Will Spence inactivity hurt him against mikey?

[jas]

Yeah

Spence wasn't sharp early Vs brook and Spence cited inactivity as the reason

But Mikey doesn't throw as many punches as brook so it'll allow Spence to get comfortable and warm to the task

[KTFOKING]

Wow big statement: Spence tko 8
So you think pops and bro will stop the fight or cuts ?
I do agree though that the man to beat Spence will have to stop him in his tracks
I really hope Garcia can continuously touch him precisely and win this

I think Spence drops him and starts landing shots on him and either the referee steps in or Robert throws in the towel.

A smaller fighter going up a weight class or two is nothing all that uncommon. But that small fighter usually has some type of physical advantage usually coming in hand speed. I don't think Spence is all that fast, but neither is Mikey. So Mikey doesn't have the advantage there. What he will be banking on is Spence trying to land big shots and he could counter and turn him enough to frustrate him. If you want to feel any better, Merchant was the one calling for Pacquiao/DLH as he thought Pacquiao could win. Guess who has been calling for Spence/Garcia?

But I'm still rolling with Spence. His boxing ability, especially his jab is getting overlooked here. Dude will bloody Mikey's nose by the 4th or 5th round. Spence likes to jab his way in and murders the body. Mikey obviously will be trying to land some counter uppercuts when that happens. If Mikey can land those counters and make Spence hesitant? Then we got ourselves a fight!

Mikey needs to land something hard fast (Within the first 2 rds) & test his power against Spence.
(Coukd be packing some glass??)

Spence weighed 156 on fight night for Ocampo as reported on the show. Mikey said he expects to weigh 155 on fight night for Spence so they will weigh about the same. Spence will knock Mikey out because he is better. Quit making excuses for Mikey in advance.

So spence is all the sudden walking into the ring 10lb lighter than normal? Someone is trying to sell the fight.

Mikey is not as small as people make out he been in with WW for years and touched up Maidana many times sparing, if Maidana was fighting Spence nobody would say he was too small.

Mikey is a very precise boxer, I see Spence just grinding him down with his non stop pressure, but I think the fight will be competitive and not as one sided as people think, its the most intriguing fight for years.

Maidana's best days were at 140lb. Not the best example in the world.

Bro...they are not excuses. They are facts. I know you're a big Spence fan and all but Mikey's last fight was at Lightweight bro, 135lbs. This is welterweight we are talking about, 147lbs.

I get what your saying
To his defense , I just don’t see his dad and brother accepting this fight without feeling and most likely knowing something
I think Mikey will **** the body like no one has done to Spence
And thus opening up for Mikey to get some valuable shots in and yes the uppercut
I just like the way Garcia does not waste energy and is quite precise with his shots
We’ll find out how Spence takes the body shots
I hope he doesn’t take Mikey seriously
Yes I’d rather see Garcia win

His dad and father didn't want the fight. They were against it but Mikey is a grown man that makes his own decisions.

Mikey going to the body is interesting. And you are right, no one has gone to the body against Spence. Peterson threw some body shots but he was overwhelmed from the start and was on the defensive much of the fight.


I can't wait for this fight though. First six or so rounds are going to be super interesting. And depending on how Mikey can control the fight, it may be a tight one until the end!

This was what showtime said he weighed for Ocampo months before Mikey challenged him. I can only go by what showtime said he weighed on his way to the ring. If they lied I have no way to know that but why would they lie? At the time Spence fought Ocampo nobody in the world knew Mikey would be fighting Spence in march 2019. I have never heard of Spence weighing in at 166 on fight night. Have you? People like to say Spence is a giant welterweight but the scales say he is just an average sized welterweight who gains a very normal 9 pounds from the weigh in to the the fight. If you have actually knowledge of Spence weighing 166 on fight night and aren't just guessing then what fight was that?

[daggum]

expect mikey to stop spence in 4-6 rounds
