Errol Spence Brings Race Into It After De La Hoya Reacts To His Garcia Win

Errol Spence put on a boxing masterclass tonight in Texas tonight as he dominated previously unbeaten Mikey Garcia on route to a unanimous points win.

A fight that showed Spence as one of the very, very best fighters in the world today pound for pound.

An incredible talent to be fair.

Many have been paying him deserved plaudits including former boxing legend turned promoter Oscar De La Hoya.

De La Hoya also however from a business perspective appears to be trying to poach Spence, too.

In public no less on Twitter and not even behind closed doors:

Errol Spence shut this down immediately and also brought race into it:

No doubt this is going to stir up a lot of controversy in the coming days in the sport of boxing.

For now however, Spence will no doubt enjoy the well earned fruits of his labor after a truly sensational boxing performance tonight.

It will be interesting to see the pound for pound rankings on Monday morning as regards how far Spence will move up in the different lists after tonight’s beat down of Mikey Garcia.

A man on fight week who many were tipping to beat him.
