I just want to go on record that I am backing Danny Garcia to defeat Errol Spence, Jr.
Reason being, Spence is a great fighter, but Porter in my opinion was even with him before the knockdown sealed it.
Danny Garcia, in my opinion, is as good a boxer as Porter, not quite the pressure fighter Porter is, but a bit cleaner with his shots and great with that looping hook.
Add to that the fact that Spence really beat the odds with his accident, and there are going to be a lot of question marks just how much that ordeal may have affected him psychologically and physiologically, and I am giving Garcia the edge in this fight.
I think Garcia has about a 60% chance of winning, but it will be a great storyline if Spence can win and complete the comeback, so to speak, after his horrific accident.
What do you think?
I dont think he will win, but I want Garcia to win cause if he does, he'll fight anyone, including Crawford, unlike his opponent who has been duckign bud for 2.5 years now.
Another close fight involving Danny Garcia in which it will appear that NSB posters are very close to split down the middle on who they believe won the fight, and a multitude will scream highway robbery even though consensus will have it that the winner took it by no more than 2 rounds. This is what my dark necromancy has revealed to me.
Danny by close decision is my actual pick
I'm not going to say Spence is NOT the same, I'm also not going to say Spence is the same fighter as he was before.
Again, we just don't know. We will have our questions answered on Saturday night.
Fair enough. That's just my position. I can see that Garcia hook smashing Spence's fragile jaw. We'll see.
The odds got this as a 75/25 Errol fight. I'm a Errol fan, but I'm not sure this was 75/25 if Errol hadn't got into a crazy ass accident.
So I'm picking Errol cuz Errol is probably my favorite boxer these days, but my money is going on Danny.
It’s the better bet. As an old friend said to me. Bet when you think the bookies have got the odds wrong wrong.
I could see why they had DDD favourite but there was no way Joyce should be a 12-1 to get a stoppage between rounds 7-12.
The odds of a Danny KO in the first 6 rounds are worth a bet imo
^^This post says it all.
Spence is NOT the same. That dental reconstruction job looked like a mouthpiece on TV. Can't be solid, won't hold. Posters who think Errol is same are delusional.
Garcia KO. I want to be wrong.

You don't know that. Like no one legit knows how his face or chin hold up after that brutal accident. His punch resistance can be completely gone and he can cut easily or maybe he is back to his usual self.
As intriguing of a fight as I can remember with all the questions regarding Spence.

Exactly. Danny might be weak in the body but I'm not sure..I know fighters with iron chins like his typically don't take body shots as well. Did Porter target his body in their fight?
Porter's body punching is the reason he won that fight.
The only times he was able to back Danny up was when he was body snatching.
Danny is strong as an ox and has a granite. Body snatching is the only way to make him retreat, Porter proved that on their fight.
Still it aint like he got a weak body like say, Keith Thurman, he just doesn't have a granite body.
Expecting another good TOUGH Fight! Danny has a great Chin and he is tough with Power. Look forward to seeing how Spence Jr looks after his accident, he is in excellent shape but yeah look forward to seeing how he reacts after being punched with one of those No Look Left Hooks
Just be a man and give credit to whoever wins after the fight and don't make no excuses
I agree Sicko, people are sleeping on Danny. Yes he may lose but it wont be easy. Spence is no slickster. He is a come forward power boxer.

I don’t see EJ trading with Garcia for at least the first half of the fight. I honestly don’t even see EJ throwing a ton of body shots during that time either. He can sit back and tee off on Danny until he feels it’s safe enough to turn it up.
EJ fought Porter the way he did because he knew he could...but also Porter is the type of fighter to force you to bang. Danny can be outworked and outfootworked if you what I mean?
EJ plans to box and pick Danny apart and if Danny is still a threat towards round 9-10...he will coast to a UD. If Danny begins to weaken then you can see a real beating. A stoppage would result in instant legendary status lets be honest(because it’s the least likely and expected).
Angel Garcia has been running his mouth as usual, saying Danny deserved the decisions against Thurman & Porter, but admitted that Danny should've been more aggressive. Danny played it safe against those two. I think they realize they can't play this fight safe at this point in Danny's career.
Danny & Angel know a loss against Spence, who is coming off a bad accident and year plus lay off, would be devastating to Danny's career. I do believe that Danny will fight with more urgency by going after Spence early. Spence may be hesitant early because of the lay off and the accident. If Danny is able to land as clean as Brook and Porter, how will Spence react?
I have never understood why people rate Garcia so highly at 147.
He had a great run at 140 but he is what he is. He beats the guys he should beat and loses to the top guys in the division.
Spence will have an easy time here. Too many advantages.
That's what I'm thinking. Spence
still has a noticeable scar above one of his eyes. I think he'll fight with something to prove, like he did with Porter, and try to trade with Danny. Spence will be trying to look like he's better than ever by becoming the first person to drop and stop Danny, but Spence will get cut.

If he blows out Garcia, that would be impressiveyea it will. García has been very hard to beat and will be again
I would make Spence a slight favorite around 60-40
Danny looked a little soft around the middle last week. Spence looked like a beast, trimmed down and ripped. My gut tells me to go with Spence on this one, but Danny will make him work for it. If Danny wins I think he'll sing for a unification bout with Pac in 2021.
If it weren't for Spence's injuries received from the car crash I'd chose him to comfortably get a UD against Danny.
Garcia doesn't throw enough punches.
Which brings forth the Big question hanging over the fight ... Is Spence's face / body properly healed enough to have him be fighting at the Elite level ?
Is that really a thing? Like his face has fully recovered, so I don't think it's gonna be a factor

Nope it wont be easy. It may be easy as far as the score cards but there is always a chance he gets clipped. You saw How Garcia walked down and drilled Granados. Yes , Spence is way better than Granados but Danny can hiut hard and i noticed that scar tissue over the eye.
Garcia is taylor made for Spence. Spence has the height, the reach, the busyness and skills to neutralize Garcia. The only way Garcia will have a chance is if Spence would be dumb enough to get inside and slug it out with Garcia which I highly doubt he would do
