    Got a feeling they may rob Spence?

    Anyone else got a feeling they may rob Spence?

    I like Mikey a lot but I do think the size difference will show after a few rounds.

    I think Spence is the best fighter at 147 and he stops everyone, but if Mikey somehow beats Spence it would probably be by controversial decision.

    It seems like they can make more money off of a Mikey win since he's got the big latino market and speaks English unlike Canelo.

    mikey shouldnt go the distance. look what ggg did against his smaller opponent, he took him out in a few rounds. lomachenko made rigondeaux quit. garcia is better than brook but hes also even smaller in comparison to spence than brook was compared to ggg and rigo to lomachenko. it should be a total annihilation if spence is as good as people say.

      If this fight goes to decision its because Mikey was beating him... No way this goes to decision otherwise as Mikey clearly is the more skilled of the 2.

        If Mikey is able to get it to the Cards then that means he probably did Out-Box Spence Jr for 12 Rounds and should get the win. I would not be upset at all if Mikey won, I kinda want to see Mikey Garcia vs Manny Pacquiao

        If Spence Jr lose he would just move up to 154 and become World Champion again anyway similar to Thomas Hearns after losing to Ray Leonard

        Upsets are great for the sport but it should be earned, Robbery are very bad for the sport especially for the Paying Casual Customers

          It wont make it to the cards. The smurf is getting KOed or Robert is going to white flag before it comes to that just like Peterson.

            Mikey actually won a title one weight class below WW unlike Brook who never won a title at 154 nor did Rigo at 126. Mikey has actually fought three of his last five fights at LWW. And he is more skillful than Brook and just flat out better at this point than Rigondeaux.

            He should be more competitive than the other two smaller fighters. I mean as good as Rigo was, Lomachenko was above him on the P4P lists. As good as Brook was, GGG was above him on P4p lists. That isn't the case here. Mikey is above Spence on most lists, and if he isn't, both are practically close to each other.

              Who is "they". Spence has more ties to PBC that Mikey. If anyone gets "robbed" it'll be him. That said, this isnt going to the scorecards IMO

                theres a huge size difference, look at the photos.

                  If Spence can't KO Mikey (a former featherweight) in 12 rounds then his stock should fall considerably. Remember GGG and Canelo were criticized for losing rounds to Brook and Khan respectively even though they both scored knockouts. If Spence is as good as they say he is, he should beat Garcia pretty easily and not need to go to the scorecards to do it.

                    He didn't stop Ronald Cruz though, how is he going to stop Thurman, Garcia, or Porter?

                    I think Porter beats Spence to be honest, too strong. They're both JMW's.
