Comments Thread For: Spence: If I Beat Garcia The Way I Plan, I'll Be The Guy in The Sport

[Boxing Trufe]

Spence is extremely overrated and overhyped, the great black hope at 147. Mikey exposes this slow plodding weight bully.

Mikey is good but I don't see him absorbing all those punishing body punches from Spence for 12 rounds.

I hope you're right and if Mikey wins I'll be sure to give you your props and I'll let everyone on here know you called it in good faith!

I hope I am too lol, its all good, thanks. respect will be reciprocated whenever the scenario gets swapped.

I like Spence butu can't be serious, this shlt is a glorified mismatch. If Spence don't kill Mikey any other way he wins doesn't even count imo.

Is this a legitimate post?

I’m picking Garcia to score a unanimous decision but, it HAS to be unanimous. Check out Garcia’s defence against previously faced opponents, it’s tight and he doesn’t get hit with anything of note to say it’s bothering him.
Besides, Spence should have really be facing Kell Brook in a post fight promised rematch, the way that fight played out was spence winning yes, but kell lost it because of the damage that never would prevent the man himself continue to give a very good account of himself.
Anyway, I had spence ahead only by the 10/8 round by stoppage point so he never really impressed for that performance at elite level and yet, many believe that Kell Brook is a nobody.
I think we can all say that spence would avoid that fight like the plague and why? $$$$$$$$$$ america is the king of everything let’s not forget! Lol

This is not confidence but arrogance. Typical from American pbc fighters.

You re just an alphabet titlist in one simple division errrrr'ol, beating a career 130 lbs midget won t help.

Clean 147 and 154 then we can talk.

I agree with the overrated part, still, Errol is a good fighter, mikeys skills won't help.

This is not Broner, Errol is big natural ww and he can fight. Mikey looked already small and flabby at 140.

[BillyBoxing]

Mikey fought Broner @ 140...he’s really just moving up 1 weight class. He’s a good fighter...looking forward to this one. Should be a good night for boxing.

Yeah, then next if Mikey fight Hurd at 154 it s only one division up the Spence fight isn't it?

Why not ending up fighting wilder that way?

Not sure I agree with this. Like Mayweather had two titles at 154 but I think we all knew he was a welterweight, I mean his fight night weight against Canelo was 150lbs.

But then again, what was Garcia's fight night weight when he fought at 140? I guess the difference would be there.

[Sledgeweather17]

Beating "A" guy doesn't make you "The" guy. C'mon Spence, you're gonna have to do more than beat on a smaller guy moving up. Gotta get rid of the other champs in your division at least

I think he means in terms of star power, fanbase, and attraction, not neccessarily in terms of being the best fighter at welterweight. I think he knows he needs to beat either Thurman or Crawford for that.

Also, based on what he said, it sounds like he wants to win in a way that people have no doubt that he would have won even without the size advantage.

It sounds like he wants to completely outbox Garcia and THEN knock him out.
