First and foremost, I never liked Mickey. This guy is a product of Top Rank protection program. Was carefully matched early in his career that he never fought world level competitions in his first 30 fights, then suddenly becomes a 4 division champ 7-8 fights later? I never liked how he fights, he's too conservative making some of his fights dull and lack luster. But he did improve alot throughout his career, gotta give him that. But I'm not a fan of him, there it is. Cause I know I'll be accused of being a fanboy for saying this - MICKEY'S GONNA BEAT SPENCE IN A DOMINANT FASHION AND HE'S GONNA EXPOSE HIS HYPE.
I'm not a Spence hater. He's a good fighter. But there's just too much hype in him making him too good compared to what he really is. He's not really a monster as what people make him up to be. And trust me, he hasn't fought anyone of Mickey's caliber.
This fight be a reality check not only for Spence fans, but for anybody who thinks too highly of him. Mickey is more seasoned, Mickey is more skilled, Mickey is more versatile, Mickey is plainly better in most of the aspects. Spence can have the size, reach and the height. IT WON'T MATTER - MARK MY WORDS
He'll be eating hard and well-timed counters all night long
Come fight night, you'll see :moon:
Mikey ducked and avoided Vasyl Lomachenko to prevent an asswhopping. However he received an even bigger ass whooping from Erroll Spence, Jr. The younger, greener and less skilled of the two fighters between Spence and Loma.
I have a fight card thread if you're interested, with notes by round. It was a blowout, one of the most dominant blowouts I've seen.
And since you say you're new, I suggest you don't listen to THIS guy, who watched a different fight:
I really thought Spence was gonna try blow him out with his come forward style. I thought Mikey was gonna make him respect his power with his counters early on making him tentative from then on. Everything else should then play in Mikey's hands as they fight in a controlled distance.
Boy how wrong I seem to have been.
Kudos (Sry but I too was tagged as an alt. I was told it's a rite of passage, Alt :wave: ).
What was going on through your mind as the rds went on ?!?!?!?
It kinda looked like Spence is a better boxer than I thought. Or it may also look like Mikey is more durable than what we think lol.
CasualAlt ?!?!?!?
As I said multiple times, I'm not an alt. I'm here not hiding dude ready to eat my crow.
Some idiot Red K'd me for that wrong accusation
Tsk, damn. It seems like was off the mark.
I didn't see the fight yet though. I was just watched round by round threads and news articles but it sounds bad for Mikey.
Casual maybe, but I got eyes and ears too. I can see and have an opinion. I'm not a sheep who just follows people with 'Expert' opinions.
The eyes and ears of a casual fan. Fight wasn't even competitive

Wow you look like an absolute tool
Alot of these people are sheep minded. They only go with popular opinions. But time in time, these 'expert' opinions have been proven wrong already in various fights.
I can see Spence being stylistically tailor-made for Garcia. Yeah, Spence is bigger but this isn't a David and Goliath type of fight as what people picture out. They aren't far apart and Mikey has the tools to exploit Spence.
My point exactly. Its as if all of a sudden ppl forget how Mikey got here. He has lots of talent, I think much more skill than Spence. Tonight we all find out who is better.
I trust my own eyes not some stranger who doesn't know what he is talking about. The pro odds makers have Spence a solid betting favorite of I think 5 to 1 and they handicap boxers for a living and are not influenced by hype. I think Spence wins by early KO mainly because he is much better in every way especially punching power and punch resistance. He is also bigger if you go by lean muscle weight. They both weighed within a pound of each other but Mikey looks soft even with his special training while Spence is rock hard. Time will tell and I'll give Mikey much praise if he wins. I think you will be exposed as a boxing dummy.
Those odds have tightened up a lot. I have just seen Garcia at 2.5-1 in one place.
Throughout boxings long history, smaller men have beaten bigger men. Why is everyone so blindly dismissing Mikey? Spence has never seen anyone with his skillset. As for spence, what is so special about him? I do not see anyone Crawford cant handle. I wish Mikey all the best.

A very good little man can beat a bigger guy. Shame Spence isn't a big clumsy oaf :(
A very good big man usually smashes a very good small guy.
A good little man can also beat a good big man due to styles. Plus their size differences aren't really that much. Check out fight night.
