jr. fighting past 11th for the first time in his pro career he's never gone to round 12 no and Derek James doesn't his trainer doesn't want it to he said you got to go get him go get him go get him now he knows he's got the fight feeling won but yet he's telling his guy to go out and not play it safe in the 12th round like you would normally I think he wants him to get stopped on yeah of course yeah he wants to get the knockout victory just as it is a moral victory for Garcia to go to 12 it's kind of a little bit of a letdown not to be able to stop the guy that's 135 boundaries on the other side of the coin right like he's a good fighter is a great fight he's a grand see that's why he still here knows how to protect himself usually other guys who probably stop get stopped by now but you know Mike he's doing a good job of protecting so in Italian he's he's proven himself to have a lot of courage a lot of strength mentally and physically and he took the challenge he's coming up short on the challenge but man I mean it takes a lot of guts and bravery to take this type of challenge on against a machine like Errol Spence and he is a fantastic boxer puncher body puncher he's a great champion Mikey Garcia champion in four different weight classes 49 and Oh Merrill Spence jr. at 24 know the current IBF world welterweight title holder that is an expense in control right from the start like who slipped a couple of big Crunch's in here and pop down a couple of short wet hands but that's as much as he's getting accomplished right now he's got one minute left to survive this 12th round and get them all victory of lasting 12 rounds for those pens not many guys came or have that's true [Applause] Nansen Garcia and great respectful water others spent a lot of time together they routed Los Angeles on a couple of occasions for press conferences and earlier this week here in Arlington Mikey Garcia said arrow reminds me of me well spence's keeps coming squishing this last round he's these chimes a golfer broke right here and and closed the show he's got 25 seconds of 20 seconds to do it live right now I don't think he's gonna do it [Applause] still

a young age grew up in DeSoto 23 miles from AT&T Stadium he had what he called a wall of inspiration in his bedroom posters magazine covers and alley Leonard Mayweather Roy Jones Thomas Hearns and Spence lookin to maintain his world welterweight belt here tonight and in the beginning he started off throwing a writer that sometimes a straight right left sometimes around the corner right left and
