Spence is being delusional...he won’t get credit for beating Mikey up...critics will say Mikey was too small
Plus Nelo is the plug right now and nobody is close...Excluding Pac because he’s just collecting checks and not really pulling the numbers he did in the past

I don't have a problem with Spence motivating himself saying such things but it does sound delusional. Like most folks I view this is a mismatch and a fight that nobody asked for or wanted apart from Garcia. I'm not mad at Spence for taking it because Thurman/Porter/Garcia all want to fight each other and not him and Haymon doesn't want to deal with Crawford and Garcia called him out.
Spence's glaring weaknesses just don't fall strongly enough into Mikey's strengths enough to compensate the size differential. Spence is a 154 guy boiling down whereas Mikey is a 135 bulking up too quickly. Spence has slow feet, next to no head movement and is easy to tag with right hands. Mikey is a sharpshooter but often does the same thing over and over and he himself has limited head movement and slow feet so he won't be able to stay far away long enough and Spence's blows will do far more damage. I'd imagine it will mostly be fought at mid-range and stops being competitive around the 4th or 5th round. I think Mikey will be saying no mas around the 8th or 9th.
