The IBF World Welterweight Champion's domination of four-division titlist Mikey Garcia earned props from many public figures. Check out what they had to say.
Congrats champ @ErrolSpenceJr that’s the way to put on for Dallas! #Truth

I've long been a Pacquiao fan, but at age 40, with all his political responsibilities, he wouldn't have much of a chance against Spence's long sudden power. The man strikes like a rattlesnake.

Like I've said. @ErrolSpenceJr #TheTruth is a BAD BAD man. Put on a great show tonight. He has proven himself time and time again to be a true #boxingstar. Crazy mad respect to @mikeygarcia for lasting all 12. #PBConFOXPPV #SpenceGarcia @premierboxing #boxing

Spence displayed dominance and control against García and my prediction was somewhat taken out of context in what I predicted was about who started and establish control and that was Errol Spence being the case! Congratulations Errol!

Top class performance from @ErrolSpenceJr - totally outclassed a great champion in @mikeygarcia
— Darren Fletcher (@DFletcherSport) March 17, 2019
When me & @bigdaddybunce saw him at London 2012 you wouldn’t have predicted this career. The thought was he might be too big for Garcia in fact he was too accurate & too sharp
@ErrolSpenceJr man what they sleep for EJ ? They gotta know you different then these other Kats

Said it before and I’ll say it again, Spence is a modern day Marvin Hagler! Does everything correct and is probably the second best body puncher in the world! Extremely efficient, Mikey Garcia’s a top fighter who showed what brave fighters do BUT weight classes exist for a reason

What we learned tonight???
— Brian Custer (@BCusterTV) March 17, 2019
1. The Truth hurts!
2. We have weight limits for a reason in this sport!
3. Be careful what you ask for#boxing #SpenceGarcia
Wow! Happy bday to me and congrats to @ErrolSpenceJr ! Excellent performance! I’m so happy right now! Really just set the tone for me April 13th! Shout out to @mikeygarcia he kept trying and did not quit! His heart is unquestionable! #Boxing #SpenceJrGarcia

Well that’s another one I’ve got wrong recently..on a bad run at the minute!
— matthew macklin (@mattmacklin) March 17, 2019
Spence too big and too good tbh tonight.
Just home from & watched #ErrolSpenceJr deliver a masterclass of a performance. I didn’t think the weight was going to be a factor, but it was; so was Spence’s reach, which he used perfectly to control the distance & fight with the Jab. Enjoyed his performance #SpenceGarcia

Errol Spence Jr. is a damn superstar. This is a clinic. #SpenceGarcia

Errol Spence beating Mikey Garcia like he at the car wash on MLK in Dallas. This is a straight skull dragging#SpenceJrGarcia

To everyone who warned me, to everyone who picked the fight on the nose, I humbly bow to your superior knowledge. I was miles away. Power of punch from Spence & lack of power from Garcia was a big factor, but Spence was just VASTLY superior. Clinic! #SpenceGarcia
