    Anyone else think Mikey/Spence ends up like GGG/Brook ?

    Don’t get me wrong. Mikey is a great fighter top 10 p4p even. But he should have taken a tuneup at WW first since he last fought at 135. Prime Kell Brook was also a great fighter, he schooled Porter all night. He moved to 147 to 160 then got destroyed and ruined his career. (Orbital injury)

    Also a question, Is there a boxer in his prime who moved up to two weight classes and beat the other guy who’s also in his prime and considered onemof the top guys in his division ?

      I feel Mikey will be better prepared than Brook ever was Mikey has been in the gym sparring guys like Edwin Valero, Pacquiao and Maidana since he first started

      Im not saying he wins I still think Spence will be too much for him down the stretch but Mikey has a better chance than Brook did

        No, because outside of Errol Spence's natural ability he is yet still green. Mikey is easily hands down the more seasoned, experienced and developed of the two fighters. Skills pays the bills.

          No I dont think so, Brook showed early in his fight with Spence that Spence can be out-boxed and frustrated. And I dont think Spence will be able to simply walk through Mikey like GGG did to Brook.

          Mikey is too crafty and hits too hard for that imo. I'm still favoring Mikey in this fight, he is the technically better and more experienced of the 2.

            Really think Garcia is going to pull this off

              I don't anticipate this fight to be the cake walk in the park for Errol Spence as many boxing fans tend to believe. Personally, I expect a very hotly contested and highly competitive fight.

              Mikey knows what he is doing. He chose this fight for reason because he obviously notices something in Spence's arsenal that he feels he can exploit.

              Besides, how many notable opponents that Erroll Spence, Jr has on his resume outside of Chris Algieri, Kell Brook, and Lamont Peterson anyway; Not many?

                Mikey is Errols best quality opponent by far, I think it will be very competitive during the first half and Errols pressure just getting too him in the late rounds.

                Mikey is a lot better quality operator than Brooks is, I dont see Errol just walking through him I expect some precise boxing and counter punching from Mikey with Errol keeping a fast pace.

                  It could either end up like GGG vs Brook (Spence playing as GGG; Mikey playing as Brook)

                  OR

                  It could end up like Pac vs Margarito (Mikey playing as Pac; Spence playing as Margarito)
