I think Mikey knows something we don't. Duran carried his power when he moved up in weight even beating Barkley who had a monster physique in comparison. I think Mikey might actually carry his weight and be strong at 147. In the Garcia gym on the Sechbach videos they always say how Mikey hits so hard, even harder than Maidana, which if I remember correctly has been verified by sparring partners.
Notice in the fight last night it didn't even look like mike hurt Easter that bad, but then all of the sudden in the 7th or so he just got extremely more gun shy and defensive. Then in the post fight interview he said the shot that put him down wasn't the shot that hurt him. I suspect Mikey hurts people with things we aren't even picking up on watching, which may be another hands of stone type of scenario.
Many people when viewing the Spence fight dismiss it immediately due to size, as did I, especially after watching last nights fight. However, the more I think about it and try and see what Mikey sees I am coming around to the angle that he can make it competitive.
For starters, if you look at Errol Spences resume, I think Mikey can get through it undefeated, even versus Kell Brook (again this assuming he is strong still at 147). Then there is the part of styles, Mikey is a master at the traditional Mexican style. Speed and combinations would be a disadvantage to him stylistically imo. However, someone without superior foot speed will let Mikey dictate everything. This will allow him to use his superior timing which is really one of his best assets. If he can control the distance with Spence, and start timing him due to the lack of speed, we might have a fight on our hands.. Though, one can easily just take a step back and say hes fighting ****ing midgets and delusional.
With this fight we have the possibility of extremely different outcomes which makes it compelling. Will eating pizza and being so chill catch up to him? Leading him to step into the ring with a different type of animal and gets mauled and embarrassed, or is Mikey a true Mexican skilled goat about to really represent and prove himself...
On a side note how great would it be if Mikey just came in all juiced got that steroid strength coach Heredia and came in with a 6 pack after doing sit ups for the first time.
