Multi-weight world champion Mikey Garcia has been near-flawless in his professional boxing career. The 5’6” orthodox puncher, relying on his long list of wins, is now on track to bag another world title in the welterweight division. Hence, the other welterweight fighters will look to craft a game plan to stop him in his tracks. That said, they have only one professional fight to look at in order to get some insights into how to stop Mikey.

In 41 fights, Mikey Garcia has only lost once. The loss came against an absolute great of today’s era, which delayed his plans of becoming a welterweight world champion. It also ended his unbeaten run, which was shocking for the entire world. Following his win over Robert Easter Jr. for the lightweight world titles in 2018, Mikey Garcia shifted to 147 lbs in March 2019.

The decision, however, cost him his unbeaten tag, as he came across ‘Truth’ Errol Spence Jr. The clash between two undefeated stars saw Errol Spence Jr. have the last laugh. However, Garcia had nothing to be ashamed of. Despite falling short, he was on his feet till the final bell.
