Errol would bring the fight to Garcia and get him out of there before the 10th.
But Spence gets outboxed by Thurman.
I like Errol a lot. I like his style, his personality, he seems like a cool dude. He has power, good fundamentals, likes to work the body...
But at this stage, Thurman is too fast and too skilled for him.
Maybe in a few years when Spence has a few more championship-level fights under his belt, things will be different.
I don't think we'll get a chance to find out anytime soon. If he beats Brook, all the focus will be on building Thurman-Spence and neither guy will face a significant opponent beforehand.
If he loses, Al isn't going to put one of his guys (Spence or Danny) deeper in the hole by having them fight each other.
It's actually the exact opposite. Danny does better against Spence than Keith does. Danny is at his best when you come to him and he can catch and shoot or just counter. He is not as effective as the aggressor. He wouldn't have to worry about that against Spence since he is right there.
Thurman on the other hand loses it when he is forced to fight your fight. He can move, but the ring can be cut off and he can be forced to fight in close quarters.
I would be rooting for Garcia in said fight. I think he's a pretty damn good counter puncher and with Spence being so offensive minded, the opportunity to tax Spence for his decisions will be abundant. Honestly, I think Garcia vs Spence would have potential to be an extremely action packed and highly entertaining bout. More so than Spence vs Thurman or Brook.
Spence is left handed and a lot bigger so he could really just engage Garcia on his terms whenever he wanted.
Spence probably would be aggressive so Garcia could possibly land a big left hook, but it would be difficult.
Garcia is tough though and really doesn't open up that much so he would be a hard guy to take out, he also won't go for broke so Spence would probably have a hard time stopping Garcia unless he made Garcia just say uncle.
It may hard to throw heavy shots at Garcia's body, since he's constantly looking to land that left hook counter.
Keith did a great job of avoiding that shot, but I think it was because he didn't focus too much on the body or stay in the pocket very long.
Herrera did a good job of throwing jabs and straight rights to the body in their fight, but he didn't have the power to make them effective.
Actually, ducking under the left hook while landing the straight left to the body (followed by a right hook) is one of Spence's favorite attack sequences, so I don't think he would have trouble with Garcia's left hook at all.
We need to see how good Spence is before we crown him. He hasn't fought anyone that can really bang yet. He has looked exceptional so far against limited or feather fisted opposition but Kell brook is neither. This is a massive test for Spence that he might not pass.
Keith fought a very smart fight. He quickly realized that he is not going to KO Danny with one punch,and Danny's defense is good enough to avoid being hit flash several times in succession. So Keith resorted to boxing and throwing just quick scoring punches. His better reflexes, his versatility and good stamina to carry this on without slowing down won him the fight. We didn't see anything like this from Spence. Maybe we will, but so far he is untested as far as I'm concerned. If he will try to bumrush Garcia, he might get KOd himself. It was not an easy task what Keith did.
So did Margarito until Mosley stopped him. In any case he does have a really good chin, but is has his body really been tested yet? Spence has arguably the best and most consistent body puncher in the sport, and Danny is a stationery fighter, which makes it easier for Spence to just plant his feet down and unload on that torso.
Still, boxing skills aside, Danny is a tough mtfur!!!!

Nah Danny has a great chin done see anyone stopping him at 147.

I think Spence beats Garcia now. I need to see how he fares against Brook though before making a prediction of how he would do against Thurman.
We are going to see Thurman vs Spence by the end if the year.
I hope so.
Kell Brook is no cakewalk, though, but I think Spence can handle him.
I feel like Spence-Thurman would be the more exciting fight, so hopefully that one happens.
Imo, Thurman-Brook would be a chess match, which I don't mind, but it turns casuals off of boxing and sends them running to mma.
