Live on PPV tonight, it’s Errol Spence Jr. defending his Welterweight title against Mikey Garcia in a battle of undefeated fighters. Bloody Elbow will have round by round recaps all night. Here, take a look at rounds 10-12. Round 10: Not quite as bad a round for Garcia as we saw in the 9th, but as he gets to his corner after the 10th, his brother and trainer Robert starts by asking if he wants to go out for the 11th, which tells you where he’s at. Garcia is now stuck fighting to not get KO’d, and he’s succeeding there, but he’s not getting any of his own offense going at all. 10-9 Spence Round 11: Spence comes on strong in the opening minute, launching a salvo to both the head and the body. Garcia is absorbing them, but again, he’s focusing on his own defense and only barely punching back in return - the difference in punches thrown this round is huge. 10-9 Spence Round 12: Spence obviously has the fight well in hand at this point, and he relaxes during a bit of the 12th, but he comes on strong in the final minute, coming inside and landing a lot on the thoroughly outboxed Garcia. 10-9 Spence 120-108 Spence for the shutout on my unofficial scorecard<doc-sep>ARLINGTON, Texas — Mikey Garcia dared to be great. Errol Spence Jr. was simply greater. In front of 47,525 fans at AT&T Stadium, "The Truth" ran roughshod over Garcia en route to a clean sweep on every scorecard, with scores of 120-107, 120-108 and 120-108. It was one of the most dominant performances over a pound-for-pound fighter that you could imagine. Spence used a stiff jab, effective body punching and his size to stifle Garcia over the course of 12 one-sided rounds. To his credit, Garcia (39-1) held firm despite Spence emptying the artillery on the four-division champion. It didn't take long for the IBF welterweight champion to make his presence felt. Right from the outset, he committed to the jab and plowed power shots into Garcia's body. Try as he might, Garcia had very little to offer to offset one of boxing's most ducked fighters. As the rounds progressed, Spence ramped up the activity and sat on his punches. After six rounds, Spence further opened up and dug wicked hooks into Garcia's midsection. By the time Garcia sought to counter, his opponent wasn't there to be hit. In the championship rounds, Spence went after the knockout and put on an absolute power punching clinic as Garcia tried to fight his way back into the bout. Unfortunately for him, he had bitten off more than he could chew and found himself on the wrong side of a decision. Join DAZN and watch more than 100 fight nights a year With the win, Spence improved to a perfect 25-0 (21 KOs). Rather than wait for his next opponent, Spence took aim at a living legend: Manny Pacquiao. "He's broken records here before," Spence said. "He's a legend in the sport and it'd be my honor to fight him next." Pacquiao entered the ring and seemingly accepted Spence's challenge. "Yes, why not?" Pacquiao said. "We'll give the fans a good fight. I'm so happy to be here in Dallas and I hope I will be back here soon."

Chris Arreola whacks Juan Pierre Augustin for third-round TKO 9:33 p.m.: I guess we found out what happens because Augustin gets whacked by a right hand and his legs turn to spaghetti. Arreola is calmly looking to place a big right hand to tuck him in. A bevy of power shots send Augustin down. He manages to get to his feet and the referee administers what is the equivalent to a drunk driving test. It doesn't take long after that for Arreola to pounce on the wounded Haitian and force the stoppage in the third round. 9:30 p.m .: Arreola is bleeding from the nose. Augustin has landed some shots through two rounds. What's interesting is that Augustin is doing well, but we haven't seen him react to a big shot just.

Corbin didn't land over 30 punches in the fight, but about 1/3 of them were below the belt. 8:41 p.m. : Corbin has finally done something, but it won't help him win the fight. For the past three rounds he's been landing low blows. He's lost three points and really has no hope. Eventually, you have to DQ a guy who refuses to not punch anywhere above the belt, right? 8:28 p.m.: It has been all Charles Martin thus far. Corbin's best asset thus far is his ability to take a punch. Entering the fourth round and Corbin is going to have to do something to keep his unbeaten record intact. 8:11 p.m. : Welcome to Sporting News' live coverage of Errol Spence vs. Mikey Garcia. We are kicking off the FS1 broadcast with heavyweights as Charles Martin (25-2-1, 23 KOs) squares off with Gregory Corbin (15-0, 9 KOs).
