Comments Thread For: Spence: People Misconstrue My Skills Because I Knock Guys Out

[sicko]

I think that is a GREAT THING! Keeps him motivated and working hard but that could be very bad for his opponents tho

Spence is a cold blooded Killer. I feel sorry for Mikey in this fight.

I'm still curious to see what it is that Garcia saw in Spence that he thinks he can take advantage of.

Poor defense. Never fought a good mover, counters only with the left hand, can be quieted with hard punches and feints, and will abondon the jab if countered enough, long but not great at fighting long. The issue will be if Garcia can get in good enough condition to take Spence's punch and move like he'd ideally want to, esspecially in the later rounds. Mikey has not come into a fight in his best shape since Ariza left his camp. Im looking forward to see what these snac guys can do.

SNAC guys are great at conditioning, that won't be a problem.

Maybe Mikey has seen some flaws in Spence that he can exploit. Let's wait and see !!!

& this is exactly what I been saying. People pretend Spence is just some Brawler.

Or Mikey's boxing skills is on some ridiculous level compared to Errol Spence's.

I want to hear them same people who picking Mikey, or him to go 12, or he's the best fighter Spence has fought... blah blah. I want to hear them after the fight.

Mikey was already champ at 140 so i see this as a one division jump, not two. but the narrative is set. Spence gets zero credit for this win while Mikey turns into a legend if he pulls it off. I expect Spence to come with the mindset of "you don't belong here" and put a horrible beating on Mikey until the white flag comes. but if Mikey wins.. I'll be shocked.

I just feel like true boxing people know real skills. All the guys who say I am a brute or I just come forward and knock people out don't really know anything about boxing.

There is no way to know REAL skills until we see you in with someone that isn't naturally smaller than you. We need to see you tested by fighters your own size. You do come foward, straight forward.

[BillyBoxing]

Spence will look good versus Mikey, his 5 inches and 17 natural pounds advantages should be enough for putting a number on Mikey's lil arse.

Let's face it, if a way smaller, not faster fighter beat you, then your shyt, or the guy is Duran or Floyd.

Mikey ain't no Duran and Spence is no joke even if he still needs to earn his P4P status IMO

Yet his last fight was at 135, so he will move up 2 divisions from his last fight... don't underestimate the risks Mikey is taking.

Acting like Mikey is a solid 140 pounders moving up one division to 147 is dishonest.

Dude is a featherweight champ, lightweight champ competing for a WW title.
That's some Armstrong, Duran type of weight jumping and achievements.

This is special, Spence never moved up, he is a true WW
