Comments Thread For: Robert Garcia: Errol Spence is Beatable, Mikey 'Sees Something'

I got a secret for you, you dont need power to get a KO.

You do at that level of boxing.

[dwayne3534]

Guys like Spence - who come forward and throw caution to the wind - can definitely be KO'd. Timing is everything.

And a guy like Spence, whose never really been troubled, would be in unfamiliar territory...its a scary thing for confidence. That much I can tell you

He doesn't come forward throwing caution to the wind. And if that's what Garcia thinks, he is going to be in big trouble. And you have never seen him in trouble. He was an amateur for a long time and spars with the Charlos. I am sure he knows what to do if Mikey catches him and actually hurts him somehow. But from Brook landing solid right hands and Spence literally walking through them, and Garcia's inability to effectively hurt anyone at 140. There is no reason to think he hurts Spence unless what he sees is some drug they dont test for yer

The night of the fight Spence will be heavyweight next to Mickey

Don't do it Mikey. I see holes in Errol's D but you might have to take punishment to hurt or even stop Errol & Errol's too big for you. There are other fighters like Devin Haney, Tank & l0m0 you can probably have PPV Fights with.

If he sees a weakness let him try!! I hope he doesn't back out last minute.

EXACTLY!!! Everyone around here is posting like they are Mikey's mom. If the guy thinks he sees a weakness and is willing to go big or go home... this is prizefighting!! I have no idea exactly how this fight is going to play out, but it's got my attention

Brook was doing just fine, but the constant body shots, and the pressure of fighting someone like Spence, well..."pressure bursts pipes!"

[Boxfan83]

hey he beat kell brook coming off a ko loss that's amazing! we all remember when morales was coming off a decision loss after moving up and pac was "cherry picking" but that was the best win of the century for spence!

Correction* Spence's biggest victory was swelling Mayweathers eye sparring and getting a shout out from Floyd after. That's when the nuthugging began.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

... nope -- you maybe don't need sheer force!... but power?... that's exactly what you need...

nope, power is luxury everyone wants cause why not it can only help but you dont need any real power for a KO. Drown em in a war of attrition and when the time is right you clown land a anything flush and it will KO em. You can run someone into a shot, or you can just land that flush shot right on the button.

Power is always welcomed but its not everything.

Mikey has respectable power. And if Spence came in reckless he could get hurt BUT I don't think that's what Garcia is relying on because Spence don't fight that way. He uses his range very well to throw solid punches.

1 thing Mikey has befuddled his last opponents with was his footwork/rhythm and its hard to time. I think he is relying on that to stay inside of Spences range and take away Spences game. Mikey will need to stick to a very very very tight game plan but it could work. RGBA has some big WW's in their stable right now, some thicker and taller than Spence. This also gives Mikey that confidence people are questioning.

When I've heard Robert talk about this fight he doesn't come across quite as confident as he usually does. He knows this fight is a big risk & Mikey is probably a bigger dog to win then he'd like to see.

Don't mean Mikey can't win or that Spence doesn't have some achilles heel weakness no one has exposed yet, but it does feel like a reason why Robert might not wanna see this fight go down.
