Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: I'll Be More Aggressive Than Usual With Broner!

[Bronx2245]

That fight was like a holiday, we had like 30 family members and friends around the TV for that one..

It peaked at less than 400K viewers. I would've thought it would do much better! Spence Jr. still doesn't have that ability to draw. Hopefully he fights DSG next!

Porter was actually not following any formula. He was always himself in every fight, except in the Thurman fight. He brawls his way in basically saying, "I want none of that distance crap. You won't have it." Of course, it always ends up in clinches and head butts. Spence is basically a bigger Porter. When he knew he's facing a better boxer, he brawls his way in to force a clinch, then get the most of the clinch if the opponent happens to be not strong or big enough to control it. I just have to wonder why others don't do it even if just to last the distance and cash in.

Spence is just a bigger Porter. If he's the size of Shaun he'd be in numerous headbutts.

Spence vs Porter would be an interesting fight.

No fighter will walk over AB without at least tasting the hardest shots of their career...
Broner will have all the motivation in the world going into this fight and less pressure than ever before because all eyez will be on what Mikey does or cant do.

IMO being ultra agressive Vs. AB is playing into his style. Im picking Garcia to pull this off, but chit wont be easy.

I have my doubts about Mikey's power showing up at 140 against an iron chinned fighter like Broner. Mikey is going to have to box his way to a decision and avoid getting dropped himself. If he stays off the canvas, he is going to be able to box his way to a decision. Broner is too sloppy but is the bigger man and has pop at 140. He can definitely make it a dog fight if he's in shape.

Spence is hardly a bigger porter. He uses footwork and will land straights. The fact that he's the bigger fighter in most fights means he doesn't have to be a bigger porter.

This is the first time broner has been a huge underdog I think it may make him show up

If Mikey can outclass Broner he deserves a top 10 p4p ranking,, he is a throwback fighter with tremendous heart.

I think Mikey is special and this is the type of fight to prove that, I think he can stop Broner.

Great fight gee its been a good year.

Yeah, I probably was overplaying this Spence/Porter comparison. I must admit it wasn't evident in his previous fights or didn't materialize simply because he didn't have to. He didn't have the size disadvantage and the opponent was not exactly like Marquez or some boxing master. I was mainly referring to the Brook fight in which the expectation was a boxing contest where fans would at least witness one 10 sec of uninterrupted exchange between the two. It never happen. It's always interrupted by Spence forcing himself in and beat Brook in a clinched state, then call it like he's some master on inside fighting.

If you want to see a sample of inside fighting at its finest see Tureano Johnson against O'Kane. There was no clinching involved.
