What if M.Garcia performs like Canelo in GGG1 against Spence?

[Larry the boss]

Mikey’s strategy will have to be getting and staying inside so he can smother Spence’s punches and counter. If he tries to run on the outside like Canelo did, he will not be able to do enough to win.

Mikey trying to fight Spence in the pocket will end in a early night

Lol you can make an argument of the second fight , but come on, the first one wasnt as you are saying.

I think mikey will defend himself real good, but eventually the size will matter

[BLASTER1]

Remember everybody said: “what is Canelo going to do when GGG has him at the ropes?” Or like Paulie Malignaggi: “it won’t go past 6 rounds..”

What if Mikey Garcia has wide scores like 118-110 or 117-111 and wins a Unanimous Decision in which he made Spence:

-1.) miss constantly
-2.) played rope a dope and had Spence miss combinations awkwardly
-3.) has all the power shots instead
-4.) isn’t hurt

So if Mikey gets the win and plays with Spence the way Canelo did with GGG 1? Will everyone look back at Adelaide Byrd and send her flowers?

He doesn't have the same skills as Canelo therefore it will not happen.

Spence will have 10-15 lbs on Mikey. Canelo, on the other hand, probably outweighed Golovkin by a few pounds

Everybody said GGG was the bigger fighter from the two. Golovkin looked even bigger in the 2nd fight and Canelo had gained muscle mass to fully be at 160. They probably about the same. Canelo has the younger torso, more chiseled. GGG has the bigger overall frame because he’s older, but of course Canelo has the bigger legs. In essence if you stretched out Canelo to GGG’s height he slims out.

Of course it is. Did anybody in the thread deny the points mentioned? I’m not sure you realize, everybody has Spence beating Mikey by demolition. This was said about Canelo GGG 1. So if Mikey performs the same way, don’t you think Adelaide Byrd deserves a bouquet of flowers?

But if he stays on the end of Spence's reach he has no chance. His only hope is to get inside, get in some work and move. Mikey will have to be in the best condiiton of his life to keep that pace of moving in and out while landing without getting hurt. I just think this fight is all wrong for him.

I just think the way Mikey fights which is really right in front of you is terrible for this fight..He has no slick defense and is not super fast so I really want to see what his game plan is here

[SkillspayBills]

Byrd did nothing wrong

He isn't though. And Mikey isn't as good as Canelo. This fight isn't going past the 8th round. Simple

[boliodogs]

What if a flea picked up an elephant and threw it 100 yards? Canelo performed well but I thought GGG won both fights. I think Spence wins every round and KOs Mikey in 6 rounds or less. All of your what ifs will not happen but dream on until they fight.

[STREET CLEANER]

Spence defense is good going forward. He invests in the body and is consistently touching the other fighter with his punches until he figure things out. Unless going up in weight is so beneficial to Mikey and he can slow Spence with sharp counters I don't see Mikey winning.

Kudos to him for taking such a huge task
