Got a feeling they may rob Spence?

Going the distance, that's the only way Mikey wins this fight. He has to put on the masterclass boxing performance of his life, like ODH/Trinidad (even tho he lost).

I feel bad for Spence tho because he's in a lose/lose situation here, beating Garcia, a much smaller man, does nothing for him... losing to him would be a disaster for hid career, this is a very strange fight

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.

Spence would probably chop Porter down by body shots eventually. Remember AB knocked Porter down towards the end of their fight even tho AB lost the fight.

I don't see Porter beating Spence bro.

Thurman has been so inactive and supposedly injuries so I see Spence beating Thurman.

Danny Garica I think has the best chin of them all. He's never been knocked down right?

But yeah I see Spence beating DSG

Pointless fight for Spence. when Mikey was calling him out everyone said Spence was scared, once he accepted the fight they started talking about cherry picking. He won’t get any credit for this fight if he wins. Mikey is moving up one weight class which is normal it’s not like he’s jumping two like Rigo. Floyd moved up to 154 from 147 and nobody ever cared if he was too small or not.
They even wanted him to go to 160 smh

I dont remember they calling Spence scared? LOL all I hear is everyone saying Spence is too big for Mikey.

The only ones I see giving Mikey a shot are the Mexicans but they just going for their own people here I dont think they'd actually bet big on Mikey for this one.

Usually very easy to predict who Haymon wants to win. If Mikey loses, he moves back down in weight and isn't hurt very much. If Spence loses, his market value drops immensely. Obviously Haymon would want Spence to win.

I dont know man I think they view Mikey as the potential bigger star. Mikey can go up and down weight classes. He's got the big latino market and he speaks English fluently and has an exciting style.

Spence hasn't been able to get the better fights mostly because everyones dodging him but still Brook was his biggest named fight, and I love me some Spence.

He did, but he didn't knock him out or even drop him for that matter.

he dropped him in the third but the ref "missed" it. there was a slow motion gif of it and it was no trip

Exactly, the size difference between GGG and Brook was much less than the difference between Garcia and Spence. Mikey is fairly small even for a 140 pounder while Brook is a big 147er who has to cut a ton of weight to make welter.

brook struggles against come forward fighters though as we saw against carson jones. mikey loves fighting that style which is why i think he took his fight.

Yeah I agree. Mikeys getting love just for taking the fight and if he loses everyone will just chalk it up for him being too small for the bigger man.

Spence can't really win here he destroys Mikey they gonna say quit picking on the smaller guys. he goes the distance they gonna be like you couldn't stop him?

He loses or gets a BS robbery they gonna say its his fault for not stopping Mikey.

No win situation for Spence indeed.

thats what happened in ward-kovalev. kovalev was supposed to ko him! he didn't i guess ward wins? people creating self fulfilling prophecies again just like every fight.

Well I thought Kovalev won the first Ward fight and was robbed.

Yeah I thought Kovalev was gonna stop Ward too but he definitely won more rounds and the knockdown.

I can't remember my scorecard but I remember thinking Kovalev was already safe to win a comfortable UD by like the 7th round or so.

Kov and Ward were pretty evenly matched at least size wise and talent/skill wise.

Mikey is clearly smaller than Spence and was hurt and in trouble a few times against the smaller guys.
