Comments Thread For: Trainer: Mikey Garcia To Be 'Stronger, Faster, Better' For Spence

[McNulty]

Spence body shots are awesome so Mikey needs to come prepared.

Not really. He throws the same angles over and over. Mikey is going to outbox him. Go back and watch the Salido fight. Mikey can Box.

I like em both and I hate it for the loser so if I have to pick I Will unhesitatingly pick:

GARCIA!!! I know it’s up hill but it may not be due to Garcia’s gameness coupled with outrageously marvelous skills!

We just don’t know if Spence will come to overwhelm Mikey with terrible shots and succeed or will Mikey make him pay the price ! Spence may blow me away by KOing Mikey but I don’t believe that til I see it! It’s super dangerous for Mikey but then it just may not be , we are either gonna see ALL TIME GREATNESS or we will see a try at it.

Sounds pretty black and white for me. Thanks for clearing it up.

thing is that he's too short and small.. he's gonna need to be quick on his feet to get spence off of him. i dont see him doing that. mikey uses upper body movements more than his feet. so he's gonna have to be on top of his game because spence is coming for him. unless he pulls a canelo vs ggg 1 where he completely switches up his style and fight off the back foot.

I'm shocked that Mikey hasn't included those exercises in his regimen before now.

He's basically been getting by with just roadwork, heavy bag, mitts, and sparring.

that just tells you that he's been fighting bums his career that's why he never felt the need and he knows this. im not knocking on mikey. but for him to go and finally get a s/c coach for the spence fight just shows you the level of comp he's been fighting.

Mikey is a great fighter but Spence is not easy work. If anything, he will be Mikey's toughest opponent to date. Win or lose, Mikey already has my respect for taking on a tough challenge

Mikey is Errol Spence best fight on his resume and his toughest fight since what Brook back in 2017/

I'm about as big a fan of a Mikey as you are but I don't even think you believe that. I'm surprised that Robert made this statement. That's almost as bad as when Arturo Gatti's trainer said something to the effect that they were incorporating more boxing in his game in preparation for Mayweather.

If Mikey should win this fight it won't be because of his strength or power. He'll have to put on a clinic like Mayweather did against Canelo.

We'll see if he can do it.

One that robert does is talk just to talk, I was watching a theboxingvoice interview where they were interviewing Robert and they asked him about something he said and he said "DID I SAY THAT" and they like yea we have the clip and he just started busting out laughing, I think robert does play mind games a tad bit when it comes to styles, game plans etc.

However, Mikey body been needing a overhaul, he looked stronger back at 126lb when he was with Ariza doing S&C with him then he looked in his recent fights cause he does absolutely no physical training at all. Its cant hurt.

Come on man. Salido, Broner, Robert Easter, Roman Martinez, Elio Rojas, and Juan Carlos Burgos were not bums.

Don't sound like a casual.

Mikey is no doubt an excellent fighter.
In fact, he is one of my favourite fighters but he will be giving so many things away against Spence.
Size, power and weight will be against him.On fight night, Spence will rehydrate to a middleweight which will give him an enormous advantage. Mikey will gain massive respect if he is able to go the full distance with Spence.

my bad.. b-c level guys then.

Massive size difference if that photo is accurate. Mikey isn't a mobile boxer and coupled with the size difference he has little chance to pull this off. Don't know why he wants this fight but it would be a massive upset if he wins.
